Hockey question

[maximus]

Heres a question I hope one of you hockey gurus can answer:

Whos missing body was thought to jinx the Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup chances in the 1960s? The Leafs won the cup the year his body was found.

[Ben]

Wasn't that Bill Barilko? Went missing in 51. And it was 11 years till Totonto would win the cup again (62)

I have a hockey question as well...so isntead of starting new thread adding in here...

back in the 80s i believe or early 90s, who was the goalie who got his throat cut open by a skate?? i saw the clip of it back in grade 7 or 8 when they were talkin about players wearing neck guards, etc... just wondering if anyone know who that was, and what happend..

[aftermarket]

Clint Malarchuk...Buffalo Sabres, cut his jugular, was within minutes of dying right on the ice.

thanks, i remember just seeing the blood poor out, and parametics open the door to the zamboni, before the refs even blew the whisle....

he survived tho correct?

[QuasarCav]

Yeah he is alive, after a lot of stitiches. But the other guy is what the T-Hip based the song "50 mission cap" on.

You all know it, like it or not.
