I note that on the SlateOBase, Joe Daley is listed with one game
played for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1967-68, at least in the
scoring totals. He does not show up in the goaltending totals, and
the minutes for Hank Bassen and Les Binkley add up to the 4440
expected for a 74 game season.
I am wondering if he actually appeared for a few minutes in relief
(otherwise uncredited in official stats), or if the 1 GP is an
error.
I saved the image of a scan of a 1967-68 North Stars at Penguins
program that was listed on eBay last November. It isn't the center
line-up page, but is the roster page. It has the players and numbers
listed. Daley is listed (sweater #30) along with Bassen; I am
assuming that Binkley was hurt and Daley had been called up from
Baltimore.
Also listed on the Penguins roster is Wayne Hicks, who was traded
from Philadelphia on February 27, so the only possibility for this
game's date is March 24, 1968 (the Penguins' game #70 of 74).
Just wondering if Joe Daley actually appeared in a game at about this
point in the season, or if he was just a zero hero in 1967-68.
