March 11, 1962 - Bob Nevin losing his contacts

Chicago Tribune wrote:
Dollard St. Laurent, Hawk defenseman, first caught Mr. Nevin in the corner, lined him up, and then gave him a body slam. As Nevin started to collapse, Dolly landed a short left hook that Referee Eddie Powers didn’t see, and then collapsed on the prone Nevin — knees first.

Play continued after Nevin arose, but the swift Toronto right winger just stood in one spot motionless, yelling for help. Time was called and players from both teams dropped to hands and knees searching for the lenses. They never were found, and Nevin groped thru the remainder of the game.

Every Monday, I do a "Team Ten Monday" trivia - a callback to the old days (starting in 1994) where I'd do weekly trivia. I finished cycling through the active NHL franchises a few weeks ago, and so have been doing defunct rosters for the time being (will start up with actives in a bit).

This week is the Colorado Rockies - I won't post all photos for sake of brevity, but if you start here and go forward in the timeline, you'll see the ten:



Some interesting photos in there - including one of Lanny McDonald that I really like in photo #9.

The summer of 1976 Rockies photos shown here and in photo #10, where they just took a Scouts sweater and slapped a Colorado crest on it, are still some of my favorites.

Edit: if image doesn't work, link here Calgary Tigers team portrait - OHS Digital Collections

Calgary Tigers in 1925–26, of the Western Hockey League (former WCHL). This team (give and take a few players) had appeared in the 1924 Stanley Cup final against the Montreal Canadiens, falling kinda flat there (1-6, 0-3).

Players are not listed in the source (Oregon Historical Society) but I'm going to list them by face recognition to the best of my ability.

Front row, from left: Cully Wilson, Rosie Helmer (coach) and Eddie Oatman.

Back row, from left: Red Dutton, ?, Archie Briden, Hal Winkler, Herb Gardiner, Harry Oliver, Gordon McFarlane, Art Duncan, Spunk Sparrow, Fern Headley.

Dutton, Gardiner and Oliver are in the HHOF. From the 1924 Calgary Tigers team Rusty Crawford is also in the HHOF, and Bernie Morris probably would have been without the draft dodging debacle.

Thanks, I have been saving the great live actions ones from the earlier days and making a point to show the Old Man when I get home next. Sometimes for the hell of it I just let them run randomly on my laptop. Gets a lot of attention when someone is over. Thanks for posting these!!!

1970s - Phil & Tony Esposito

Interesting, the Espositos had another table top hockey game during the 70's, very different from the rod style games. Instead you had two magnets each and could move the players all over, including the bench.
Did not actually work, so it got tossed decades ago, wish like hell I still had it though.
