Great photos in hockey history you've just seen for the first time (Part III)

[SealsFan]

The facial expressions, ice-chipping clear moment of action, positioning, background, lighting... even the shoe!

I'd love to have an entire wall covered with a large print of that photo.

I'll bet the shoe was one of two used to delineate the "goal". I like how everyone in the background is watching. They probably did a fair bit of posing in different positions to the amusement of onlookers.

Look at that fool in the 2nd photo, trying to run away and falling on the ice.

I don't mean to make light of what is undoubtedly a serious situation for those involved, but "Jurassic separatist" is pretty much what the velociraptors were...

Ronald "Chico" Maki - seen here with linemates Phil Esposito and Bobby Hull never did and never will get his due. As a junior with the St. Catharines Tee Pees - in 1959-60 - Maki led the OHL in points and led his team to the Memorial Cup Championship. In 1961-62, he was the top rookie in the AHL. In 1962-63, Chico began playing regularly in the NHL with the Chicago Black Hawks - and would play his entire career with them. On a line with Hull and Esposito, Maki did the dirty work of forechecking and backchecking. He understood that his role was to get the puck to Hull, and get back in a hurry if his line lost the puck. Also, Chico demonstrated a willingness and ability to play a checking role.View attachment 410701

I was told that the guys called themselves "The South of the Border Line," left to right Chico, Pancho and Roberto.

Doug Jarrett was a stay-at-home defenseman with decent size (6' 3" 205 lbs) who was just 20 when his NHL career began in 1964-65, with the Chicago Black Hawks. He played 11 seasons with the Hawks, then was traded to the New York Rangers (for goaltender Gilles Villemure). His NHL career ended after parts of two seasons with the Blueshirts.

Playoff hockey action: April 11, 1967. Jean Beliveau (# 4) is seen here forechecking in the Rangers' end against Arnie Brown (also # 4). Harry Howell (# 3) and Ed Giacomin (# 1) can also be seen. New York lost that game (game three, 3 - 2), and would lose the series in four straight games.

Action on the West Coast. Here we see Mike Murphy (# 7), Al MacAdam (# 25), Marcel Dionne (# 16) and Dennis Maruk (# 21).

 

[MeHateHe]

Dennis Maruk was the guy who could have had an extra role in Slapshot. Even in the 70s, few guys looked like the 70s like him.

Awesome pic! I had no idea Gartner wore the C for a game.

The Montreal Forum, 1960s, and downtown Montreal. That's Saint-Catherine Street going up the centre of the photo.

Looks just like Johnny Upton.

Awesome pic! I had no idea Gartner wore the C for a game.

I feel like when I was a kid back in the 90s, if the captain was out with injury, they'd put the C on an alternate's jersey for the night as acting captain. But that absolutely never happens anymore at least to my knowledge. Am I misremembering or was that a common thing?

not just any game- this was when Gartner set the then-record for consecutive 30 goal seasons with 14

I think you're right. At least, when I started watching in the late 90s it was a thing. I recall both Gretzky and Graves wearing the C for a game or two when Leetch was out.

I swear there was one game when Ray Bourque was out and Cam Neely wore the C too.

Luc Robitaille teaches Wayne how to properly grow a mullet, at the 1993 All Star game:

The late Guy Rouleau (1965-2008) center with the 1986 champion Hull Olympiques. Rouleau was MVP of the QMJHL for 1985-86. Coached by Pat Burns, Rouleau scored 191 points, tying his linemate Luc Robitaille for the League lead. Rouleau scored 91 goals, twenty more than anyone else (23 more than Robitaille).

A few months after Hull's championship and Rouleau's MVP season, Robitaille went to the L.A. Kings' training camp and stayed on, became a Calder winner, was a perennial 1st-team All Star at left wing, and scored 726 NHL goals.

Rouleau had turned 18 just before the 1983 draft, following a solid but seemingly unspectacular season, and he went undrafted. The next season he scored 133 points, but NHL teams ignored him again, while Robitaille (who was 10 months younger) was picked 171st.

In Luc Robitaille's 2009 Hall of Fame induction speech, he did not forget Rouleau, crediting him with teaching Luc how to shoot one-timers, and saying that Rouleau had made him into a goal-scorer.

In late 2008, Rouleau died following a brain tumor, aged 43.

That picture of Gretzky and Robitaille is from 1993.

Corrected! (I should have known Luc's best mullet was from his best season.)
