New York Rangers' Chuck Rayner grabbed the puck

Big, blubbery Billy Nicholson made his Connor Barth Youth Jersey own attempt at immortality in 1904. But, as Nicholson said: "I did go up the ice, got the puck, was in position to score, but I passed to Jack Marshall. That was the closest I ever got to scoring."
The rushing goalie craze settled down somewhat as hockey matured. This is not to say goalies stopped trying to score. In 1921, Hugh Lehman, then a member of the Vancouver Millionaires, baffled the Ottawa Senators in a Cup contest with a fine display of passing. The Senators had never seen anything quite like it. Lehman would often stray 20 feet from his cage to make a pass. In game five, the Montreal Gazette noticed that he "skated out to the blue-line after a loose puck... sent in a shot which went as far as Benedict."
In a game against the Montreal Canadiens in 1947, the New York Rangers' Chuck Rayner grabbed the puck and skated up the ice. Upon meeting an enemy checker, though, "Bonnie Prince Charlie" passed off. Earlier that same year, with the Toronto Maple Leafs' Turk Broda pulled for an extra attacker, Rayner whizzed a hot shot that missed the empty net by a whisper. Rayner did manage to score once, in an exhibition contest. During World War Two, he played with the Victoria Navy. In a pick-up game against a Canadian Army squad, Rayner picked up a rebound in a furious scramble in front of his net. Seeing nothing but open ice before him, Rayner took off. A renowned skater, he moved in http://www.broncosnflofficialonline.com/Tony-Carter-Jersey on goalie Art Jones and slapped the puck home. Although Rayner himself never mentioned it, some newspapers have suggested that he scored another one in 1951. A Toronto Star article held that, late in a game against a team of all-stars from the Maritimes, Rayner skated the length of the ice to score the final goal in a 15-5 victory.
In a 1966-67 game played before a national TV audience, journeyman goalie Gary "Suitcase" Smith replaced Bruce Gamble in the Toronto Maple Leafs net early in the first period. Only minutes after entering the game, Smith was presented an opportunity to Jeremy Maclin Kids Jersey score. He grabbed a shoot-in and took off. Montreal defender J.C. Tremblay played Smith's trek cautiously. As Smith crossed the center red line, he looked down to see if he still had the puck. Suddenly, Tremblay rocked him with a devastating check. This filled Smith's head with little birdies, but no goals. Before Smith could attempt an encore, the league introduced a ban on such forays.
In 1970, Michel Plasse of the Central Hockey League's Kansas City Blues scored to ice a victory over the Oklahoma City Blazers. Thanks to a snowstorm in the area that night, only 850 people witnessed this historic event.
During a 1979 match between Billy Smith's New York Islanders and the Colorado Rockies, a delayed penalty was called against the Isles. A pass by Colorado's Rob Ramage squirted past everyone into the Colorado net and, since Smith was the last http://www.chiefsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Joe-Montana-Jersey New Yorker to touch the puck before the penalty was called, he got credit for the goal.
When Ron Hextall reached the NHL in 1986, he developed a reputation throughout the circuit for everything from his maniacal tantrums to his stickhandling ability. Experts said it was only a matter of time before Hextall scored a goal and they were proven right on December 8, 1987. With a two-goal lead in the game, Hextall decided to let the puck fly at the empty net -- Boston had pulled its goalie -- scoring the first "true" goal by a modern goalie. He went on to add another in the 1988-89 playoffs against the Washington Capitals.
