1. Vintage (1900-1988) hockey trivia
Two of the greatest players to ever come out of French Canada
were born on the same exact day. Who were they ?
Hint....One played for the Canadiens
2. Unbreakable records........What's yours ?
My vote goes to the NHL having 6 brothers who played in the league.
The Sutters record will never be tied or broken IMO.

2. Sawchuk's shutout mark, , Henri Richard's Cup wins, and Gretzky's career scoring mark
Not sure about my own choice for record most likely to be unbreakable. Six Sutter Brudders is a good choice. Howe's longevity mark might stand forever too. Ninety-two goals looks pretty imposing in the current NHL, but the pendulum could always swing back toward a more freewheelin' offensive game so I can't say that Gretzky's records are entirely safe.
As for an unbreakable record I'll have to go with Glenn Hall's consecutive starts in goal. Ain't never gonna happen again. Hell, they stop the game now if the guy's mask falls off!! Buncha pansies!! Used to be if there wasn't bone poking through the skin, they kept on playing, and sometimes they just tucked the bone back in & kept playing!!
The way Brodeur is playing, he may actually get close to Sawchuk's shutout record! If they acknowledge the fact that the WHA was a real league, then I think Bobby Hull has more goals than Gretzky (certainly not more points!). 11 cup wins will probably never happen again either in this era of relative parity.

I think Sawchuk's shutout mark is going down. Unless Brodeur gets hurt or we have a real surge in scoring it will be in doubt
I agree i cant see anyone having 11 Cup Wins or beating Gretzky's point record
Glenn Hall's 502 Consecutive goalie games (without a mask as well) will never be beaten
If you ever have a chance to meet Glenn Hall ask him if he ever got his barn painted. Every year he hated training camp so he would hold out saying he wasnt sure if was going to play this year and say he had to paint his barn.
The people on this board really know their hockey.
Agreed about the 11 cups by Henri Richard.
I think the one record we are forgetting is
the Philadelphia Flyers unbeaten streak in 1979-80.
Was it 35 games in a row without a loss ?
Who could ever do that nowadays ?
Keep the awesome ubreakables coming.
most goals scored by a team ? 16 by montreal!
the flyers unbeaten streak was 35 games.btw pittsburgh owns the longest win streak at 17. that seems like tough to duplicate?
doug jarvis has the iron man record at 964 consecutive games played. steve larmer would probably have beat it if it wasn't for his holdout.
gretzky's 92 goals will be broke maybe not in my lifetime but i would say someone will get hot! hull almost did it with 86 not too long ago.
a guy like bure with speed,hands and a wicked shot could do it but there is that desire thing!

The year Gretzky scored 92 he really slumped down the stretch that year. I remember being disappointed that he didnt get 100

Rob...
A couple of different records I like are most assists by a goaltender in one season - Grant Fuhr 14
Most shots on goal in one season - Phil Esposito 550
And one I am not certain about but Bobby Orr had a +/- one season of over 100. That would be an awfully difficult record to break.
Bobby Orr had a +/-
of over 100 one season
That is sick.
marc
youngest player to score 50 goals .....
answer...
Jimmy Carson.. I beleive he was days away from his 19 birthday, and he never one rookie of the year!!!!
Probably thetoughest "real" record in my mind has always been 22 shutouts by George Hainsworth in 1928. The remarkable part of the record is that he only played 44 games. That's just sick!!
Joe Malone scoring 7 goals in a game is pretty rewarkable when you consider just how few were scored in his day.
