Hi all, I had a chance to look at the section on Mikita in Dowbiggin's book "The Stick", and in it he interviews journeyman Andy Bathgate (Rangers, Leafs, etc)...
A minor correction, James. Andy Bathgate was hardly a journeyman. In an era dominated by Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard on the right wing, Bathgate still...
Also, Andy Bathgate is in the Hall of Fame, and deservedly so. He was captain of the New York Rangers in the late '50's and early '60's and scored 973 points...

... I have heard the claim, though I couldn't tell you where I read that. I haven't been following this thread, but I seem to recall a player back in the 1930s...

My question is why on earth would anyone want to bring a team to Port Huron? They were dead last in attendance last year in all of minor league hockey. Brian...

Found this in Scott Young's 1966 book, "The Leafs I Knew". It might add a little to the thread about Ed Babiuk, from Wayne Brownhill's post 19412, and the...
How far back does The Hockey News publish every box score for every game? I'm specifically looking throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but I'd like to when they...
I've heard it out of Bathgate's own mouth. ESPN Classic did a profile on Jacques Plante, and Bathgate claims that he created the slapshot, and it was his...
I've been a THN reader since the late 70s. They published box scores, but not every single one of them. They were missing several WHA boxes during the 78-79...
