What's even more impressive about those back to back Vernon Road SO's was that it happened in a super high scoring season in 92-93, and he did it against the Red Wings who were the highest scoring team that year, and NYR, who put up 304 goals.
Upon further inspection, Vernie nearly had 3 Road Shut Outs in a row, as he gave up 1 goal to Ottawa in the game prior to the Detroit SO.
