Look this one up Glace when was the last time this happened? I'd guess the Laffs and probably they lost all 3.
Canucks are up 3-1 in their first round series and 3 different goalies have each picked up a win

That would be interesting... The closest I can find is Anaheim back in 2014 when they had 3 goalies with wins, but it was over 2 series. I can find other years where teams used 3 goalies, but so far none where they all picked up a win in the same series. As a totally random stat, in 1963 the YOUNGEST goalie to play in the playoffs was Glenn Hall, and he was 31!

Another side note, the YOUNGEST player on last year's winning cup team was 24!

BTW, Ovi is still 166 goals behind Gretzky...

Guy, drop the whole 166 thing. No one cares about the older generation's B.S. If you want to play that game, let's add the 125 games Ovi missed due to COVID and two lockouts.

One year as a rookie and one in his prime. He would have smashed all the records years ago.

It's 42.

A 28-save shutout in a series-clinching, Game 6 victory.
How about a round of applause for Arturs Silovs!

Just as I thought, nobody giving Canucks much of a chance, even with our new secret weapon. Should be some nice bulletin board material.

It’s fair to say the Canucks haven’t commanded the same level of respect as the Oilers among onlookers in the lead-up to the start of their playoff series, with the vast majority of pundits around the league picking Edmonton to advance.
In an ESPN poll of 24 different analysts, broadcasters, and players published on Sunday, 23 of them — including former Canucks and Oilers captain Mark Messier — picked Edmonton to win the series.

The Athletic‘s Dom Luszczyszyn gave the Canucks a 26 percent chance of winning the series in his own preview on Sunday, calling the Oilers the “heavy favourites” to take the series — most likely in five or six games — against an “overachieving Canucks team that doesn’t appear to have the starpower or depth to match their Alberta rivals.”

Lol, Are you hedging your bets and forfeiting the Florida/Boston series?

Ooooppppsss! guess you can't pick 2 teams from the same series.

[Forrest Gump]

Lol, Dallas's reward for knocking off the Stanley Cup champs is to give them only 1 day off!? Meanwhile NHL gives Canucks more rest and start their series Wednesday. What, is Bettman suddenly a Canucks fan?
