    OHL Hit

    From the very start of the reporting of this play, most of the media has described it in terms of "overage Erie Otter player Michael Liambas" and "16-year-old Kitchener Ranger Ben Fanelli". I picked up the sense that the media was saying the following: an older, more experienced player wouldn't leave himself in a vulnerable position like that. Of all the suspension hearing decisions Mr. Branch has had to deal with, this is one of the toughest.

    Function, first and foremost.

    It is an understatement to say that what Jacques Plante did on that date is one of the defining moments in the history of the League. Plante wasn't the first, nor the last, to use face protection as a goalie. But, long before it became a canvas and art form, he used it because he wanted/had to. It took a while for others to follow, but they did. A great article in yesterday's Toronto Star gives the complete story, telling why Andy Bathgate did what he did, along with why Clint Benedict, Elizabeth Graham, Gene Long and Don Spencer are also part of the history of the mask, leading up to Plante using it in a game.

    RIP Pete Cusimano

    Taken from a photocopy of the column "Fair Game", by Paul Chandler, Detroit News, Wednesday, April 16, 1952. Thank you, Mr. Peter S. Cusimano. You, and your family, will always be part of the history of the Detroit Red Wing Hockey Club.

    I was hoping this was online; it aired prior to the Toronto - Montreal game last night. I didn't know that Doug Favell (one half of one of the greatest Memorial Cup Champion goaltending tandems ever) held such an important role in the history of masks: HNIC - Inside Hockey.

    If there was no NHLPA, would the players play?

    From TSN : Being the head of the NHLPA is like being the drummer of Spinal Tap.

    Worst Start of the Season since 93-94?

    I think that should be "worst start since 2003-04" (5W-5L-1T then). It could be worse.
