Here we see Mike Pelyk and Bobby Rousseau - who spent one season (1970-71) in Minnesota. In 63 regular season games, Rousseau had four goals and 24 points. In 12 playoff games, he had two goals and eight points. The next season, with the Blueshirts, Bobby looked more like the player he had been in Montreal. When Jean Ratelle was injured, Rousseau took his place between Vic Hadfield and Rod Gilbert.

Naw, he's as much a part of the whole Leafs ecosystem as Vince Vaughn and John Hamm are in Chicago and St. Louis respectively.
This one count?
Is he a snot-nosed little kid with a funny face and kind of a knob? Yes. Now let me introduce you to some of the people who actually play for the Leafs...

That was during a preseason game I believe. It's come up on the board before, and I recall that was the reason. I think Wayne switched sides mid-way to play with Keith or something.

Keith hadnt been a Roadrunner for 3 years at that point. That pre-season game was a gimmmick, with Wayne, Blake and Hrudey getting "sent down" to the IHL. Roadrunners won the game.

Shoulda got one game in
Can anybody find Tim Thomas in an Edmonton Oilers jersey? I’ve seen pictures of his jersey, but have not seen a picture of him in one. Any picture would be from the 1998-99 preseason

Thanks for this one. When I remember Hull played for the Whalers, I always think about New England not Hartford. I never remember he went into the NHL with the Jets, always think he retired in the WHA.Bobby Hull, Whalers

I remember that. Boomer and Ed Giacomin, in full uniform including skates*, did some hockey drills. They got Johnny Carson to suit up in goalie gear** and Geoffrion took some shots at him.
I wish someone had that video.
*The audience was impressed at their armored bulk. Carson cracked, "... And this is just to walk home. You should see what they wear during the game."
**When they slapped a mask on Carson, he asked "Why doesn't he [Giacomin] wear one of these?" Geoffrion replied: "He's tough!"

That's right. Some only exist because Carson himself kept kinescopes of his favorites (such as Ed Ames throwing a tomahawk at an image of a cowboy and striking an unpleasant spot).
Wish this image was in colour
In 1967-68 - the first season of expansion - Andy Bathgate led the Penguins and all the players on expansion teams with 59 points (including 20 goals). The next two seasons, Bathgate found himself with the Vancouver Canucks of the WHL. That team won the WHL's Lester Patrick Trophy (that league's championship trophy) both seasons. Andy - at 36 - was third in points on the Canucks in 1968-69 with 73 points in 71 games. Not bad. He did even better in 1969-70, scoring 40 goals (4th in the WHL), adding 68 assists (2nd) and finishing with 108 points (2nd) in 72 games. In 1970-71, Bathgate was back in the NHL with the Penguins, where he had 15 goals, 29 assists and 44 points in 76 games. The only Penguins with more points were Bryan Hextall (48) and Jean Pronovost (45).
And in 1974-75 Bathgate would return to Vancouver and play 11 games with the WHA's Blazers, whom he had coached for the last part of the 1973-74 season.
