Via Spector’s Hockey’s Lyle Richardson on Twitter, Vintage Hockey Showcase notes that today is a “terribly” important day:
Happy birthday to the late HHOFer Ted "Terrible Ted" Lindsay who was born ON THIS DAY in hockey history (July 29, 1925):

Ted is also terribly missed. He was a Red Wings legend, he helped establish the NHLPA…
On what would have been Ted Lindsay’s 99th birthday, we honour and remember the man who embodied passion and perseverance.
