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

[Davenport]

There were two Pronovosts who played for the Montreal Canadiens. The first

one is Andre. The second one is Claude - brother of Marcel and Jean.

November 22, 1980... Back when the Oilers used to make good decisions...

I like the reference to Jean Ratelle.

It's pretty crazy when you consider the two dudes on the left (Bobby and Brett Hull) combined for 1351 NHL goals (regular season only)!

Wait. Are you sure that's Brett on the left? … I thought Bobby Jr. was the oldest and Brett was a little porker. Could that be Bart in the middle?

I'm not sure at all. Can anyone clarify? Brett Hull, are you out there...?

The bigger question is....couldn’t he afford more than one glass of milk?

Not so much great as funny, perhaps...

I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when this idea was being pitched in a board room, and again to see Ciccarelli's face when he first heard of this

Possibly not. The photo in question is from a newspaper (magazine?) article that reports Hull as saying he is broke because his wife spent all his money.

Just based on their looks, my bet is Brett is the one at right.

That's what I initially thought, too. I guess you are right.

Mike Rogers

He was just the third Ranger to hit the 100-point mark in a season, and then really fell off after that.

Blaine Stoughton rejoined Mike Rogers in New York

Love the expression on Arnie Brown's face.

After the 1968-69 season - while recovering from spinal surgery - Harry Howell was offered a number of different off-ice positions by Emile Francis. Howell said he wanted to continue playing, and his contract was sold to the California Golden Seals. It was December 1969, before he was able to make his debut. Over the course of his short stay in Oakland, Harry endeared himself to his young teammates who were impressed with his personality and professionalism. Dennis Hextall - who played with Howell in 1970-71 - said that "Harry Howell ... really wanted to win," while other Seals "were just putting in time." ("Shorthanded," page 122)

Dave Balon, Dick Duff and Yvan Cournoyer are all smiles after winning the Cup in 1966. Balon - during his first stint with the New York Rangers - made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs once. During his four seasons in Montreal, he made the playoffs each season, and reached the Final three straight seasons - hoisting the Cup twice. Think of the playoff purses he'd have received. Then came time in Minnesota, back in New York, and finally in Vancouver.

Dave Poulin, Ted Huesing, Sverker Torstensson, Bengt ”Bomben” Thelin och Palle Andersson. "Bomben" is swedish for "the bomb"

I think Brett is far right. He was young than junior.
