HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: Bower and “Gump” Had Much in Common (Part 2 of 2)
Goaltenders Lorne “Gump” Worsley and Johnny Bower had a lot in common.

The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox.

Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
