It's "corny" but it's got the most the most footage of Shore you'll ever see (some real game too). Also Bill Cowley who I've never seen a clip of anywhere else
Awesome find!
St. Louis Eagles - WikipediaIf only my head was able to absorb all the informations.
We are talking about the year 1937 here, only a year before Frank Brimsek era. And i am reading, that Montreal Maroons requested a relocation to St. Louis. It was rejected but just imagine the idea of a team going down south to St. Louis at the time, NHL team, unimaginable in the original 6 era.

It did happen for a year in 1934. Travel costs basically killed them, which is why the Maroons' proposal was dismissed.

Like I said I've never seen even a 2 second clip of Bill Cowley before, and, even though this is just a demonstration, he looks pretty good at 3:27. Few realize that this guy was the all-time points leader in the NHL when he retired? With better skates and better training and conditioning we could use him on the 2nd or 3rd line today?
Shore takes out a leg at 10:00 in a real game. By all accounts he was a reckless, merciless S.O.B.
Another big name in the Bruins history. And he played for St. Louis Eagles, franchise we were talking about yesterday here.
The only NHL players who have scored more points per game in a season than Cowley's 1.97 in 1944 are Joe Malone, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
I wish there were more highlight videos around to this day, some of those goals were surely masterpieces.
That jumped out at me as well.This is amazing. It's so interesting to see the evolution of the game yet so many fundamentals remain the same.
Goaltending definitely has changed a lot. It appears goalies needed to be much more skilled with handling the puck 80 years ago.
Too bad Milt was not featured in this? (he may be in one of the team shots, I didn't notice?) It was his first or second year so maybe they only trusted the veterans to make those slow motion passes?
