This Day In Hockey History (8/21)

These are the days when the moments are just so few that there seems like there is little hope.  Hoever we did find a pretty decent one in the inbox late this morning.  Now the question is will we complete this post before the rains and thunder come again?  Normally this is a joke but actually with the strange downpours lately, one never knows.  Anyway, this gem comes from 99 years ago.  Yes it is a birthday tribute of sorts.  First we have a special link and then the video and moment.
