Are You Ready For A Good Laugh?

One day, prior to a morning practice at Chicago Stadium, Plante complained to anyone who would listen about something he’d discovered, leaving many teammates, including Jean Beliveau, scratching their heads.

"We were at practice and Jacques says to everyone's surprise that the crossbar in Chicago was lower than the rest of the NHL,” recalled Beliveau. “He was talking about a difference of an 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch.”

The strange thing was, Plante had yet to even set foot on the ice that morning. As one can imagine, the netminder earned some suspicious looks from teammates wondering how he had come up with such a notion.

"We asked Jacques how he could tell the crossbar was lower", recalled the longtime Habs captain. “That’s when he just said: ‘When I lean back into my net, it’s always the same.’"

Not wanting to cast doubt upon the goalie's claims, Beliveau and his teammates went about their business at practice. No one dared mention the crossbar. Once the on-ice session was over, however, the players wasted no time checking out the stopper's insistent assertion.

"I have to admit, we were quite skeptical,” admitted Beliveau. “His reasoning didn't seem plausible to us, so we got out a measuring tape, measured it, and guess what? He was absolutely right!"

While the tale fails to recall whether Plante won the game that night, a particular lesson remains: never doubt a goalie’s instincts.

An Irish man and a Leaf Hockey Player were sitting on a bench, in the Park.

A German Shepard crossed their path, and moved on.

The Irish man asked what would be the breed, of the beast.

The Leaf player, with a smile, said a cross between an irish man and a baboon.

The Irish man replied: I thought it resembled the both of us B)
