Maybe the Montreal guy is wearing 16? Pre greying Henri?

 

[Canadiens1958]

It is #16 Henri Richard. Other Ranger is Don Marshall.

 

[Pasha71]

Yep, Henri Richard.

 

[Pasha71]

Since he's an "A" rather than a "C", that narrows it to 1955/56 - 1970/71...

A hunch : From 66-67
Rnagers 24 is Red Berenson
Rangers 2 is Wayne Hillman
Canadiens 16 is Henri Richard
Canadiens 10 is Ted Harris
Canadiens 19 is Terry Harper
Canadiens goalie is Rogatien Vachon.

My only issue is -- I'm pretty sure Vachon always wore a mask, but I could be wrong.

 

[Pasha71]

Since no one wore number 24 on the Rangers before 1964/65. that narrows it to 1964/65 - 1970/71...

1964/65: Trevor Fahey
1964/65 - 1966/67: Jim Johnson
1967/68: Red Berenson
1967/68: Ron Atwell
1969/70: Mark Robitaille
1970/71: Ab DeMarco

A hunch : From 66-67
Rnagers 24 is Red Berenson

If it's 1966/67, it's Jim Johnson.

 

[Pasha71]

Given the time range, Montreal 19 is Terry Harper, 100%.

Nice picture, thanks for sharing. Always like seeing the old pics.

 

[Pasha71]

Montreal 10 is most likely Ted Harris, unless it's 1970/71, in which case it's either Bill Collins or Frank Mahovlich.

 

[Pasha71]

Now, since the goalie's number starts with "2", the only options are:

1966/67 Rogie Vachon (29)
1969/70 Phil Myre (29)
1970/71 Ken Dryden (29)

 

[Spirit of 67]

I think the photo is from 1969.
Montreal's goalie, #29 is Ernie Wakely. I think. (process of elimination)

 

[Spirit of 67]

Now, since the goalie's number starts with "2", the only options are:

1966/67 Rogie Vachon (29)
1969/70 Phil Myre (29)
1970/71 Ken Dryden (29)

 

[Pasha71]

Well, it can't be Phil Myre. The only NYR-MON game from 1969/70 where he played does not have a single Ranger wearing 24.

Montréal Canadiens - New York Rangers - February 15th, 1970

So either Vachon (1966/67) or Dryden (1970/71).

 

[Pasha71]

Unfortunately, 1968/69 won't do, there weren't any Rangers wearing 24 during that season.

 

[Pasha71]

If it's Vachon, there are three possibilities:

March 12, 1967, NYR - MON 2:2
April 11, 1967 (Playoffs Game 3). NYR - MON 2:3
April 13, 1967 (Playoffs Game 4). NYR - MON 1:2


NYR: 24 Berenson
MON: 29 Vachon, 10 Harris, 16 H.Richard, 19 Harper

 

[MXD]

If it's 1966/67, it's Jim Johnson.

Both wore 24, Johnson only played two games. Berenson 30.

 

[VanIslander]

Please clarify thread in thread title.

I clicked here all ready to talk about the 1979 Stanley Cup Finals I remember watching in Grade 5. Esposito scoring. The Rangers taking Game 1. The Habs storming back for two big wins. The key game 4 OT winner by Serge Savard (my #1 hero that summer). The clinching game 5 win thanks to Lemaire.

 

[Pasha71]

And if it's Dryden in 1970/71, then there are no possibilities at all. He did play at the Garden once that season, but there was no number 10 in Montreal lineup on that day.

 

[Pasha71]

Both wore 24, Johnson only played two games. Berenson 30.

You're absolutely right. See above, in all three possibilities it's Berenson.

 

[Pasha71]

A hunch : From 66-67
Rnagers 24 is Red Berenson
Rangers 2 is Wayne Hillman
Canadiens 16 is Henri Richard
Canadiens 10 is Ted Harris
Canadiens 19 is Terry Harper
Canadiens goalie is Rogatien Vachon.

Well, all this fits so far.

March 12, 1967, NYR - MON 2:2
April 11, 1967 (Playoffs Game 3). NYR - MON 2:3
April 13, 1967 (Playoffs Game 4). NYR - MON 1:2


NYR: 2 Hillman, 24 Berenson
MON: 29 Vachon, 10 Harris, 16 H.Richard, 19 Harper

 

[Pasha71]

I have to admit, I am not certain it's "2", but Hillman's face could be it.

 

[Pasha71]

I do see Vachon's 1967 other pics, no mask. Good!
