Today in Glenn Hall history -- Wednesday, March 27, 1963

Chicago jumped out to a 1-0 advantage in their best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series with Detroit by defeating the Red Wings 5-4 at the Chicago Stadium.





Hawk coach Rudy Pilous devised a keen bit of strategy before the game, switching the positions of Eric Nesterenko and Ab McDonald to enable "Elbows" Nesterenko to shadow Detroit's Gordie "Elbows" Howe.

The strategy worked -- Howe was held to only two shots on Glenn Hall for the entire game.
