Thanks for these, especially the pre 70's. Sawchuck's gear look well broken in, or well past it.

Awesome, the old Guy remembers these guys, and while I wasn't around then I read a lot of books during my youth so the names are familiar to me as well. The only thing we have in common is sports otherwise it is a quiet and sometimes awkward day.

One of the greatest - if not THE greatest thing about sports - is how it can and often does bring people together.

Especially fathers and sons.

Hey Tarantula, this is for you and your dad. Pre 70's high quality pics. Original six, the golden age of hockey.

I don't know what it is about that era, but they players, with a few exceptions, all look so old. It looks like guys in their 40's and 50's, not guys in their 20's.

[SealsFan]

Yeah, those pre-70's pictures... that's what I was looking at as a kid in absolute fascination... the lighting, the expressions, the equipment all combined to give a mystical quality... I'd look at those pics and think, "I HAVE to do this, I have to learn to skate and play this incredible game..."

Everybody smoked back then. Even if you didn't smoke, the second hand smoke gave you at least a half pack a day habit.

 

[SealsFan]

I love how Smith and Orr are back deep helping out and positioning themselves between the goalie and the two attackers.

That's absolutely fantastic. Do you know who the artist is?


Edited: Does it say "John Little" or similar, as the bottom?

Don Cherry (Americans) in front of Rochester goalkeeper Bobby Perreault....

Best ever goalie out of Guelph? Bruce Gamble with Providence Reds.... 1959'ish..

This is a good question Ferris.

We know old time Baseball players looked older because of the sun - no night games, smaller brims, no sunscreen, no sunglasses so they squinted a lot.

My guesses on hockey's golden age?

-They may have been on average older.
-Plastic surgery wasn't available for cuts or broken facial bones.
-Dentistry wasn't the same.
-They had no facial protection as kids and junior players, so they came in to the league already suffering cuts/scarring, loss of teeth, etc.

EDIT: Danny Gallivan makes a good point about most of them smoking back then also...

I mean I'm taking an educated guess, and there may be things I'm missing. When I started playing junior in the early 70's we only had to wear a helmet and an interior mouth guard, and that didn't change until the mid 70's... So go back 20 years or more and I doubt they even wore helmets..

 

[Robert Gordon Orr]

January 7, 1941 – Good old hockey scrap – Goalies Sam Lopresti (Chicago) and Dave Kerr (NY Rangers) are spectators to the action. Art Coulter (# 2) on top of Joe Cooper. Muzz Patrick is having words with John Mariucci (# 11), while referee Bill Stewart (grandfather of Paul) is trying to calm things down.
An opportunistic photographer is not missing his chance to get a great shot

1949/50 – Frank Brimsek making a save on a Rocket Richard shot as Elmer Lach (A) is following the action

1963/64 – L to R – Bobby Rousseau (# 15) - Charlie Hodge (# 1) – Stan Mikita (# 21) – Jean-Claude Tremblay (# 3) – Jacques Laperriere (# 2)

1960s - Henri Richard (# 16) bulging the twine in the top corner behind Johnny Bower

1972-74 – California showdown between the Seals and the Kings. L to R - Neil Komadoski (# 23) – Stan Gilbertson (# 10) – Larry Brown (# 3) - Rogie Vachon (# 30) and Ivan Boldirev (# 9). Gilbertson who by the way had one leg amputated after a car crash in 1977, ending his playing career

1970s – Chicago’s Billy Reay behind the bench, gangsta’ style

May 1986 – Four time Selke winner Bob Gainey (# 23) defending behind Patrick Roy, as John Tonelli (# 27) tries to score

April 30, 1994 - Pavel Bure (# 10) scoring in double OT in game 7 against Mike Vernon (# 30)

May 13, 2004 - Mark Recchi (# 8) jumping off the boards to advance the puck



February 28, 2010 – Sidney Crosby skating with the Canadian flag. Seen before but worth posting again

 

[FerrisRox]

1980s – Four time Selke winner Bob Gainey (# 23) defending

This is from the 1986 Stanley Cup Final. That's Patrick Roy on the ice stacking the pads to make the save and John Tonelli from the Flames taking the shot.

 

[Tarantula]

Awesome!!

 

[Chief Nine]

Everybody smoked back then. Even if you didn't smoke, the second hand smoke gave you at least a half pack a day habit.

If you went to a game back then in the old Boston Garden, that was at least worth smoking half a deck of smokes and a few Muriels, White Owls, and Phillie stogies thrown in for good measure

 

[a79krgm]

1977-78 Barons. Listed clockwise: Gary Edwards, Gilles Meloche, Denis Maruk, Dave Gardner and Al MacAdam. All but Gardner suited up for the North Stars the following season as a result of the historic Minnesota-Cleveland merger.
