PASabreFan Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I thought I had accidentally discovered the back story of this iconic Eddie Shack photo: Alas, the moment starting at 2:25 of the video is not The Moment. Apparently that's what Shack did — he skated up behind guys and tried jump into, onto or around them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I loved those early years. Those teams were fun. Shack was a good player for us and trading him for Rene Robert was even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABRES 0311 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 That top photo could be a good meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Shack was something else. He was also barely literate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 2 hours ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: Shack was something else. He was also barely literate. A lot of the early players were like that. They left home at an early age and there were few rules and less supervision. And the owners loved it. Made it easy to keep them in line before guys like Ted Lindsay and others came along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Saw him jump out of the penalty box, butt first, in order to stop a break up ice by a forward with a full head of steam! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos1963 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 It would have been nice to see him at Alumni functions over the past couple years. Anyone know why he wasn't around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMarko Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Nope. Not the same. Wrong place on ice. Different jersey on opponent - think that was the NorthStars in the video - not the Seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
