This Day In Hockey History (8/8)

Posted by on Aug 8, 2011 14:21

Yes we wanted to wish Ken Dryden a very happy birthday but that is not our moment today.  That may be surprising but we probably have done a few too many birthdays lately.  This one comes from a name that most older fans know immediately as soon as he is mentioned.  Simply Dave “Tiger” Williams was one of the fiercest customers in the NHL.  It was never quite the same when this moment happeneed 27 years ago today.  As always, more fantasy fun coming later but for now…..

 

 

August 08, 1984

Vancouver traded Tiger Williams to Detroit in exchange for left wing Rob McClanahan.

This one happened 32 years ago today….now talk about transactions of the totally weird kind.  There are a couple twists in this one indeed.

 

 

August 08, 1978

Free agent goalie Rogie Vachon of the Kings signed with Detroit. Dale McCourt was awarded to the Kings as compensation. Ultimately the Red Wings sent Andre St. Laurent and two future draft choices to L.A. in return for McCourt.
