Thanks for the ping, Airborne!

Condolences to the Howell family. He played way before my time, but it's good to see his number in the rafters at MSG.

He was the last NHL defenseman to win the Norris Trophy before Bobby Orr won it eight straight years.

IIRC, at his acceptance speech, he said something like, “I guess this will be known as the Bobby Orr Trophy for the next twenty years.”
