Great photos in hockey history you've just seen for the first time (Part III)

[Robert Gordon Orr]

November 7, 1968 – Red Berenson (# 7) scoring one of his six goals against Doug Favell (# 1). Berenson finished the night with 7 points, 10 shots and a +7 rating. Jean-Guy Gendron (# 11) was -5

1970 ca – Bruins greeted from Phu Bai combat base in Vietnam

1971/72 – Los Angeles Captain Bob Pulford (# 20) in his last NHL-season, battling with Rod Gilbert (# 7) for position

October 21, 1979 – Mark Messier (# 11) in his 5th NHL-game and first ever NHL-fight (vs Al MacAdam)

1984/85 ca – Bryan Trottier having some fun with the photographer…I posted a cropped version of this photo in the past

June 1994 - One of the most underrated players of his generation, Steve Larmer (# 28) letting go of a shot, while we see Dave Babych (# 44) in the background

2014-15 ca – Never before have the players been as eager to give a helping hand...

October 11, 2018 – L to R – Cam Ward (# 30) – Brent Seabrook (# 7) – Mikael Granlund (# 64)

February 28, 2019 – Anthony Beauvillier beating an outstretched Garrett Sparks

January 11, 2020 – Matthew Tkachuk (# 19) have just bodychecked Zack Kassian (# 44)


BONUS

1935 ca – Not a great photo per se - Hockey historian and SIHR co-founder Bill Fitsell on the left. I just want to wish him a speedy recovery. He is 97 and in a Kingston hospital at the moment.
How many here can say that they saw their first NHL-game way back in 1936 !!!
He is one of the select few alive who can tell us about it first hand.

The first game he attended was a 5-2 win for Toronto against Boston on January 18, 1936.
Your first game and you get to see Eddie Shore, Tiny Thompson, Red Horner (16 PIM’s in the game), Dit Clapper, King Clancy, George Hainsworth, Cooney Weiland, Hap Day, Busher Jackson, Babe Seibert and Bill Cowley.
I could probably chop off my pinkie for that experience.

Still thinking about Bill Fitsell! A great hockey mind.

[Robert Gordon Orr]

^ you mean Andrei Vasilevsky, not Varlamov

Thank you. I of course ment Vasilevskiy... and not Varlamov.

Just came across this rather sad photo the other day. The two men are Charlie Conacher and Joe Primeau, standing over the casket of fellow Kid Line member Busher Jackson in 1966. Conacher would pass away just over a year later while Primeau, the oldest member of the Kid line, would live for another 23 years after this picture was taken.

Super sad news that Bill passed away today. Huge loss to the hockey history community and a man that inspired us all.

Here's a good Puckstruck column on Bill:



I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or not, which means that I probably should have. RIP, Bill. If I ever get back on the ice again, I'm glad that you'll be looking over me.

Just like old Slovan Bratislava arena. Believe or not, one time i got a ticket for a seat right behind this pillow.

Detroit Olympia 1970's

After the Flyers won the Cup, they put a couple of seats in behind a stairwell in the Spectrum.

Maybe they were there for the standing room ticket holders who were over 70.

This is a fabulous photo of two of the greatest of all time... but then I see that Penguins logo/jersey-design and it's like, "Ugh...."

Love this. We were here for Christmas last year; Czech friends, you have a beautiful capital.

This is what it looks like today.

That spot in front of the Astronomical Clock is always jam-packed with tourists; it's great to see it in a different time...

 

[Davenport]

Don't think I've ever seen this image before. Number 4 before he became #4 - trying very hard to look tough.

Is Phil the one on the right with his mouth open?

Is Phil the one on the right with his mouth open?

The one on the bigger tricycle. Or the one that looks older, I guess

It's ok that's not what I meant. I said the open mouth thing as a joke since Phil seems to like to hear himself talk a lot.
