Today in Glenn Hall history -- March 23, 1967

Definitely not a night to remember for Mr. Goalie. It was the last game of the 1957-58 season and the Black Hawks had already been eliminated from the playoffs. They must have been comparing Monday morning tee times, because the Boston Bruins blitzed Hall and the Hawks for five first period goals en route to a 7-5 win.


Hall showed no partiality, as seven different Beantowners put the puck behind him. The Hawks clawed back to a 6-4 deficit before Jerry Toppazzini put them out of their misery with a back-breaking goal at 16:43 of the third.

The Black Hawks finished the season at 24-39-7, good for 55 points, fourteen behind fourth-place Boston, but three ahead of last-place Toronto (who finished in the basement for the first time in their existence).

But two seasons later, the Black Hawks -- backstopped by Glenn Hall -- would win the Stanley Cup.
