Game-Winning OT Goal Scorer Jim Peplinski







Very short video clip of Al MacInnis-Ron Sutter altercation
Still getting error messages when trying to embed video,
so including the direct link if it doesn't work on-screen.
Based on the start of the clip, pretty amazing only roughing
penalties were called here

Can't wait for the video highlights of the Penguins game!

Also, come on. Mario was on another level in 88-89. 26 points in 7 games. INSANITY. What a season. Still can't believe he didn't win the Hart that year.

He score the most points that year, but it wasn't even the most PPG he had in a season. In 88/89 he had 199 points in 76 games. In 92/93 he was slightly higher with 160 points in 60 games putting him on pace for 202 points in 76 games.

Mario was another level.

Thanks for posting those game sheets. Really takes me back. What a stacked team - Hrdina opens the season with 14 pts in 8 games and he would end the season on the 4th line. Nice to see the Flyers stats as well - those mid-80s Flyers teams were great.

Default Game 9 - Tuesday, October 25, 1988 - Calary Flames 1 at Pittsburgh Penguins 6

Good News - Video highlights available from this game.
Bad News - Flames fans might not want to see the clip, which includes several goals and Wamsley getting steamrolled.
More Good News - I still can't get video embedding to work, so it's easily avoidable if you keep your itchy fingers away from the external link

----------------

Also, I've still never understood why goals scored at the expiration of a power play don't count as power play goals. In reality, teams only get 1:59 of playing time to score a "power play goal" and the penalized player never returned to the play before the goal was scored.

And, the Dan Frawley anecdote probably only makes sense if you're at least 80 years old.

Yeah, I think he proved himself.

Yeah, that was unbelievable--man against boys. Doing all that against arguably the best d-corp in the league that year too. IMO, Mario's run from 87-88 to 95-96 in the best run in the history of hockey. It's an absolute shame he was hurt/battled illness because I think his all-time numbers would have easily cemented him much closer to 99 when it was all said and done. At 8th place in the all time NHL scoring department he is only 198 points behind now second place (Jagr). You have to figure he'd be up there easily with 2,500 points if he didn't miss parts of 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, most of 1994 and all of 1995.

Also, that 89 Penguins teams has always intrigued me. They were made up of Mario, Coffey, Rob Brown and mostly grinders. The put up a ton of goals but played zero D. They also fought a ton--nearly 2,700 team pims.

This also might have been the best game Steve Guenette's career stopping 43 of 44 shots. As most of us know, Flames picked him up as insurance that season for a 6th round pick.

Rob Brown... He could score... if he was playing with Lemieux. He wasn't really dangerous any other time in the NHL.

They did have Dan Quinn who was a good offensive player.

I looked at that 88/89 team and looked at the careers of some guys in that team. Almost all of them had their best offensive production playing on Lemieux's team. For some of them it was night and day difference.

Mario put up 199 points that year. The only other superstar he had was Coffey.

Gretzky did numbers like that with the likes of Messier, Coffey, Kurri, Anderson, etc. Not trying to diminish Gretzky's achievements, but I truly wonder how much Lemieux could have done with better teammates in that same era, without injuries.

Default Game 10 - Friday, October 28, 1988 - (ot) Washington Capitals 2 at Calgary Flames 2

Scroopy Noopers: thanks for the clear instructions on video embedding help, it will come in handy for the next (game 11) post.

I think I'd feel pretty comfortable entering most games with the Top 4 Defense the Capitals could throw out there.

If it wasn't such a futile exercise I'd remove all my thanks from your posts just so I could thank you again!

I'm loving this thread.

Same--absolutely loving these! The background info and game notes are fantastic insights to the season.

- Safe to say after the 2-1 loss to Vancouver, that may have been the worst stretch this squad played all season.

- Lack of playing time for Lanny must have been frustrating. Was there any friction between him and Crisp? Or did he pretty much know his role at the time?

- Joel Otto had a super slow start to the season. By my count it looks like he has 2 points through 12 games

- One thing that I've always wondered about Jeremy Roenick. Does anyone know why he went the QMJHL route? For being such an advocate for American hockey, I always thought it was interesting that he played Junior in the Q.

Rob Brown was good until his face was destroyed in a bad play - his play never recovered.

Mario’s career without illness and injury - he would have been close to Gretzky’s career numbers IMO.

RE: Rob Brown. When did that facial injury take place? Post '89? Weird career path, as he went from 115 points to pretty much out of the league 3 seasons later.
