Jess Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Seravelli has a heckuva hairline and you can tell his skin is still good, but that pure grey certainly makes you guess he's about 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 On this day in 1989, Sergei Mylnikov became the first goaltender from the Soviet Union to play in an NHL game. Mylnikov made 31 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Bruins. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalies too, plus Roy popularized the butterfly which at the time showed 9/10 goals were on the ice so going down ... you'd be sure to get almost all of those. Of course that's ridiculous. Five hole, picking corners, backhands etc aren't predictable. Goalies bloating from 5'7-6'0 to 6'7" (Ben Bishop) ... of course there will be less net too. And reflex's suffer as well. Plus no more leather pads which could gain up to 20lbs in water weight in a game. Sad that we don't get to see the same rebound control that stand-up goalies had. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a few other very good European goalies of his time like Jarmo Myllys and Kari Takko he just didn't really get a foothold in the NHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without the water weight gain, I wonder about the weight difference between the pads now. They are bigger now, but I'd be surprised if they aren't lighter given the improved materials and design over the years. But then, the weight gain in the pads wasn't a big deal... by the time the third period comes around, you almost had to shoot someone to get penalized. Defending the lead was easy back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defending the lead was easy back then They are way lighter. I remember when players started to look like transformers too, back in the early-mid 2000's. The older ones like Shanny just kept using his same leather shoulder pads. McSorely would have looked ridiculous with modern padding - 4 feet wide, he didn't wear much of anything underneath even for his era.

nuckin_futz Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 May 13th 1988, Detroit Coach Jacques Demers said today the Red Wings might still be in the Stanley Cup playoffs if forward Bob Probert had stayed sober. Probert, a recovering alcoholic, was one of six players who the Red Wings said were out drinking in Edmonton, Alberta, well past curfew, on the eve of what Demers called "our biggest game of the season." "Not me," Probert said. "You sure you got the right guy?" The players were found drinking about 2 a.m. Wednesday, three hours past the team's curfew, by assistant coach Colin Campbell and chief scout Neil Smith. Said Demers: "I honestly believe we could have won that game and come back for Game 6 in Detroit. If only it weren't for six idiots." "Bob Probert has been made a hero in Detroit," Demers said. " . . . He doesn't deserve it one bit. But it wasn't just Probert. How about the others? They're all guilty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Oct. 25, 2000, Ray Bourque picked up two assists in the Colorado Avalanche’s 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators. The two assists gave Bourque 1,532 points in his career, which broke Paul Coffey’s record for the most points by a Dman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, it's entirely possible that he did get the wrong guy in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but if 6 guys on that team went out drinking the odds would be astronomical that Probert wasn't one of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
