More NHL opening day

New York Rangers opened their season Saturday, 9 October 2010. Rangers win Derek Stepan (white) has a game to remember in its infancy.
Stephen was the fourth player in NHL history with three goals in his debut. An impressive start to the season at least. Stepan hat trick reminded me of Jets 6 Sanchez Jersey
some of the open season in league history.
1917: The year began in the NHL. The first game was between the Montreal Wanderers and Toronto Arenas 19th December 1917. Wanderers Dave Ritchie scored the first goal 1 minute into the game. The competition, Montreal, 10-9 win, was followed by only 700 spectators. The league had four teams during the season only 22 games long. May have been an inauspicious start, but every league has to start somewhere.
1967: This season, the league doubled, adding six new franchises of the Minnesota North Stars, Seals of California, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues. On 11 October, open the Penguins their season at home against the Montreal Canadiens. In the game room of Jets 6 Sanchez Jersey
the future of Fame Jean Beliveau scored his 400 career goals. While the fans, the team lost 2-1 at home once he witnessed part of the history of the NHL.
1979: Perhaps the best hockey player, who has lived, Wayne Gretzky makes his NHL debut this year. Gretzky played for the Edmonton Oilers folded in 1979, one of four teams that the NHL went to the WHA. The Oilers open the season against the Chicago Blackhawks on 10 October. Gretzky collected his first professional support, with a goal from Kevin Lowe in the first period. If until their third game of the notch his first goal wait. Gretzky NHL would be a lot of records, including career goals and most assists.
1989: The NHL was on the verge of a revolution. In a game between the New Jersey Devils and the Flyers on Oct. 5, played Vyacheslav Slava Fetisov their NHL game in the first place. Although he support for the Devils 6-2, that was not the big story. Fetisov was the star player for the first time allowed to play in the East in the NHL. While some players before Fetisov had gone over and played in the NHL in 1989 was when the massive influx of European stars to begin. In the coming years to change this European player of the game, so it's more finesse and control disk. And many are talented goalkeepers in Europe.
2005: The NHL canceled the 2004-2005 season due to work issues. If the fifth game October 2005, 30 teams took the ice for the first time in the league. The game also had a new look to it. Many changes have enabled by default, that two of the cross section has been approved, the boundary of Dallas Cowboys jersey
the area that the guards are entitled to the disk, which reduces the size of the holders of pills and continue shooting, the relationship after an additional interruption. Most of these changes were made in hopes of scoring more and more what he did. The 2005 season was also marked by the arrival of two new stars Sidney Crosby (notes) and Alexander Ovechkin, who had been helped over 100 stations.
