Stanley Cup Final Edition – June 12, 2019 NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP FINAL EDITION – JUNE 12, 2019 HISTORY AWAITS IN GAME 7 OF THE 2019 STANLEY CUP FINAL The Stanley Cup will be awarded tonight at TD Garden as the Blues and Bruins lay it all on the line in the first winner-take-all showdown in the Final in eight years - and the first ever in Boston. * Wednesday's showdown will mark 35 years to the day of the last Game 7 of a championship series held in Boston. Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics beat Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1984 NBA Finals on June 12, 1984. * This will be the fifth Game 7 in a championship series between teams based in Boston and St. Louis, and fourth contested in Boston. The Celtics defeated the St. Louis Hawks at Boston Garden in the 1957 and 1960 NBA Finals, while the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in the 1967 World Series and at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis in the 1946 World Series. * In 2002, the St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots met in Super Bowl XXXVI when Adam Vinatieri kicked a last-second 48-yard field goal as the Patriots won their first of six Vince Lombardi Trophies – all with Tom Brady as their quarterback. * This will be the 28th all-time Game 7 for the Bruins - extending their NHL record - and first as hosts in the Stanley Cup Final. Boston owns an all-time record of 15-12 in its 27 previous Game 7s - the most such wins in NHL history - including a 14-8 mark at home. * St. Louis, meanwhile, will contest its 18th all-time Game 7 (9-8) to surpass Pittsburgh and Washington for the most among non-Original Six teams. The Blues also will play their 11th road Game 7 (4-6); only the Maple Leafs (16; 5-11) and Canadiens (12; 6-6) have played more as visitors. * If the Blues win, they will claim the first Stanley Cup in their 52-year history and match the NHL record for road wins in a single postseason. * If the Bruins win, they will move into sole possession of fourth place in NHL history with their seventh Stanley Cup and become the ninth team to overcome a 3-2 series deficit in the Final – a feat last achieved by them in 2011. 2019 BRUINS LOOK TO BUILD OFF 2011 EXPERIENCE Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Krejci and Tuukka Rask all were part of the Bruins’ Game 7 in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, with Marchand and Bergeron each scoring twice in Boston’s 4-0 victory at Vancouver. Only 84 players in NHL history have skated in multiple Game 7s in the Stanley Cup Final. * Chara, who logged 27:12 and a +2 rating in the 2011 finale, is set to become the all-time leader by skating in his 14th career Game 7 on Wednesday. His record-setting appearance would come 16 years and 20 days after his first career Game 7, with Ottawa in the 2003 Conference Finals against New Jersey. * Marchand, who tallied 2-1—3 and a +3 rating in Boston’s Cup-clinching victory in 2011, sits one point shy of matching Red Kelly (2-2—4 in 4 GP) for the most career points in Stanley Cup Final Game 7s. * Marchand and Bergeron - who had 2-0—2 and a +4 rating in 2011 - are among a group of 15 players with multiple career goals in Stanley Cup Final Game 7s. The only player with more than two such goals is Henri Richard, who tallied 3-0—3 in two Game 7s during the Final (winning both). * Additionally, Bergeron can become the first player in NHL history to record multiple game- winning goals in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. WITH THOUSANDS EXPECTED IN ST. LOUIS, BLUES AIM FOR FIRST CUP ON ROAD With an anticipated sell-out crowd at Enterprise Center and even more fans expected for the ‘One Nation Watch Party’ at Busch Stadium - home of the St. Louis Cardinals and site of the 2017 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic - the Blues will aim to win their first Stanley Cup on the road at TD Garden. * St. Louis will match an NHL record by playing its 26th game this postseason. Of the four previous teams to play 26 games in a playoff year, only the 2014 Kings won the Stanley Cup. * A Blues victory would not only end the longest wait in NHL history for a team to win its first Stanley Cup, but would also see the Blues match the single-postseason record for road wins - they are 9-3 as visitors thus far. * The road team has won four of the 16 prior Game 7s in the Stanley Cup Final, including each of the last two (2011 Bruins at VAN, 2009 Penguins at DET, 1971 Canadiens at CHI, 1945 Maple Leafs at DET). TOREY KRUG CLOSING IN ON FRANCHISE LEGENDS After assisting on the Bruins’ opening goal in Game 6, Torey Krug (1-5—6 in 6 GP) now sits two points shy of matching the franchise record for points by a defenseman in a Stanley Cup Final. Franchise legend Bobby Orr is the only Bruins blueliner with more points in the Final, tallying 3-4—7 in 1974 against the Flyers (6 GP) and 4-4—8 in 1972 against the Rangers (6 GP). * Overall, Krug leads the NHL in assists and all defensemen in points during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (2-16—18 in 23 GP). He can become the fourth defenseman in franchise history to reach the 20-point mark in a postseason – a feat that has only been achieved by Ray Bourque (3x), Orr (2x) and Brad Park (1x). O’REILLY, SCHWARTZ AND PIETRANGELO EYE BLUES HISTORY Blues teammates Ryan O’Reilly, Jaden Schwartz and Alex Pietrangelo each are one away from either setting or matching a franchise playoff record. * O’Reilly leads all players with 4-3—7 in the Final, with each of those points coming during his active five-game point streak. He also paces the Blues with 7-14—21 during the 2019 playoffs (25 GP), matching the franchise record for points in a single postseason with his goal in Game 6 while equaling Frank St. Marseille (4-3—7 in 12 GP) for the most career goals and points in the Final for the Blues. * O’Reilly has scored a goal in each of the last three games (4-1—5). Only 13 players in NHL history have posted a goal streak of four or more games in the Stanley Cup Final, including six in the expansion era (since 1967-68). A goal in Game 7 would make O’Reilly the first player with a four-game goal streak in the Final since Wayne Gretzky 34 years ago. * By scoring St. Louis’s first goal in Game 7, O’Reilly would become the third player in NHL history - and first in 53 years - to score his team’s opening goal in four consecutive games during a Stanley Cup Final. Toronto’s Sid Smith did so in 1951 (Games 1-4) followed by Detroit’s Norm Ullman in 1966 (Games 3-6). * Schwartz (12-6—18 in 25 GP) remains one goal shy of tying Brett Hull (1990: 13 G in 12 GP) for the most goals in one playoff year by a Blues player. Vladimir Tarasenko (11-5—16 in 25 GP) enters Game 7 two goals back of matching Hull. * Pietrangelo already holds the single-postseason franchise record for assists (15) and points (17) by a defenseman and can eclipse another Blues benchmark in Game 7. He needs one assist to leapfrog Bernie Federko (1982: 15 in 10 GP) for the most in one playoff year. RASK, BINNINGTON SET FOR ONE MORE HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHUP Boston’s Tuukka Rask and St. Louis’ Jordan Binnington are set to face off in one more head- to-head matchup after each playing in all their team’s games thus far. * Rask, who recorded shutouts in Game 6 of the Second Round (at CBJ) and in Game 4 of the Conference Finals (at CAR), can become the first goaltender in NHL history to record three series-clinching shutouts in one playoff year. He has stopped 95 of 96 shots against in Boston's three series-clinching victories thus far (.990 SV%). * Rask is 3-0 when facing elimination during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, stopping 82 of 86 shots and allowing only four goals against across those three games (1.34 GAA, .953 SV%). * Binnington, who is 9-3 as a visitor this postseason, can become the 14th different rookie in NHL history to earn a Stanley Cup-clinching win. Only three of the previous 13 instances came in Game 7: Frank McCool (1945), Ken Dryden (1971) and Cam Ward (2006). * Binnington owns a career record of 13-2-0 following a loss – including a 7-2 mark in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (1.86 GAA, .933 SV%). Only five goaltenders in NHL history have posted as many wins after defeat within a single postseason. * Binnington, who in Game 5 tied the single-postseason record for overall wins by a rookie goaltender, is seeking to become the first rookie netminder in NHL history to earn all 16 victories for his team in one playoff year.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

    MASCULINITY AND THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE: HOCKEY’S GENDER CONSTRUCTIONS _______________________________________ A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts _______________________________________________________ by JONATHAN MCKAY Dr. Cristian Mislán, Thesis Supervisor DECEMBER 2017 © Copyright by Jonathan McKay 2017 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled: MASCULINITY AND THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE: HOCKEY’S GENDER CONSTRUCTIONS presented by Jonathan McKay, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

  • L'ancien Capitaine Des Canadiens Henri Richard S
    L’ANCIEN CAPITAINE DES CANADIENS HENRI RICHARD S’ÉTEINT À L’ÂGE DE 84 ANS (Montréal, le 6 mars 2020) – C’est avec grande tristesse que le Club de hockey Canadien a appris le décès de son ancien capitaine Henri Richard, survenu plus tôt aujourd’hui à Laval. Il était âgé de 84 ans, lui qui avait célébré son anniversaire le 29 février dernier. Né en 1936 à Montréal, Henri a passé toute sa carrière dans l’uniforme des Canadiens, le seul avec Jean Béliveau à disputer 20 saisons avec le Tricolore. Avant de faire le saut dans la LNH, évoluant au sein de la même équipe que son frère aîné Maurice, Henri s’est illustré avec le National de Montréal, amassant 55 points en 49 matchs en 1951-1952. Il se joint ensuite aux Canadiens Juniors avec qui il remporte le championnat des marqueurs du circuit deux saisons de suite, arborant le chandail numéro 9. C’est en 1955-1956 qu’il amorce son illustre carrière dans la LNH avec les Canadiens, récoltant 40 points, dont 19 buts, en 64 rencontres et gagne la coupe Stanley pour la première fois. Les saisons se succèdent avec les Canadiens et la conquête de la coupe Stanley est au rendez-vous lors de ses cinq premières saisons. Ce faisant, Henri est l’un des 12 joueurs du Tricolore ayant réussi cet exploit de graver son nom cinq saisons consécutives sur le convoité trophée (en compagnie de Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau, Doug Harvey, Bernard Geoffrion, Tom Johnson, Claude Provost, Jean-Guy Talbot, Don Marshall, Bob Turner et son frère Maurice).

  • A Matter of Inches My Last Fight
    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres.
