meow's thread of random hockey facts

Fact: Jared is the best one. You just wait.

[meow]

Jared stinks and you know it.

[mikey287]

Yeah, stinks like a fox. He's got Eric's offensive skill, Jordan's defensive prowess and he does it with one eye tied behind his back like Marc...he also can throw lightning bolts at his enemies...modern power forward...

Who won the 1971-72 Stanley Cup?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

^

With the 121st pick, the Cryers took Rick Tocchet in the 6th round.

and

Montreal took a 31 year old Vladislav Tretiak in the 7th round.

Dominik Hasek taken towards the end of round 10.

Yeah but he has the same amount of Cups as Craig Adams so he couldn't have been very good...

[Idoit40fans]

Ehhh...b's or canadians. I think they were right before the flyers but if they were i dont know the order.

@tomhanks 4m
The late Carol Vadnais made me a hockey fan in Oakland '68-'69. Name on the Stanley Cup twice,not w the Seals. Thank you and goodbye. Hanx.

[mikey287]

Vadnais was an interesting player, a lot of gusto offensively...moved from forward to defense and back again...he used to skate with the puck and send this long, high lob on net from distance...trying to catch goalies napping or getting it lost in the audience or the case of the old Spectrum in Philadelphia - getting it lost in the sun that shone in through the windows there...

Sum up Carol Vadnais in one word: panache.

OK Daryl Reaugh.

[meow]

J.S Giguere uses a straw to drink from his water bottle because he takes too much air into his stomach otherwise, which increases his dehydration rate. He also sweats excessively during a game as a side effect of this condition. He sweats so profusely that he drills holes in the bottom of his cowlings to allow the sweat to drain instead of pooling in his boot.

This might be hard to beat.

Bobby Orr has three nipples.

[mikey287]

Insert any Gilles Gratton story here.

[meow]

He earned the nickname Grattoonie the Loonie, that's for sure.

Phil Esposito was the first player to record 100 points in a NHL season in 1968-69.

Mike Vernon has only 1 testicle due to a slapshot that cracked his cup and shattered a testy. Fact?

(This has been 'a fact' for many years now with hockey friends. Al Iafrate was the shooter.)

[dodint]

Craig MacTavish, the last player to not wear a helmet in the NHL, is the current GM of the Edmonton Oilers, who are awful. The fact being Craig MacTavish has a pattern of stubborn, poor decision making.

I thought that was Al MacInnis that did it, or did Al do damage to another goaltender?

[meow]

Goalie cups break at an alarmingly high rate.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

so now we know why Fleury is a headcase

Fact, then?

It would be so painfully cool if validated. I would have new found respect for Vernon, that's for sure.

I do not believe this is true.
