Construction of the Montreal Forum, 1924.

I work in construction, and as hazardous as my business is these days, I can’t imagine how dangerous it was in 1924 without all the safety protocols and training we have today. I see a ladder almost in the center of the picture leading up to the roof that I would NEVER climb!

It was a different time.

Construction of the Montreal Forum, 1924.

I was in Montreal in 2017 for the first time in 20 years.

It's somehow depressing to think of what is there, right now, where this grand hockey monument once stood.

Nov. 30, 1967. Wayne Hicks fires a shot at the Seals' net. Seals seen here are Charlie Burns (20) and Kent Douglas (19).

In 1967-68, Lou Nanne played with the American Olympic hockey team, and then played two games with the Minnesota North Stars (his first games at the NHL level). He wound up playing 635 games in the NHL, all with the North Stars.

Tim Horton, Carl Brewer, Bert Olmstead and an unnamed injured member of the Ice Capades.

I've seen this before, and it may have been posted years ago, but I was reminded of it again:

The photo is reportedly Michael Jackson dropping the puck for Stan Smyl and Mario Lemieux at a November 16, 1984 game in Vancouver. While Jackson was in the city for a tour, but a 2009 Canucks.com article on the photo was unable to confirm if this actually happened: Is that the real King of Pop?.

Eight years later, the counterproof was found:

Excellent, thanks for finding that. I wonder if Derek Jory ever got updated on this.

I've seen other photos from this promotional shoot following Crosby being selected by the Penguins, but I've never seen this face to face shot.

 

[Davenport]

On June 6, 1967, the St. Louis Blues selected defenseman Rod Seiling from the New York Rangers in the Expansion Draft. The Rangers then traded Gary Sabourin (seen here), Gord Kannegiesser (who shortened his name from Gordon), Tim Ecclestone and Bob Plager to the Blues for Seiling.

More like face to chin.

I briefly worked for Gary Sabourin about 12 years ago. His hands are massive!

Not much room behind the net in that outdoor arena.

Yes. Gretzky wouldn't have enjoyed it!

1939 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Toronto Maple Leafs (with Turk Broda) had just eliminated New York Americans (with Alfie Moore), but apparently no hard feelings.
