Gilles Villemure's First Start Of The 1970-71 Season : Rangers vs. Maple Leafs 10/17/70

Gilles Villemure, who was my guest on Blueshirt Banter Radio, this past Tuesday is featured in this video, Gilles gets his first start in goal of this season for the Rangers, in this game three of the 1970 season.

Ironically, tending goal for the Leafs that night is Gilles hockey hero. The legendary Jacques Plante

The game features the Rangers firing on all cylinders in every facet of the game dominating the Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens. Rod Gilbert and Brad Park score some nifty goals, even a fight breaks out as Vic Hadfield takes on Jim Harrison is a nice little go.

Also, at the 9:25 minute mark of the video watch the absolutely sick move by the Leafs Mike Walton to avoid a Tim Horton check.


Bill Hewitt and Bob Goldham with the Call.
