1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: BOS at QUE (11-7-1981)

7 November 1981: The Boston Bruins dominated the special-teams game and rode that dominance to an impressive victory over the Nordiques at the Quebec Coliseum. The clubs didn’t wait long to start mixing things up, as Norman Rochefort took a penalty just sixteen seconds into the game, and the Bs didn’t wait long to take advantage - Barry Pederson directed Rick Middleton’s pass home just before the game reached the one-minute mark and Quebec was already on the back foot. Boston lost a bit of discipline late in what was a tight-checking opening period, taking three minor penalties in the second half of the frame. But this not only didn’t hurt them, Middleton scored a shortie on the middle infraction and the visitors took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.

1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: WPG at VAN (11-8-1981)

8 November 1981: Winnipeg scored on its first four shots of the game to run Glen Hanlon right out of the Pacific Coliseum, and then cruised to an easy win. You knew it was going to be a bad night for the Canucks when the opening face-off was controlled by the Jets and Tim Watters sent Paul McLean streaking into the offensive zone to wrist one under the arm of Hanlon only THIRTEEN seconds into game. You knew it was going to be a REALLY bad night when Winnipeg again controlled the ensuing puck drop, took it back into the attacking third, and played tic-tac-toe Dave Christian-to-Dave Babych-to-Morris Luckowich for a second goal with less then forty total seconds elapsed. Vancouver were shell-shocked and, while they held it together and gradually began to have more possessional play than the visitors, Norm DuPont scored on WPG's next shot at 7:06, and then Dale Hawerchuck on their fourth at 11:09. Hanlon’s sudden bout of PTSD only lasted another two minutes - when Thomas Steen scored the fifth Jets goal on their eighth shot, Roger Neilson played the mercy card and brought Richard Brodeur on for Hanlon (and his 0.375 save percentage).

2025 CFL Co-Op Replay: Week 2, BC at WPG

In a display that probably set football back twenty years, the Lions and Bombers combined to fumble six times, punt eighteen times and score a grand total of one touchdown as BC defeated short-handed Winnipeg at Princess Auto Stadium. The Bombers, missing starting QB Zach Collaros to a one-game suspension for an off-season drug testing issue, out gained British Columbia but were ineffective in scoring areas and paid the price for two missed field goals by Sergio Castillo. The Lions did barely enough to win, getting the one big strike required to score the game’s only major early in the second quarter and then holding on as Winnipeg stalled out three times in Lion territory in the fourth quarter.
