In my years with project, I have written numerous articles, of which many have been featured in the ] section, or listed as a ], ], or ]. Here are some of my favourites, in no particular order: |
|
|
|
|
|
*There have been eleven ''']'''. ] was credited with the first such goal in 1979 after an opponent's own goal, but ] scored two in the 1980s by shooting the puck into the net. ] has also two goals to his name, and like Hextall, one in the regular season and the other in the playoffs. |
|
|
*''']''' was a goaltender who played most of his career for the ]. He retired with 81 shutouts, presently sixth on the all-time list. He was one of the first goaltenders to catch the puck to make a save, and was the first to make an assist by intentionally passing the puck. |
|
|
*''']''' was a 1954 hurricane that reached ] as a Category 1 storm. It formed east of ], and tracked west, before making a sudden turn north to strike ]. It continued north and reached the ] as a Category 4 hurricane. It kept significant strength as it went towards Canada, catching Torontonians off-guard. The damages caused led to conversion of low-lying areas along Toronto's rivers to be converted into parkland. |
|
|
*Goaltender ''']''' represented Japan at ]. While not much is known about the man, he is noted for wearing a peculiar mask in nets, somewhat similar to what a catcher wears in baseball. |
|
|
*''']''' is perhaps most famous for being the creator of the ], in 1959. While he was not the first one to wear one in the NHL (] was), it was because of Plante that its use became accepted. He is also remembered for his ]s that he had knitted and worn before the joining the Canadiens, as well as playing the puck outside his crease. He won six ]s, a record seven ], given to the best goaltender, and one ], given to the league's Most Valuable Player. |
|
|
*''']''' played goal for the ] in the early 1900s. He stood out with how he guarded his crease, literally: he was liberal in using his goalstick to slash his opponent's ankles, and he used ] during games, expectorating at players during scrums. Moran was reputed to wear oversize sweaters, which he used to catch pucks. |
|
|
*''']''' was a coach of the ] in the late 1920s, who allegedly ] the team to never finish first, when he was fired in 1927 by ], the owner. A fierce American patriot, McLaughlin ordered an "]" for ]; it won only 14 out of the 48 games, but proceeded to win the franchise's second Stanley Cup on the strength of the goaltending of ''']'''. The Curse of Muldoon held until 1967, when the Black Hawks finally finished first in the league standings. |
|
|
*''']''' played in nets for a Smiths Falls, Ontario, senior hockey club that was allowed to challenge the ] for the Stanley Cup. While LeSueur's team lost both games of the match, by a combined score of 14–7, the Silver Seven were so impressed by his play that they immediately signed him to play for them, and he appeared for Ottawa in a challenge game nine days later after his Smiths Falls team was defeated. |

There is a longer list at ], but I have the feeling it's not entirely inclusive. |
