No - like an idiot I used them to play roller hockey - they got pretty torn up. They were top of the line Coopers in Hartford Whaler's colors (He was playing for them at the time). Around South Beach he was also known as "Nicky Puckeye."

One of my favorite brawling teams was the ole Gashouse Gang - St. Louis Blues - The Plager Brothers!!!



Bob Gassoff - I think one of the craziest people to ever play in the NHL!

I certainly would not have played goalie without a face mask, that is just insane.

Face masks came around after the slap shot was invented, for obvious reasons...

I guess up to the 50s the slap shot was discouraged by some really ole time coaches. Geoffrion and Hull really brought it out (especially Hull) and Stan Mikita really added to the melee when he introduced the banana curve. Team mate Bobbie Hull and later Dennis Hull made masks a necessity....

Stan is one hell of a character for sure Joe... Check this shot out...

Its one of the few pics of J. Bob "Battleship" Kelly.... The man was a wrecking crew, and although he spent a very short time in the NHL, he is a legend in the pugilistic annals of history...

In 1974-75, his first full season in Pittsburgh, Battleship Kelly scored 27 goals, collecting 25 the following season... After the 1976-77 season, Kelly was cut loose, and signed with the Chicago Black Hawks as a free agent... He played two seasons with the Hawks, before finishing his professional hockey career with a handful of games in the minors...

He was a goon who could pummel the **** out of u and then score 2 goals.... Tough SOB from Ontario...

I remember him. I always liked the old Pittsburgh Uniforms...

During that period Pittsburgh had a good team. Syl Apps Jr., Ron Stackhouse, Rich Kehoe, Pierre Larouche, Dave Burrows, Jean Pronovost. Despite Stackhouse and Burrows, defensively they sucked and never had good goal tending. I remember the 1975 playoffs when the Islanders beat them...
