millbank Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Toronto Maple Leafs Win Eleventh Stanley Cup Game six , Montreal Canadians- Toronto Maple Leafs Baun, Horton, Shack, Armstrong, Bower, Keon, the big M, Bill Hewitt announcing. Three people have announced Hockey night in Canada, Foster Hewitt, Bill Hewitt, Bob Cole. First hockey game was broadcast via telephone, 1923 by Foster. Notice the players, no helmets, Gump Worsley no mask, notice the lack of big shoulder pads, fans able to see players faces clearly. Wood sticks, Makita at the time one of very few to use curved blade. Very few used slapshot. It was how the game should be played. Interestingly Leafs of this time used tactic that later became knows as the trap. Devils hardly invented it. Still players played the game hard , but with sticks down, hitting hard but with respect for each other.

apuszczalowski Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 thats the closest any leaf is going to be to the cup for a loooooong time. 823166[/snapback] Not necessarily, some might leave the glof course early to watch the parade in Buffalo and try to get close to it then. You know the fans will be doing the same, converting after their season is over and the playoffs start, they'll switch over to the Sabres and act as if they were always a favorite.

Whatcha got that case of beer for?" "Well, I got it for my wife, you see?" answers Dave. "Wow," exclaims Randy, "Great trade."
