Towel waving[edit]

Was Neilson the first person to start waving a towel? Was it his action that started the trend of having towels for playoffs? Or was it some other team in another sport? Kaiser Matias 05:43 11 April 2005 (UTC)

HaHa two years later I have a response for you.... Yes! Sorry it took so long.

Street renamed[edit]

When I looked through the article I noticed that the fact Roger Neilson had a street renamed after him in Peterborough, Ontario shortly after his death, has been left out of the article. If there is a reason for this leave it on my talk page, but otherwise it should be included. Xtreme racer 00:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Paper Bag[edit]

I have a dvd of famous HNIC moments, and when Neilson comes out onto the ice there is no paper bag, and supposedly he refused to wear it?

Lemieux 'hit' controversy[edit]

In the second paragraph of this section a “Nelson” is referred to. Is this a separate person or a misspelling of Neilson? 65.129.29.15 (talk) 06:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
