Obscure hockey facts/stats (Part 2)

[pnep]

Pat Quinn played in 11 NHL playoff games, and was never on the winning side in a single one of them.

I say this a lot, but... That's gotta be a record, right?

In fact, I bet the player with the next highest number is not even that close. Probably 6, maybe 7.

@pnep? Players with most career playoff games without a win?

Jesus Christ...

Jesus Christ...

Poor guy was actually part of a few teams that won playoff rounds, but only iced in what would be losses. With a regular role on the roster, his teams were swept repeatedly. Incredible record.

I’m curious as to who had the most playoff losses before their first win?

Has someone been swept five times in a row before squeaking out a win?

 

[reckoning]

I thought Bill Derlago's 1-12 record was bad. But 0-17??

Teams that got swept two years in a row are rare, but even 2 straight 4 game losses isn't halfway to 17.

On the topic of players having bad luck with playoff win-loss records, starting with the 1979 QF against Montreal to the end of his career, Darryl Sittler was 1-21.

I read today that Ken Dryden, in the third-to-last game of his NHL career, became the first goaltender to record a point in the Stanley Cup Finals in NHL history.

Lemaire (Shutt, Dryden).

Does anybody know if this is accurate?

Yes. Only others to do it are Casey, Vernon, Brodeur, Giguere, Osgood and Kuemper. All after Dryden.

Thanks. I was a bit surprised it hadn't happened before '79.

Tony Esposito lost 16 straight playoff games from 1975-1980. Wasn't at the start of his career but notable for a goalie of his quality.
