Did You Know This About the NHL
Posted by admin | Under Sports Trivia Friday Jul 24, 2009In a December 8, 1987 game against the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia’s goalie Ron Hextall, took a shot with 1:12 left in the game after Boston, who trailed 4-2, had pulled their goalie. The shot traveled the distance of the rink and went in making Hextall the first NHL goalie to score a goal.
Boston Bruin great Phil Esposito was the first to score over 70 goals in a season with his 76 goals in the 1970/1971 season.
The Toronto Maple Leafs were the first to win the NHL Stanley Cup Championship 3 times in a row. They did this in 1946–47 (defeating the Montreal Canadiens), in 1947–48 (defeating the Detroit Red Wings, and in 1948–49 (again defeating the Detroit Red Wings).
