On this day in hockey history

[dash]

1930 - The "Falcons" became the new name for the Detroit hockey team, previously known as the "Cougars". The change came following a poll conducted by Detroit newspapers. Trojans, Wanderers, and Magnetos also made the final four.

1967 - Philadelphia Flyers recorded their first NHL victory in team history, a 2-1 win over the Blues, in St. Louis.

1988 - Vancouver Canucks rookie Trevor Linden scored the first goal of his NHL career in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders, in New York.

he was just on the radio talking about the opening of his latest gym ... good wide ranging interview ... talked about how Mattias Ohlund always thought if he played in the NBA, he could score 10 points per game ... and if he was an NFL running back, if the coaches gave him 10 carries, he was getting at least 30 yards lol

right now MattyO has the knees of an NFL rb

Magnetos?

Thank God....

And I'll never understand why anybody would name their team the "Trojans." Besides the obvious reference to condoms, why take on the name of a people who are only remembered in history for losing a 10-year war to the Greeks?
