Toronto....I think this is the 1930s....

A nice view of Maple Leaf Gardens, at right....Church Street, then Yonge Street, then Bay Street....Queens Park near top left....

2Oct1967-Stanfield_Shack_Espo_Hodge_gold_jersey.jpg
The four newest Bruins gather for a photo: Fred Stanfield, who would have 20 goals, 44 assists and 64 points in 1967-68; Eddie Shack, who would have 23 goals, 19 assists and 42 points; Phil Esposito, who would have 35 goals, 49 assists and 84 points; and Ken Hodge, who would have 25 goals, 31 assists and 56 points.
 
The Leafs' penalty killers were kept busyView attachment 446813

Interesting how the exact same Leafs jersey looks to be two completely different shades of blue in the two pics. Most likely due to the photographer's saturation/brightness settings.

I wonder how much of our impression of the previous generation's uniforms, etc. is skewed by poorly colored photographs. I still always see the Yankees hats/pinstripes as black even though they're actually navy blue.

Gordie Howe - seen here with Ron Climie - was on his way to a 100-point season (31 goals, 69 assists), in his first season in the WHA. In 13 playoff games - on his way to hoisting the Avco Cup - Mr. Hockey had 3 goals and 14 assists.

Here we see Flyers' GM Keith Allen with Bernie Parent, Ed Van Impe, Gary Dornhoefer and Joe Watson.
 
What a season for Lanny in 1982-83! (Not his best photo on the hockey card, however...)

Speaking of the mustachioed Lanny McDonald, have you ever seen him in the 1978 Hungry Man commercial with Brian Glennie?

One of my earliest memories!

Another goal? This one by Henri Richard. Eddie Johnston is sporting the Bruins' jersey of the pre-expansion 1960s. That was when Boston missed the playoffs for eight straight seasons. The jerseys were changed before the 1967-68 season, and the fortunes of the team improved. Coincidence?

Bugsy and Bobby
Bryan-Watson.jpg
An usher sits between Bryan Watson and Bobby Hull in the penalty box. This photo was taken during the first round of the 1965-66 playoffs, during which the Wings eliminated the Hawks in six games. Hull scored two goals, as did Watson. Bryan earned a lot of attention in the hockey world for the job he did driving Bobby to distraction in this series. Andy Bathgate - who scored five goals for Detroit in that series - nicknamed Watson "Bugsy," a name which stuck.
