Which is the more flacid logo / mascot for a hockey team - a penguin a duck or a leaf?

Do you remember Brian Glennie for the Leafs?  Man, could he hit.

Great Goalie (Names)

On May 10, 2013June 1, 2013 By Rich CrowleyIn goalies, namesLeave a comment

Tony Esposito or Rogatien (Rogie) Vachon?   (Although my personal favourite for a goalie was "Red Light Racicot")

Who had worse uniforms - those old black, yellow and red things the Vancouvers wore for awhile or, umm......ok, there's no point of comparison here so let's move on.

Was Brad Marsh the most talented offensive defenceman ever to play for Toronto? (Or is this a hypothetical question?)

Who was a better raw goal scorer - Brett Hull or Mike Bossy?

The Art of the Pass

On May 6, 2013June 1, 2013 By Rich CrowleyIn Me, NHL'ers, PassingLeave a comment

Who was a better passer - Gretzky or Sid?  (I'd like a few votes on this one myself but only because I don't skate, shoot or score like these gents)

Funny Guys

On May 5, 2013June 1, 2013 By Rich CrowleyIn Humour, NHL'ersLeave a comment

Who was a funnier interview - Brett Hull or Jeremy Roenick?

Battlin’ Billy Smith vs Chico Resch – Bow Tie Bill Made The Right Call

On May 4, 2013June 1, 2013 By Rich CrowleyIn Great Players, NHL'ersLeave a comment

If the Islanders had traded Billy Smith away instead of Chico Resch, would they have won as many cups in the 1980's (or any cups for that matter)?

Names Not On The Cup

On May 3, 2013June 1, 2013 By Rich CrowleyIn Great Players, NHL'ersLeave a comment

When it comes to players who never won a cup that I would have loved to see win it, Jean Ratelle and Gilbert Perreault are the ones that come to mind first.
