On 2/13/89, I was 11 years old and I came home from school to see a pair of Red Wings tickets on the dining room table. I was so excited to go to my first game. I told my dad that all I wanted was to see a Steve Yzerman penalty shot and my dad told me there was no way that was going to happen. However, 0:46.
That Cleary goal in the 2007 playoffs was pivotal not only for that series; if they lost in the first round again, who knows what happens with that roster.
The longest gap between penalty shot goals was 11 and a half years from November 95 when Igor Larionov scored, to April 2007 when Danny Cleary scored on one. The shortest time was 5 days, when Valtteri Filppula scored on two penalty shots 5 days apart 🤣
i know Kane doesnt. liked him personally or seemed to but Chicago in the miserable 22-23 had those 2 and Domi locked in as a line for like the first 30 games. it was the worst line i've ever seen in the NHL. no hyperbole. later they'd put Kane and Domi back together but w Kurashev, the line was great. so maybe chemistry issues.
