1970s – Acrobatic save from the “Popcorn Kid”, Mike Palmateer

That's not from the 1970's. This shot is from Palmateer's second stint in Toronto (when he wore a helmet and cage rather than fibreglass face mask.)

My guess is this from 1983-84, his final season in the league.

... awesome stream of photographs RGO!

 

[Albatros]

Neither a photo nor necessarily that great in itself, but the first footage of any kind I've ever seen of Kurri (#25) playing with Mediolanum (white) during his season off from the NHL between his tenures with the Oilers and the Kings (1990/91):



Finding photos of this seems as hopeless as of Makarov with the Stars...

 

[pappyline]

Captain Litzenberger leads team mates into stands.

 

[Doctor No]

Photos from Andy Brown's last NHL game (also known as the last NHL game with a maskless goaltender):

 

[Doctor No]

Butch Deadmarsh doesn't seem too worried about the lack of Brown's mask.

Thanks for the correction. You are right. That is definitely from the 1980s and his second stint with the Leafs.

[ICM1970]

Photos from Andy Brown's last NHL game (also known as the last NHL game with a maskless goaltender):

I know that NBC broadcast that game on April 7, 1974. I've always wondered if a colour videotape of that game exists somewhere, in addition to the other games NBC did back from 1972 to 1975.

I was never a fan of those masks either. Glad those days are gone.

... ya.... thank Tretiak for that.... Molsons for Laurentide which as I recall only available in PQ & a sort of early discount type brand that went flat fast. Why they promoted it to the extent that they did with signage in the Forum no idea. It was a staple Draft brand at a lot bars, pubs in & around Montreal, QC etc, only available in 24's & quart bottles... like Birdcage Masks.... eventually "discontinued". That signage, label, brand, reflective of Molsons, grasp on the franchise weakening through the 80's though ya, coupla Cup wins into the early 90's. Weak beer, weak ale, off label piss water to commemorate the era I guess. So sad seeing that franchises demise thereafter.
