This Day In Hockey History (2/7)

Posted by on Feb 7, 2012 16:10

We let the rookies sometimes lead us here on This Day.  There were some players that put a capital F in feistiness but Dino Ciccarelli put an exclamation point in front of it.  Ciccarelli had one hell of a hockey career and drove so many hockey people insane.  Today’s moment comes from 31 years ago and as always we have the video first and then a moment ladies and gentlemen.

 

 

February 07, 1981

Minnesota rookie Dino Ciccarelli scored the first goal of his NHL career, and added two assists, in a 5-5 North Stars’ tie against the Islanders, at Long Island.

We are on a very short schedule today so if posts seem to be flying everywhere, they may really be doing so.  Today on This Day, there were so many good choices and tough ones at that.  Today’s moment happened 46 years ago and is one record no one will ever ever touch for very obvious reasons.

 

 

February 07, 1965

Detroit’s Gordie Howe became the first player in NHL history to score 100 career goals against every opposing team in the league, during a 6-0 win over the visiting Montreal Canadiens. Rookie Roger Crozier recorded his 7th career shutout.

BallHype: hype it up!

Then on Sunday there was a rookie and I heard he was good. The following happened 22 years ago today. It still seems amazing that it was this long ago.
