HOCKEY HUM UR The following are condensed excerpts from Bob Duff's "The Odd and the Unusual" in the bestseller Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League (Andrews McMeel Publishing). Los Angeles Kings forward Luc Robitaille was drilled into the net during a scramble in a Vancouver Canucks-Kings game. Instinctively, he quickly turned and drilled the first player he saw with a cross- check. Unfortunately, it was teammate Dave Taylor. As Taylor groggily rose to his feet, seeking revenge, Robitaille, in a state of panic, pointed to nearby Vancouver defenceman Doug Lidster. "It was him," Robitaille told Taylor, who immediately lunged at Lidster. Robitaille waited nearly two years before revealing what had really happened. Giving the red light a workout was never a concern while Hardy Astrom was in goal for Don Cherry's Colorado Rockies in 1979-80. "First practice in Colorado, we were working on breakout drills. I shoot the puck at Hardy from the far blue line, and it goes right through his legs. 'Fluke,' I figure, so I shoot another one. Right through his legs again. 'Next drill,' I said. Actually, Hardy was a nice guy, he just had a weakness with pucks." Overheard: Female Heckler to Ref: "If you were my husband, you gray-haired bum, I'd give you poison." Ref (Loudly): "Lady, if I was your husband, I'd take it."

FEBRUARY ARCHIVES, 2000 February 10, 2000 Pre-War Hockey Issues One of the most fascinating aspects of hockey card collecting falls under the category of "Pre-War" issues. Generally, a Pre-War hockey card dates sometime before World War II, although one can argue that the Topps 1945 set should also be included in this category. Pre-War hockey cards are tough to come by; even advanced collectors don’t get to handle these cards too often unless they specialize in them. And when you get into cost, they are sky high, especially if you are lucky enough to find them in high grades. th century they were often placed in numerical order and wrapped in rubber bands, damaging the first and last cards of the set. You’ll also spend a pretty penny on #20 Art Ross, #43 Cyclone Taylor, and #44 Newsy Lalonde - anywhere from $500 to $1000 or more depending on condition. February 24, 2000

Skates photo Lorne "Chabotsky" Chabot was one of the greatest goaltenders to play the game. He started his hockey career by leading the Port Arthur's to consecutive Allan Cup champioships in 1925 and 1926. He then was signed by Conn Smythe to play for the New York Rangers. As a rookie Chabot won 22 of 36 games he appeared in and had 10 shutouts. He then went on several years later to goaltend the 1931-32 Toronto Maple Leafs to the franchises first ever Stanley Cup victory. Chabot also played for the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks and Montreal Maroons before retiring with the New York Americans in 1937. Chabot averaged 20 wins and 7 shutouts per season (in an era when teams played no more than 48 games in a year). His career GA average was a miniscule 2.04. He also was an NHL All Star and Vezina trophy winner in 1935. His NHL career totals are as follows: 201 wins, 73 shutouts, 2.04 GA everage.

39. Hockey Autographs Online all taped up and his stall cleaned out and put in his hockey bag. What did you givehim a penalty for? demanded Canadiens captain newsy lalonde of referee http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stadium/7384/humour.html

-Hockey Humour Archive- A collection of humourous things that have happened in hockey that used to be listed under the "Hockey Humour" section of the SSIHAN newsletter . For the latest hockey humour story check out the newsletter! Enjoy! At the trade deadline last season the eventual Calder Cup champion Saint John Flames has it in for teammate Rico Fata. While on a roadtrip the guys were getting ready for morning skate when Rico arrived only to see his sticks all taped up and his stall cleaned out and put in his hockey bag. Another player looked solemnly at Fata and uttered, "Im sorry man, you've been traded." After some very emotional goodbyes Rico took off and called a cab; he was told it was only a joke a short time later. The Pittsburgh Penguins' Marc Bergevin is one of the NHL's expert practical jokers. Several years ago after a pratice Bergevin went to his team's snack table, took several doughnuts, and dipped them all in hot stick wax making them look glazed. Teammate Rob DiMaio came by and ate two of them before he realized something was wrong :o) Rob Murray wasn't making his NHL debut when Winnipeg was playing in Detroit on November 19, 1992, but no one bothered to inform Jets teammate Teemu Selanne. When Murray scored, Selanne thinking it was Murray's first NHL goal, fished the puck out of the net and presented it to him. "Teemu skated up and said, 'Congratulations,'" Murray remembered. "I said 'Teemu, I have scored in this league before.'" "Well, I'm not taking the puck back to the referee," answered Selanne.

40. Blooper On Ice newsy once confessed he deliberately scored a goal against his I snapped up the loosepuck, lalonde said later. It was my most embarrassing moment in hockey. . http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Field/8788/blooper.html

Blooper On Ice Newsy Lalonde, one of the greatest of the old Canadiens, made one of the most glaring mistakes in NHL history one night in 1920. He was the goat of the game - but not for long. Overtime would bring forgiveness. Newsy once confessed he deliberately scored a goal against his own team. In retirement, he recalled the embarrassing moment this way. "Lots of players have deflected or kicked a puck into their own team's net and it's always accidental. But I deliberately shot the tying goal past Georges Vezina, my own goaltender, one night in Montreal." Could it be true? How could a player do such a thing? A search through the NHL records brought me back to January 29, 1920, and a game between Montreal and Quebec. Canadiens were leading 3-2 with a couple of minutes left to play in the third period. Joe Malone, the Quebec scoring ace, sifted through and blazed a shot at Vezina, who made a miraculous save. The puck rebounded off the goalie's stick and landed at the feet of Lalonde, who stood directly in front of the Montreal net. "I thought I heard the whistle blow when I snapped up the loose puck," Lalonde said later. "So I relaxed. Then I playfully moved in on Vezina, deked him aside and slipped the puck past him into the net. What a gaffe! There'd been no whistle. I turned around and all the players were staring at me as if I was demented. The astonished goal judge waved his hand in the air, signalling the tying goal and Harvey Pulford, the equally surprised referee, confirmed the decision. Imagine my anguish and the flow of language I used as I chased the referee all the way to center ice, trying to explain myself. But Pulford would not be swayed. He was adamant. The goal would count. It was my most embarrassing moment in hockey."
