    The photo from the 50s is better quality than that Iggy photo

  2. Technically Tocchet was in Boston from 95-97, not 96, then was traded to Washington.

    I’m convinced if Jarome Iginla doesn’t nix that trade to Boston in 2013 Boston wins the cup over Chicago that year. Jagr was so ineffectual and Iginla showed the next year the chemistry he had with Krejci and Lucic.

    Also fuck Cedric Paquette for ending Rick Nash’s career

  4. Iggy in Boston is still one of my favorite moments in hockey for me

    Plante and Gionta in Bruins jerseys is just wrong.

  6. picklehaub

    Nash’s Memes/GP run that year is first ballot hall of fame material.

    O comments showing.
    Not just here … all over Reddit.
    I think it’s an “overload” from the big Trump story.
    Anybody else ?

    Felix Potvin’s retirement is hilarious to me. He was offered a contract by several teams but the pads rules had just changed. Felix went “well, I don’t have equipment that meets the rules.” Then just didn’t go get new pads and keep playing.

    Very cool post. I had no idea Coffey played for the Bruins.

    I forgot Potvin was on the Bruins briefly.

    Some others that could be considered unusual:

    Al Iafrate (12 games, 1993-1994)

    Marcus Johansson (10 games, 2018-2019)

    Robert Lang (3 games, 1997-1998)

    Tommy Wingels (18 games, 2017-2018)

    Jagr doesn’t count, what’s rarer is the list of teams he never played for.

    The Plante photo is surprising. I didn’t realise he was playing well into that kickass mask era.

    BTW OP, I normally hate daily themed posts but these have been great. Thanks for your efforts!

    Even playing, Grapes couldn’t keep his yap shut

    I don’t think people don’t remember McSorley on the Bruins for a certain reason.

    Jagr doesn’t look strange in any jersey. You could put a photo of him on a team he didn’t play for and I’d be like “eh……sure, why not?”
