It is a lighter than usual Monday as it is Presidents Day.  However, we have a “This Day In Hockey History” anyway.  There are always those moments that you look back on and go wow.  Today is one of those days.  Now do not fret.  We have a video today that Plante may be more known for and then of course the gem for today.  Enjoy and remember the Presidents today!
