This Day In Hockey History (1/26)

With the ASB now here, do not fret, there will be some posts like normal like “This Day” and maybe a little KHL and AHL fun too.  Here we go….

It just seemed poetic today that are moment involves firing a coach.  No one knows why this seems to work and yet it does.  The moment comes from 24 years ago today and literally resulted in the Devils first playoff berth ever and maybe a famous incident as seen below.  As always we have the video first and then the moment. 

 

 

January 26, 1988

New Jersey General Manager Lou Lamoriello fired Devils’ coach Doug Carpenter, and replaced him with Jim Schoenfeld. Carpenter had compiled a 100-166-24 record in 290 games for the Devils.

WWGRD or What Would Gary Roberts Do was a popular saying by Pittsburgh fans but what made the guy amazing is that at every stop he endeared himself to that fan base.  Give the guy credit, he left it all out there every night on every shift.  Today’s moment symbolized all of that hard work and it comes from just ten years ago in a game that happened yes, in New York, a place where this type of work ethic is appreciated immensely.  Here is a video and then the moment as always….
