Today, we promised the hockey fans in the group a day. We travel back to December 23, 1967 when the Portland Buckaroos were quite unwelcoming to the San Diego Gulls, in taking a 13-1 win from the Gulls.
From there we go to December 23, 1978 when the New York Islanders Bryan Trottier had 5 goals and 3 assists. Trottier had a hat trick and 6 points during the second period of the Islanders win over their crosstown rivals the Rangers.
Exactly 7 years later in 1985 the Rangers observed the anniversary by taking it out on the Detroit red Wings taking a 10-2 victory their visitors.
On December 23, 1990 the Buffalo Sabres thought they had issued a bad beating to the Quebec Nordiques when they beat their visitors by a 10-3 score. However, the Richmond Renegades of the East Coast Hockey League put their mark in the league recordbook with a 15-5 beating of the Erie Panthers.
Finally, on December 23, 2000 at the Britt Brown Arena in Wichita, Kansas, the Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League stormed on to a 12-0 win over the Border City Bandits. In Fayetteville, North Carolina at the Crown Coliseum the Memphis RiverKings made themselves at home with an 11-5 win over the Fayetteville Force.
Tomorrow we will start a two look at two legendary football games. Meanwhile sports fans take a look at Jayson Starks column at ESPN.com. Stark takes his end of the year look at the strangest events in baseball during the 2010 season, I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend my readers leave comments or write me at sabrkev@gmail.com.
Have a great day sports fans, may all your teams win today!!
