This Day In Hockey History (2/19)

Today we just went diving back looking for a nice moment for a Sunday.  We would like to think a good one was found for “This Day”.  There are just times where the normal Paul Coffey trade to LA was too obvious or just another Wayne Gretzky moment.  Yes sometimes the obvious is used but there is that tendency to go with the not so apparent.  So we found a gem that is not quite all that obvious and the numbers will surprise you on “This Day” from 43 years ago.  Here is a video and then the moment.  Oh, and of course there is no Fantasy Hockey ONE as we will do it tonight on the air at 8pm ET on The Program.

 

 

February 19, 1969


Pittsburgh rookie Joe Daley recorded his first career shutout, as the Penguins beat Boston, 3-0, at the Civic Arena. Daley set a team record for most saves in a shutout (41) that lasted until 2004 when J-S Aubin had 45 in a 4-0 win over Dallas.

A couple weeks ago we remember the Gerry Cheevers streak in 1972, well on this day it was still going.  This is one pretty sick streak.

BallHype: hype it up!

A TGIF edition of This Day. Today’s moment is kind of a double but does put into perspective how hard it was to even get 300 wins in the NHL. This is from just 14 years ago so step back and enjoy.



Roy shut down the macarena……

February 19, 1996


Colorado’s Patrick Roy became the second youngest goaltender to reach 300 NHL victories, and Peter Forsberg scored his second career hat trick and added two assists as the Avalanche won 7-5 over the visiting Oilers.
