So, here you go: from Jean Béliveau, the only rookie to be the nhl’s highest-paid player, to Andy Bathgate, the first pro to use a curved stick, to Kelly Hrudey, the first goalie to wear a helmet cam, to King Clancy, the last big leaguer to play every position in one game. [...] Toronto Arenas, January 5, 1918 After the Wanderers’ arena burned down January 2 and the club folded, the league awarded forfeit wins to the Wanderers’ next two opponents: the Toronto Arenas and the Montreal Canadiens. [...] The fire marshal ordered the Forum cleared, and the game was sus- pended; Campbell ruled the game forfeited and awarded the win to the Red Wings. [...] The Saskatoon couple surprised their son by secretly arriving on Gordie Howe Night in the back seat of a new station wagon, which was wrapped in cellophane and wheeled on to the ice at the Detroit Olympia between the first and second periods of a game against Boston. [...] The visiting team was the Chicago Blackhawks, the same club that Toronto met in the first game played at the Gardens in 1931.
