Regarding Lester Patrick, I'm sure many people know this story already...

Quote:
Patrick is famous for an incident which occurred during the Stanley Cup finals of 1928. At the age of 44 years, 3 months, 9 days, while serving as coach and general manager of the Rangers, Patrick inserted himself into the April 8 playoff game to play goal against the Montreal Maroons, when starting goaltender Lorne Chabot suffered an eye injury after being hit by the puck in the second period. This is a record for the oldest goalie to play in the Stanley Cup Finals that still stands today. At the time it was not common for teams to have a backup goaltender, and the opposing team's coach had to allow a substitute goaltender. However the Maroon's manager-coach Eddie Gerard refused to give permission for the Rangers to use Alec Connell, the Ottawa Senator's star netminder who was in the stands, as well as minor-leaguer Hugh McCormick. Odie Cleghorn, the then-coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates, stood in for Patrick as coach for the remainder of the game, and directed the Rangers to check fiercely at mid-ice which limited the Maroon players to long harmless shots. Patrick allowed one goal in helping the Rangers to an overtime victory. For the next three games, the league gave permission for the Rangers to use Joe Miller from the New York Americans in goal. The Rangers went on to win the Stanley Cup.
He was a defenceman for most of his career. I believe that was the only game he ever played goal.

I guess so.... I had no idea I've been doing most of my research for this game at http://www.goaliesarchive.com and that's what seems to be the case. If Puppet were around I bet he could confirm this.

That's correct. Reggie wore #1 for a little bit in Calgary. Maybe part of the first season.

I'd not heard of the Lemelin/Riggin number swap before, but from the pics I'm seeing online it must be so.
