The Rocket Reaches 500 (Montreal Gazette)

No not Roger Clemens.

It's the original and by my mind the only Rocket - THE Rocket - Maurice Richard.

It was fifty years ago today (October 19, 1957) that the Babe Ruth of hockey scored his 500th career goal.

That occasion and the greatness of Maurice Richard are recalled at Habsinsideout from the Montreal Gazette.
