THAT WAS SOME record New York Rangers established on December 28 when they scored four goals In 2 minutes and 57 seconds, to shatter the former mark of 3 minutes and 52 seconds, set by Detroit Red Wings on January 23, 1944 in Detroit, when the Red Wings trounced the Rangers, 15-0… Dune Fisher started the Rangers on their record-breaking feat when he tallied at 15:48.

The BLACK HORSE “Do You Know”Advisory Panel
Do You know… Why wild geese fly in a V-shaped formation? It is commonly believed that when wild geese or ducks fly in a V-shaped formation it is because this wedge reduces the wind resistance, with the front bird serving to break the wind for the entire flight of birds. This, however, is not the reason for their V-formation. Do You Know… that, actually, a certain amount of wind helps sustain the flight of the birds? Do You Know… that the V-shaped formation is used because it does allow each bird to advance against the wind current… because it allows each bird to avoid the wake of the bird ahead…because it offers the convenience of easily seeing the leader no matter what angle the birds fly at? Do You Know… that occasionally, when a strong…
