My celebration of legendary NHL and NHLPA pioneer Ted Lindsay, on the 100th anniversary of his July 29, 1925 birth: www.nhl.com/news/ted-lin...

When a typist happens upon a legend in the dairy aisle: it was wonderful this afternoon seeing my old friend Dick Irvin Jr., still motoring at age 93. Happiness and good health always to one of the absolute greats – a broadcast icon, prolific hockey author and an encyclopedia of the game.

AI Overview tells me that the late, legendary Gump Worsley was born on this July 22 in 1929. That intelligence is indeed artificial. In fact, the Gumper was born on May 14, 1929, but I never need an excuse to post a photo of one of the great characters of his time or any other.

Two portraits I took of Ted Lindsay over breakfast in his Las Vegas hotel suite eight years ago this June 21 in 2017, and two photos of the Ted Lindsay Award which I shot last November. Legendary “Terrible Ted” was a fearless giant in the game whose impact off the ice was even greater.

The history of the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded since 1965 to the Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP, is rich and colourful; over six decades, one of the most beautiful trophies in hockey's showcase has lived a full life. I've done some research and barely scratched the surface: www.nhl.com/news/sam-ben...

Credit late Detroit Red Wings/NHLPA legend Ted Lindsay for what you saw on Florida ice last night. It was Ted, in the 1950s, who began the tradition of skating the Stanley Cup around the ice to share it with the crowd; he always maintained that he played for the fans, not an owner or management.

On this June 11 in 2017: a shot I took of the Stanley Cup a few minutes before its presentation at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and his dad, Troy, happily posing for me postgame.
