On This Day - Dec 7th

[Willie Dog]

1966: Henri Richard of the Canadiens scores his 250th NHL goal in a 6-3 victory against the Maple Leafs at the Forum. He becomes the seventh player in team history, and the second in his family, to reach 250 goals. He and older brother Maurice (544 goals) become the first pair of brothers to get 250 goals each.

From left to right ... Dick Duff, Ron Ellis, Henri Richard, Larry Hillman, Marcel Pronovost, John Bower (?), Ivan Cournoyer (?) ... might need some help on those ...

Cheers.

You are correct, Dis, on everyone but the goalie. That's Terry Sawchuk, #30. Bower never wore a mask...and he was #1.

Bruce Gamble was also on the Leafs at that time...and also wore #30...but no mask.

Here's another pic of Sawchuk as a Leaf.



I enjoy these old pics!

Sure, go after the easy ones. But who's that linesman behind Larry Hillman's elbow?

Thanks CH ... I only realized after you had said it that Johnny Bower never wore a mask ... great photo ...

Cheers.
