My favourite, to really test die hard hockey fans.

Which future Hall of Fame goaltender proved to be the difference the first time Calgary faced the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Final?

Answer: Georges Vezina, who gave up just one goal in the 1924 Finals as the Canadiens defeated the Tigers in two games.
