Gallant vs. Hanlon behind the benches -- couple of Red Wings alumni, interestingly.

As for Ovie: "He can hit... He can score... He still has room to add on to that powerful frame..." Such great phrases to hear, 20 years later, and knowing what he became. All that said in the first minute of his career. Amazing.

It only took like 30 rule changes and the removal of defense from the game to finally have someone “break this record” not impressed 😕
