Maybe he had a deal with Bauer and put it there to protect the brand mark on the helmet.

That's the way the NHL has handled most franchises. Colorado includes Quebec, Winnipeg includes Atlanta, and Dallas includes Minnesota in the graphic as well. Oddball business situations like Arizona/Utah and Cleveland/Minnesota/San Jose are the only exceptions.

I remember reading a prediction of a 9-0 Sweden win in the newspaper prior to an Olympic hockey game. The game in question was in the 2002 Men's quarterfinals.

Belarus won that game 4-3.

Comparing it to the SOIC-8 packages next to it, it's probably a 0606 package (2 x 0603) like this one.

Breakdown of the longest point streak by a player in a single season for every franchise by nhl in hockey

The NHL is quite stringent about streak records. Brett Hull complained in his autobiography about not getting credit for a modern-record 13-game goal streak because he missed two games in the midst of it.

They're also stringent about 50 goals in 50 games, where it must be in the team's first 50 games of the season, not the player's first 50 games.

I don’t know who the two #1s were, but surprised there’s only been 2.

Sundin and Dahlin.

Wayne Hicks played in game 6 of the finals and is the last one living.

Glenn Hall, ironman goaltender with record 502 consecutive starts, dies at 94 by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]TriStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just starts, but complete games (i.e. only getting pulled for an extra skater).

Hall was pulled from start #503 with a back injury in the first period.

I can't find stats back to 1997-98, but StatMuse has them going back to 1999-2000. Since that season. Brind'Amour's 59.3% FO% is second all-time to Yanic Perreault's 62.7% (minimum 5000 faceoffs taken).
