Eddie Shack and Gordie Howe

by Dave
(Toronto)

Eddie Shack was a big player at 6`1" 195lb. and many who played against him knew that when he hit you - it hurt.

Gordie Howe (Mr. Elbows) was a hard hitter also. After Shack and Howe met too many times on the ice with painful results, the two of them made a pact with each other to go easy on one another.
