Hey everyone,
I was about to send some cards down to Bruce Bullock to have signed, when there came some confusion as to which of the following photos actually depict Bruce Bullock. This is complicated by the fact that Bullock wore more different numbers for the Canucks than any other goaltender during his time here.
There is also question as to whether Bullock was a right-catching or a left-catching goalie. NHL.com has him listed as a right-catching goalie, and the colored photo #1 below is drawn from legendsofhockey.net: both reasonably reliable sources I'd think.
However, one of my fellow collectors said that Bullock himself (presumably), actually signed photo #2 (clearly depicting a left-catching goalie).
Who is depicted in each photo?? (I've listed my differential below each one)
#1
This photo above is Bruce Bullock as provided by legendsofhockey.net. It's unclear what number he is wearing, but it looks like 13 or 18; to my knowledge, no Canuck goalie actually wore that number in an actual game.
#2
This photo was apparently signed by Bullock himself for a fellow collector. I suppose if it actually wasn't Bullock, he could have signed it anyway. My differential on this photo would be Dunc Wilson (pre-beard era)
#3
Bruce Bullock on goaliearchives, the only website listing him as a right-catching goalie. My differential: Ken Lockett?
#4
Bruce Bullock as per google images..clearly a right-catching goalie. Clearly wearing 35. In that era, only Ed Dyck, and Curt Ridley ever wore 35 (and they were both left-catching for certain). Richard Brodeur later wore 35 but never in stick-logo uniform. I have no idea who else this could be...except perhaps Ken Ellacott, the only other right-catching goalie I could think of (but his Canucks debut was in 82-83). Could this be pre-season several years earlier? (although there is no evidence of him ever wearing 35)
Any help is greatly appreciated, I hope to get it right!
