And NHL.com’s Dave Stubbs posted a fine set of Tweets regarding one Terrible Ted:
Late, legendary Ted Lindsay was born this July 29 in 1925. @DetroitRedWings icon, @NHLPA pioneer. A take-no-prisoners battleship on skates, earning the greatest face in hockey, off the ice Ted was a visionary, giant-hearted humanitarian and philanthropist https://t.co/enhb2VctlP pic.twitter.com/PKCn6ZY6fX— Dave Stubbs 🇨🇦 (@Dave_Stubbs) July 29, 2022
My 2017 Las Vegas breakfast with Ted Lindsay, the last time “Terrible Ted” presented the @NHLPA award named in his honour. His room-service breakfast was granola and honeyed tea. I was crushed; I was sure it would be broken glass and gasoline https://t.co/CdKpAUUdPJ— Dave Stubbs 🇨🇦 (@Dave_Stubbs) July 29, 2022
From 2016: Ted Lindsay’s huge heart and the work that he and his wife, Joanne, were doing on behalf of autism care and research. The important work continues beyond his life with @TedLindsay07 https://t.co/LXHCAgROKO— Dave Stubbs 🇨🇦 (@Dave_Stubbs) July 29, 2022
From 2016, Ted Lindsay unplugged: on his childhood, Stanley Cup. boycotting his own Hall of Fame induction, and the equally strong-willed Rocket Richard, his greatest rival in hockey https://t.co/ka2WEl4dIL— Dave Stubbs 🇨🇦 (@Dave_Stubbs) July 29, 2022
Trailblazer of the original Players’ Association and Hockey Hall of Fame forward, Ted Lindsay, would have been 97 today. He left behind a significant legacy that continues to impact the game of hockey.
Go down memory lane, as told by Ted himself: https://t.co/ueX3Ey1Dza pic.twitter.com/SiezE8vlPG— NHLPA (@NHLPA) July 29, 2022
