Bernie Jeffrey on one of the most iconic players ever, to where the famous Montreal Canadians sweater also possessed one of the most memorable nicknames in NHL history.
-
Bernie Geoffrion was very inventive.
-
Let's put it that way.
-
He got this idea of, you know, instead of doing the wrist shot on the backhand shot, I'm gonna wind up and do it golf style.
-
And it worked.
-
It works so well that he continued to develop it in practice, and one day during a practice, one of the French Canadian write his name, Charlie Bois, happen to watch him?
-
And what impressed Charlie Boy was the lack of the park against the stick.
-
And if it missed the net, which it often did to whack against the board, so it was Boom, Boom.
-
Hence he nicknamed him Boom Boom Geoffrion.
-
Boom!
-
Boom's devastating slap shot helped him produced 30 goals on the way to winning the Calder Trophy in the 1951 52 seasons.
-
It was sort of like going from propeller driven planes to jets.
-
That shot had the effect of putting the fear of God in every single opposition goalie.
-
They were intimidated because we're talking about the start of the fifties.
-
Nobody was wearing a mask, and this guy is firing the park.
-
It speeds they never saw before.
-
On top of that, because he had been practicing it so much, it had any accuracy.
-
Bernie really popularized the slap shot and understand that he had just the flat blade stick.
-
He didn't have the big hook that Bobby Holland Stan Makita would have later on.
-
The Wood terrorized goaltenders.
-
But the boomer had a very heavy shot, and the only thing heavier and louder than Boomer shot would have been boomer himself.
-
Jeffrey owns game featured much more than an overpowering shot.
-
His intensity and all out attacking style helped power the Canadians to the Stanley Cup in 1953.
-
He would then when the first of his two art Ross trophies as the league's top scorer.
-
To the dismay of many fans in Montreal, when he overtook the suspended Maurice Rashard in the final games of the 1954 55 seasons, it did eat it the boomer a bit because he felt that he had worked very hard any hat to be in the position to win the scoring championship.
-
he didn't wanna win it that way.
-
With the Rocket sidelined by suspension, the fans ultimately forgave Jeffrey on for upstaging their hero as the Canadians became a dynasty, winning five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956 to 1960.
-
Bernie's hope passion in life more than the average player more than the average star was scoring gold.
-
And he was a superior player on all levels.
-
What better linemates and have John Belliveau, Santa and the best corner man in the league?
-
And bright over said.
-
I mean, that's like a line made in heaven.
-
So if you have a guy like Bella, Bo's arguably the best passer in the history of the game feeding you.
-
Then on top of that, you're playing the point than a power play boy.
-
Oh, boy, you're gonna have a bull.
-
And he did.
-
In 1960 61 Jeffrey on became the second player in NHL history to score 50 goals in a season and captured both the heart and Art Ross trophies.
-
He played the game the way it should be played.
-
He tried.
-
Don't skate job.
-
Thank you, Pat Chau Chiu jokes.
-
Korea, if you score 50 gold in here, you gotta be able to shoot the biscuit.
-
Boom.
-
Boom's number five was retired on the day he died in 2006.
-
His legacy and unforgettable Nick name will live forever.
