STANLEY CUP WILDEST MOMENTS

LONGEST PLAY: On March 24, 1936, the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons played in the most exciting and longest NHL playoff game. The game finished at 2:30 in the morning when the Montreal’s succumbed to the Detroit Red Wings after Mud Bruneteau scored the game's only goal after 116 minutes and 30 seconds of overtime with a final score of 1-0.

WACKIEST MOMENT: (Contenders: Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers) On May 24, 1988, in the 4th game of Stanley Cup Final the lights went out at the Boston Gardens. The Stanley Cup playoff game was cancelled and replayed two nights later in Edmonton. The Oilers had already won the first three games by a composite score of 12-6. It looked like the Oilers would get the chance to celebrate a Cup win away from home after the Game 4. When the series returned to Edmonton, the Oilers beat the Bruins by 6-3.

MOMENT STILL CONSIDERED BEING THE UGLIEST: In a 1976 Stanley Cup playoff game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Schultz led the NHL in penalty minutes for the fourth and final time. His 405 penalty minutes that season made him the only player in NHL history to break the 400-minute mark twice.

RAPIDEST MOMENT: On April 17, 1972. Don Kozak of the Los Angeles Kings set an NHL record for fastest goal from start of playoff game, scoring :06 into the start of a 7-4 win over Boston, in Game 4 of the Quarter-Finals.

FILTHIEST MOMENT:  2000-2001 NHL season turned out to be the best season of Colorado Avalanche Shjon Podein’s career. When the final buzzer declared the end of Game 7, Podein hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup high over his head and kissed it. He was so overjoyed that he wore his sweaty uniform, equipment and skates for more than 25 hours. He even slept with his equipment on. By the time he started smelling so bad that he slept on one side of the bed with his dog in the middle and his wife as far away as possible.
