Well, it was a real nice Original 6 sweep opportunity we had... once.

Brave thread. I give you that….

Thanks a lot for the jinx, we need this one.

And if they beat Brock Nelson, they can beat somebody who even played during that era

Is it a sweep if we put it this way:

February 22 vs Montreal: 5-2 loss, olé'd out of their own building.

March 5 @ Chicago: 4-3 OT win

March 8 vs N.Y. Rangers: 4-3 OT win

March 2 vs. Detroit: 2-1 win

March 11 @ Philadelphia: 5-2 win

One of the most arbitrary stats I've ever seen

 

[HockeyVirus]

I mean, how many teams a year get the schedule to line up like that ever for them? It's probably a statistical anomaly. Not many attempts, of course the arbitrary stat is long standing.

This might be even better than winning the cup.

Montréal can't afford to lose this one

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

"All original six teams in successive order except for the one team that wasn't original six so it's actually not that!"

The original 6 is at its weakest in decades

"All original six teams in successive order except for the one team that wasn't original six so it's actually not that!"

I’m glad I wasn’t going crazy thinking this. Philly being in the middle of the schedule makes it meaningless. There’s probably a goalie every year who non-consecutively beats all the O6 teams.

"All original six teams in successive order except for the one team that wasn't original six so it's actually not that!"

This record is specifically about Ullmark, who didn't play the Philly game.

OP didn't word the title correctly

It's more of a stat for Ullmark since he didn't play in the Philly game and will be facing the 6 O6 team consecutively. Still lame nonetheless.

If you guys keep getting to rant about Cups 80% of you weren't alive to see, we get this.

Philly game kinda ruins the premise imo
