Chicago Black Hawks at Toronto Maple Leafs 3/19/1966

A little homage to how the Chicago Blackhawks used to spell their name in the title, and I admit - this is for Roger and any memories he can give us.

Early in the game we have a roughing penalties between Pierre Pilote and Larry Hillman:

Pierre Pilote vs Larry Hillman Mar 19, 1966 -...

Later on, a mess of a fight between Doug Mohns and Kent Douglas. I know some of the younger guys won't get that this is how fighting was - but they were really trying to get at each other. There was no tapping of the head/butt after this was done. No code, nothing. This was hockey in the 1960s.

Pilote wanted no part of Hillman!

Guys would be thrown out of the league for some of what we see here... look at the way the linsman was man handled... too bad it wasn't Kevin Collins taking some shots.

A oft-used phrase, but that truly was 'old time hockey'. A delight to watch, thanks!

Fast-forward some 46 years, the first clip is 5 each for fighting without a doubt. Youre talking a match penalty and suspension for Kent Douglas in that second clip.

VF,

Thanks for the memories, I appreciate your putting these clips up for me and all the old timers to enjoy. Believe me, they do bring back some sweet memories.

Ironically, when this game was played, I was out of the country. I missed almost 5 seasons in the mid to late 60’s. So, seeing some of the fights from games I missed is especially nice.

Pierre Pilote is one of my all time favorite players. I was at the United Center when the number 3 sweater was retired., in honor of Mr. Pilote and Keith Magnuson. Mr. Pilote was there along with the Magnuson family and it was quite a moving experience.

A question for you VF. Are you sure that was Larry Hillman? If I am not mistaken, Mike Walton wore the 16 sweater for Toronto in the mid 60’s to early 70’s. I saw him wear that number in 1969-71 seasons.

Either way, neither Hillman or Walton were known as ferocious fighters. Can’t explain Mr. Pilote’s wanting no part of the fellow in the 16 sweater.
