Best Player in NHL History - Joseph Henri Maurice “The Rocket” Richard
First to score 50 goals in a season (in a 50 game season no less). First to score 500 goals in a career. His first few seasons, he was considered a lemon that would never make it in the league, then he became “hockey’s Babe Ruth.” He was Hockey’s first celebrity player, making Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, and Alex Ovechkin all possible.
Here are some more stats:
If you want to learn more about Richard, I highly recommend the movie “The Rocket” that came out four years ago.
Tomorrow … Worst of the NHL
Two Games Remaining …
Sorry for the long gap in posting, but parenting has taken up a lot of my time. This miserable wretch of a season is coming to a close, so too must my boycott. I will resume my schedule for one final week then begin posting about the playoffs next week in a more free flow form. So without further ado:
Best of the NHL: Best Coach Ever: Scotty Bowman
Over the many weeks that I have posted, I kept my best and worst of the NHLs to the teams, describing arenas, jerseys, franchises, cities, fan bases and the like. And when I wasn’t looking critically at the teams, I was looking at the NHL itself. If not for my month long absence, this entry would have come sooner and been followed by best trades, best FA signings, and the like. But, instead, you’ll have this one.
William Scott “Scotty” Bowman is by far the best coach ever to walk the bench of an NHL arena. His record 1,244 wins in a regular season justify this alone, let alone his 9 Stanley Cups as a coach. He’s won all over the league, and been a standard of excellence through four decades in the hot seat. Here is just a small collection of his awesomeness:
For this and many other reasons, Scotty Bowman is simply the best.
Tomorrow … Best of the NHL - Best Player Ever
If there had been no lockout
We through two weeks of the NHL Playoffs, most likely finishing up the first round, whittling down the field of 16 to eight teams moving on to the Semi Finals.
Four Games Remaining …
