Happy 78th to Mr. Gordie Howe.
In my opinion, Mr. Hockey is the second best player to ever lace em up. Right behind Robert Gordon Orr, who also had a birthday recently, and right in front of #99. He also has the most Canadian first name of all time. The man’s totals tell it all:
-
1767 GP
-
801 G
-
1049 A
-
1850 PTS
-
1685 PIM
What a career! Happy Birthday to #9 from GoonBlog! Where do we send the shirt, Gordie?

2023-07-13The Future of the Hockey Enforcer
I get this question a lot these days, as friends and relatives are well aware of my proclivity for a good ol' professional on-ice donnybrook. While I have strong opinions as to the best answer - the true future of the NHL hockey enforcer and the fights they once graced fans with - I don't have to like it. And, frankly, I don't.Where Have All the Good Goons Gone?On the ice, are there even any classic goons left? Gone are Shawn Thornton, Trevor Gillies, Brendan Walsh and most of the other Goonblo...

I profile hockey legends, including the most famous goons. My site is new, but I already have Howe, John Ferguson, and Terry O’Reilly profiled with many more to come.
I’d love to hear what you or others think of my site.
