Gordie Howe's final NHL goal gets a historic change 45 years later
Proponents of video review in hockey argue that they just want to get the call right, no matter how long it takes. Those folks will be happy to know that the NHL's longest scoring review has finally reached a conclusion, and it looks like the league got this one right. It just took 45 years. The review in question was on the final goal — No. 801 — of Gordie Howe's legendary career. Scored on April 9, 1980, for the Hartford Whalers against the Canadiens in the playoffs, Mr. Hockey took a pass from his son, Mark, and beat goaltender Denis Herron to cut Montreal's lead to 8-4. The goal would go down as Howe from Howe. How romantic. Only one problem. The scorer ignored the pass from Whalers goaltender John 'Cheech' Garrett to Mark Howe. 6 Gordie Howe controls the puck before his score. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube Garrett, who would play in 207 NHL games before an illustrious career as a broadcaster for the Canucks, didn't initially launch an appeal to the league, but he's been vocal about getting the assist added to his ledger for nearly half a century. In an interview on Sportsnet's 'After Hours' in 2023, Garrett continued his appeal. 6 Goalie John Garrett didn't credit for an assist for 45 years. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube 6 Moments before Howe scored. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube 'That's a hard pass,' Garrett said in the interview. 'Mark takes it, Mark gives it to Gordie, Gordie scores this beautiful goal. How can I not get an assist on that? I phoned Benny Ercolani — he's now retired, but Benny was the statistician for the league.' Garrett said he didn't complain immediately after the game because of how it would have looked after he conceded eight goals in a loss. But as the years went on, the man known as 'Cheech' used his platform as a broadcaster to raise awareness for his cause. He also had plenty of support from Canucks fans, who launched a social media campaign supporting Garrett's quest back in 2013. 6 John Garrett during a 1982 game. Getty Images All the lobbying has finally paid off. During the second intermission of Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, 'Hockey Night in Canada' broadcaster Ron MacLean announced the league was finally awarding Garrett with an assist on Mr. Hockey's final goal. 'Colin Campbell of the NHL has begged all of you former NHLers, please do not be writing the league looking for credit on an assist,' joked MacLean. 'They are adding one to the record books, and this is a beauty.' 'John Garrett was denied official status for this assist. He moves the puck. In the record books, it just has Howe from Mark. It did not feature Cheech's assist. It will, forevermore.' 6 Gordie Howe #9 and Mark Howe #5 of the Hartford Whalers look on against the Montreal Canadiens.

Oilers Could Lose Glen Gulutzan To Stars Amid Coaching Search
The Edmonton Oilers' deep playoff run could come at a cost behind the bench. Following the Dallas Stars' decision to fire head coach Peter DeBoer, speculation is growing that Edmonton assistant Glen Gulutzan could emerge as a serious candidate for the vacancy. Gulutzan, who previously served as the Stars' head coach from 2011 to 2013, has quietly rebuilt his stock as a potential head coach. Gulutzan's work with superstars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl hasn't gone unnoticed, and while his previous runs as a head coach didn't go quite as well as he might have hoped, he's had time to learn and adjust, and is likely prepared to give it another go. Advertisement 'Gully's been the coach I've worked with the longest throughout my time in the NHL,' McDavid told The Athletic during last year's Stanley Cup Final. 'He's great at what he does. He's a great coach and we're lucky to have him here.' It would be a loss for the Oilers if the Stars decided he is their guy. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Gulutzan is a name to watch in Dallas. On a recent 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman said, 'I wouldn't be surprised if he is part of this process.' He added that Stars GM Jim Nill is keeping his options open and is expected to consider both familiar and unexpected names, including Gulutzan, who was once let go by Nill in Dallas more than a decade ago. Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press also suggested Gulutzan as a logical fit, writing, 'Wonder if Glen Gulutzan gets a look in Dallas. Coached the Stars from 2011-13 and had a stint with the Flames. Now a longtime Oilers assistant who has been a big part of Edmonton's success.' Advertisement While Gulutzan's current commitment to the Oilers may have hindered his ability to interview for jobs earlier this off-season, the timing could now align. With only a few vacancies left — and Dallas being one of the most attractive given their status as a Stanley Cup contender — his name could gain traction quickly.

(Jerome Miron-Imagn Images) 'He deserves another chance,' longtime NHL insider John Shannon noted, expressing surprise that Gulutzan hasn't drawn more attention during this cycle. The Oilers are aware of what they have in Gulutzan. Losing him would be a significant blow to their coaching staff, particularly to a power-play unit that has been the league's gold standard. Perhaps it's not fair to give him all the credit, seeing as that power play is loaded with elite talent that should make any coach look good. Still, there is a skill involved in managing that kind of talent and working to create the best results.

Washington Capitals' Spencer Carbery wins the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year
Spencer Carbery of the Washington Capitals has won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year. The league announced the honor Saturday after members of Carbery's family surprised him with the trophy earlier in the week. Carbery is the first person to be named coach of the year in the NHL, American Hockey League and ECHL. Carbery was a runaway winner of the Jack Adams as voted on by the league's broadcasters, receiving 81 of 103 first-place votes. Winnipeg's Scott Arniel was second and Montreal's Martin St. Louis a distant third. In his second season running an NHL bench, Carbery guided Washington to first place in the Eastern Conference. He helped several players set career highs as the Capitals reached the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 'The best thing indication is a lot of our guys had career years, and I think he's a big part of it: the way he communicates, the way he holds guys accountable, the way he can fit guys into certain roles and use their strengths,' Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said at his end-of-season news conference. "I think the relationship between the players and the coach throughout our lineup was excellent this year.' When he was named a finalist last month, Carbery said it was an organizational award. 'I look at our entire staff and everything that they put in, our players, management to provide the players everything,' Carbery said. "It's for my name to be there as the figurehead of the organization, but I look at that to me that's a team-nominated award of what we've done as a coaching staff, management team, our players, what they've accomplished in the regular season.' Carbery drew praise from counterparts around the league for how he got an aging roster into the postseason in his first season in Washington and took it to another level by transforming the Capitals into one of the league's top teams. "He's turned them into a deep, four-line juggernaut that just wins hockey games,' said Tampa Bay's Jon Cooper, the longest-tenured coach in the league who won the Stanley Cup in 2020 and '21 and has made two other trips to the final. 'They do everything right. There's no egos on the team and he's found a way to coach a Hall of Fame superstar and coach players that are just surviving to be in the lineup every night and he's found a way to make it all work.' ___
