Funny little historical detail: that goal is both Morenz's first NHL point and Joe Malone's LAST NHL point

There's no video of it as far as I know

I read once where Malone said that seeing Morenz on a drive was what led him to retire midseason. I wonder if it might have been this goal.

Wow, that's really cool ! I had no idea that Malone and Morenz had even been teammates. (Shame on me for a month of Sundays.)

Does anyone why Malone seemingly sucked in Montreal? In 1921-22, with Hamilton, he scored 24 goals in 24 games.

Then, his two seasons with Montreal, 1 goal and 1 assist in 30 games....

By the way, we should turn this into a thread of occasions when a 'first' and 'last' co-occured in the same game.

I'll start: I realized a few years ago that the first NHL game I ever attended featured the final NHL point by Ron Duguay's hair.
