Sounds like something skipper Gimpy would do.

In 2009, Flames coach Mike Keenan accused Vancouver defenseman Willie Mitchell of using an illegally long stick.

The refs confirmed it was legal, but the next time the two teams played Mitchell hit the ice for warmups with two sticks taped together.

"Even at 50 or 51, you didn't want to [tick] Gordie off. One night, I remember, Robbie Ftorek gave it to Mark [Howe] with his stick. Really bad. Next time we play them, two weeks later, they're lining up to take a faceoff. Gordie, of course, just happens to be right beside Ftorek.

Before they can even drop the puck, he wheels around and pitchforks Ftorek in the face. After the game, Don Blackburn, who was our coach -- or maybe it was Harry [Neale] -- says 'Holy crap, Gordie, what was that all about?!' And Gordie says, 'Didn't you see the way he hit Mark two weeks ago?!' "

Mario Lemieux, Stan Smyl and some guy named Michael Jackson, 1984.

Easier to get wins when you don't have ties. 1976 Canadiens only had 8 losses!

Speaking of losses...

That's what I was thinking, looks like 14 less games played too in 76/77. I actually thought that Montreal still held the most wins record. What year did overtime/shootouts start, 90's ?

2005/06. So players like Marc-Andre Fleury played in the NHL before the shootouts.

Ok,so 95/96 Red Wings 62 wins was legit.

Oops,forgot to check for ties for 76/77 Canadiens, they had 12,so the schedule was 80 games even in mid 70's.

Connor McJesus has become the 6th player in NHL history to score 150 points in a season.

Speaking of Jesus...

Jared McCann has 40 goals, 30 assists, and 70 points in 78 games this season. Unfortunately, Benning traded him for Erik Gudbranson.

This must be one of Bennings worst trades.
