Can anyone tell me why Jacques Plante got the start in game 6 of the playoffs in 1971 against the Rangers instead of Bernie Parent? Plante started the first...

Thanks Lloyd, that explains a lot. The New York papers didn't delve into this much and it was hard to know if it was a controversial decision or not at the...

I don't think it was a controversial move at all. The Globe and Mail didn't mention the change at all. No knock on Dorey. Here's the defence the Leafs started...
Lloyd, Your post made me recall another story that shows one way Plante found to create confidence for his young D. I think it was Mike Pelyk that told the...
It sure was controversial to the Leaf players. When we were filming our Leaf Classic Games shows, we aired a number of games from the 1970-71 season and 3 ...
Thanks for the insight, Paul. I've also found the players many times will have a different take on things than what is in the print media. Jay In a message...
Thanks, Lloyd. It's an interesting point about Dorey, especially since he did have such a physical game. Jay In a message dated 8/8/2008 11:57:54 AM Eastern...
For what it's worth, Plante posted the highest single season sv% ever that season. The Leafs were allowing a lot of shots with that young defense, but either...

IIRC, I have a similar copy of THN from about 1969-1970 which had an exclusive cover for the old WHL. This was one of the first copies of THN I ever saw. My...
Frank: Yes, they did. Maybe that's where that old one came from--I don't remember for sure. BTW: John Stott (author of Icemen) never did contact me. Do you...
This interchange reminds that the first time I ever saw the THN was at the first NHL game I ever attended. It was at a Minnesota North Star in Oct 1978. I...

I see that THN is currently working on their annual logo rankings. Does anyone have any results from the OHL for previous years?...
As I was growing up in the 60s, THN always had front paqe news of the IHL until about the time playoffs started in April. Luckily I kept all my issues and have...
I find it curious that the official name of the first edition Portland club was the "Uncle Sams". Every reference that I have seen including Vancouver,...
Anything is possible, but Manager Pete Muldoon wrote stories for the Oregonian (Portland's major paper) and wrote the articles with Uncle Sams in the story and...
