How many goals do Bossy, Hull, Howe, and Lafleur, et al score in todays NHL? They look like stick men in the videos. Do Hull and Howe really look like stick men?

The point I'm trying to make is the goaltenders in today's NHL are larger, and have much bulkier equipment. Some of the old highlights of Lafleur scoring goals does give me the impression that they were turned almost sideways facing a shot, as a reactionary goalie did back then. The goalies now are far more structured and positional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also was Coconut Joe's, the Manhatten Club and Stinky's that my faded memory can recall. Yeah, & believe it was on the North side of street. The bar I met Guy was directly across..but I can't recall names of the bars on that side? CoJo's I recall was nutz during the '88 Olympics. Heck, all Electric Ave lived up to it's name. Had some memorable timez there, indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 They fought the same cancer, died a week apart. They always wanted to be part of the same team, but not this one. Rest In Peace, Lafleur and Bossy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
