Today, hockey history.
46 years ago today, the flower, the original flower, Guy Lafleur,
Got a pair of goals in the Habs' 7-2 win over Detroit to become the first NHL player to score 50 goals in six straight seasons, breaking Phyllis Bozzito's record.
And, of course, today in hockey history, we got to mention every week, on the very same day, Wayne Gretzky, Wayne O, became the first NHL teenager to score 50 goals in a season.
Talking about teenagers setting records.
His first of nine seasons with 50-plus goals.
I like these little history things.
Nine seasons at 50 plus.
That's a great one.
I feel like you set me up to say this that way because, you know, can't hear Gretzky 50 and 39 without bringing up Cam Neely 50 and 44 on one leg.
Yep.
Or Adam Oates being the best passer ever.
I mean, some say that and that's not a hill I'm going to get killed on because...
Actually, I might.
I might die on that hill.
But again, I'll die.
I died on the inside the last time.
Now I'll die on the outside.
Uh, I like Twitter, social media.
We know how much of a cesspool the internet's been lately, but every once in a while, something nice comes up.
