Canadiens great, Ken Dryen won the Conn Snythe trophy after the Habs won the Cup in 71. Next year he won the Calder as the leagues best rookie.

Wayne Gretzky had a season where he got at least one point in 77 out of 80 games. And another season where he scored at least one point in 72 out of 74 games

Hey man, in my minor hockey days, Cooperalls were all the rage. You weren't in the cool kid club without a pair in the early 80's. That and a pair of Bauer Supreme Custom 100's, and a Cooper XL7 helmet.
Another little known fact, Crow's head antenna from MST3K was a Cooper XL7 mask.

In order to keep them white, they kept painting them, and over the course of the year, they got heavier and heavier.
Needless to say, they weren't a very good hockey team

"It all started in a private jet between Nelson Skalbania and Peter Pocklington, and it was a backgammon game with pretty high stakes as it turns out," said Larry Gordon, who was the Oilers' general manager in 1978. "Peter won that game and there was a wager made, some money exchanged hands and Wayne Gretzky, Eddie Mio and Peter Driscoll ended up in Edmonton Oilers uniforms.

An interesting article about the history between Seattle and the NHL. I didn't know any of this.
I have a hat with that Sen's logo in the OP.

George Hainsworth holds the record for shutouts in one season at 22. Even more impressive is that he did it in only 44 games.
Maurice Richard once scored 5 goals and 3 assists in one game. Earlier that day he helped move his family including a piano!
