zoneranger Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 He has the same nickname as 60's rock and roll singer Freddy Cannon. (I'm sure you all remember him :laugh: ) You might remember him better in a Habs uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I thought that was Bernie Geoffrion, but the Rangers uniform threw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion did indeed spend part of his career as a Ranger--at first I thought he was a different Hab from the same era--but then the Rangers uni threw me off--so I took a break--but with that clue--yeah it's him-I'll agree with sj32 and 49ersfan15 Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

zoneranger Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 One of the first players to use the slap shot as a primary scoring weapon, Geoffrion was a major player on the Montreal Canadiens' formidable power play during the 1950s. Usually a right wing, Geoffrion played the point on the power play because of his blistering shot. Even if it didn't go in the net, it was so hard for a goalie to control that the rebounds often set up easy shots for his teammates.Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon sang the Top 10 hit "Palisades Park", You know..."Last night I took a walk after dark, a swinging place called Pallasides Park..." Groovy! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
