Familiar Faces in Different Places

A Tom's Old Days feature. Unless you're a fan of the team they are pictured with below (and even then), you probably don't think of that team first when you hear their name.

Thanks for your support through the years Tom's Old Days!

Wait...9+21+11 = Brent Gilchrist?

Detroit Olympia. The Old Red Barn. A barn like no other.

1987 Canada Cup. Game 3.

There's some good players out there to start the game.
Jaysus!

Good afternoon.

When Jean Béliveau broke into the league the Habs vs. Red Wings was the fiercest rivalry in hockey. But no one who payed attention to hockey disliked Béliveau, not even his old rivals from Detroit and certainly not Mr. Hockey.

1967 Semi-Finals. Last year of the 'Original 6.'

Jean Béliveau makes a move to get around Earl Ingarfield as Yvan Cournoyer swoopes in for support.

Name a random hockey player from the past. Not a star, but someone you think even the hardcore fan would say, 'Oh yeah, I remember, but haven't thought of them in a while.'

Good Morning.

Good night.

Reggie Leach and Ken Dryden

Derek Sanderson's game face.

Alex Kovalev was one of the most creative players with the puck. Have a look.

(📽️hockeyfights - Thanks Dan!)

Keith Magnuson was a gamer if there ever was one.

My tribute to Bob Cole...

When you see or hear of Murray Bannerman do you also hear Pat Foley's voice. I bet you do if you were a Hawks fans in the 80s.🔊

Good afternoon.

This is the advertising on the boards that I like. The advertising that says, this barn is home to hockey.

The greatest 2 players ever to have played on the same team in a competitive situation were Gretzky & Lemieux. And if you were alive to see it, you'll never forget those 2.5 wks. The most famous goal isn't here. We remember that. But here's some others.

1946 regular season action between the Forever Rivals complete with superb commentary.

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Montreal Canadiens.
