Incredible. No helmets, no visors. Wooden sticks.

Thanks for the fun. Rest in Peace.

G_d, do I remember that “too many men on the ice” call that led to the power play goal that tied up the game, allowing the Canadians to win it in OT.

As for goalies wearing masks, I went to a Bruins-Northstars game in 1971, when the Bruins were at their peak, where the Northstars jumped to a 4-0 lead on lousy goaltending by Cheevers. In the opposite end was Gump Worsely, no mask. The Bruins clawed back to a 4-4 tie, with 69 shots on net. Worsely was one of the last, but not the very last, goalies to play without a mask.

NHL Classic 1974 Stanley Cup Finals - Game 6 - Bruins @ Flyers

Memories, how sweet they are. Fast forward to 32m in the video to see Gilbert’s finest moment.

As someone who was a Bruins fan, I have to say that he was great. Prayers to his family and Rest in Peace.

Another thing about the old athletes, we didn't know their politics or anything controversial!

I was at that game.
