Oilers Only Lose 3 Games in 1985 Playoffs

[@mcdaviddeservesbetter8]

What a beautiful jersey. I miss that uniform.

[@patch8376]

You should have a wear-on mullet in behind your cap for mid '80s videos. That might not be a serious suggestion, merely a fun thought.

[@petercasnocha5340]

definately for 91 season

Wayne Gretzky also scored his next 1000 points faster than anyone else in NHL history got to their 1st 1000. Of course we know, no NHL player even has a 2nd 1000 points scored.

[@SverigeiSverige]

Good as always! 👍

[@SverigeiSverige]

Adam Oates signed as a free agent 28 June 1985 to Detroit. Only Gretzky has more points than Oates (1420) among undrafted.

[@SverigeiSverige]

Gretzky sets new records for assists and points in playoff - 18-17-30-47.

[@ozy75]

Still would love to see a bio of Pelle Lindbergh because all I remember of him was that trophy winning season and suddenly he's dead. More recently became acutely aware of how he helped the Swedes to bronze during the 1980 Olympics.

[@edmontonboy99]

Have you ever watched Boys on the Bus?

"If Gretzky only wouldn't have scored any goals at all this season I could have tied him in the scoring race." - Jari Kurri "I'm going to win it clear next season even if you take away all of my goals." - Wayne Gretzky

[@SuperStrik9]

Gretzky was on his own level. Dominated his sport more than any other athlete in history imo.

[@lmsports4915]

This was the best season of Gretzky's career, IMHO.

[@concerts4life100]

What about the 1988 Edmonton Oilers that only lost 2 games during the playoffs? 4-1 vs Winnipeg 4-0 vs. Calgary 4-1 vs. Detroit 4-0* vs. Boston (5 games were played as the Game 4 at Boston Gardens was suspended because of power failure in the 2nd period with the score tied 3-3) The official & competed Game 4 took place in Edmonton

[@Rockhound6165]

I didn't think anyone would beat the Flyers that year. They were dominant all year long. When Dave Poulin scored that shorthanded goal on a 5 on 3 against Quebec, I thought that was the sign of things to come then to win game 1 of the finals, I thought it was over. I was right but not what I thought.

[@SuperStrik9]

The death of Pelle Lindbergh was a tragedy.

[@Jelsick]

I agree. I remember that time as a young 20 year old kid. He was an amazing goaltender, and I liked him, even as a die hard North Stars fan. I believe he could have easily been a hall of Famer, with perhaps a cup somewhere in the mix, weather with the Flyers or some other team. One wrong decision and history is changed forever. A damn shame.

[@MrProvincial]

Another day, another loss in the Finals. But when you lose the Final, there's always next year to come back and fight again. And when you lose a person - you can't replay life. We remember you, Pelle.

[@lancecrossan9343]

If I remember correctly, Hawerchuk got hurt prior to the playoff series with Edmonton.

[@SuperStrik9]

This was the year the Leafs drafted Wendel Clark. One of the few bright spots during the '80s.

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

I guess I'm not the only one who calls unsightly things a dogs breakfast. I wish they would bring back these old division names. I love them so.

[@filipnassen9076]

Wasn’t Pelle Lindbergh the first european goalie to win the Vezina?

[@logann29]

Crosby also had 21 points in 12 games in the ploffs

[@watcher6935]

👍❤️

[@nolanbrown4015]

1:56 See exactly what is happening with Connor and he will win cups

[@eddiefaccioni2453]

Toronto's 48 points is the worst ever in franchise history.

[@veselinboyadzhiev4724]

Edmonton and Winnipeg is a bad matchup for Winnipeg!

[@Jelsick]

Or anyone else

[@kunaalpurohit9475]

Hi

[@aitoiguchi6156]

Mario Vs Wayne

[@autumnfall1997]

Joakim Mimeme super mario was the best player

[@SuperStrik9]

Wayne all the way. He has more assists than Mario has total points.

[@autumnfall1997]

SuperStrik9 Mario didn't play that long and still had amazing numbers

[@SuperStrik9]

autumnfall1997 Mario was great, no doubt. I rank him #2 all time. Wayne's better though. He dominated longer than Mario. Has more records than Mario. Plus you're talking about what if's. If Mario played longer isn't reality.

[@melabbn8731]

[@jonasquick6139]

As a swede im curoius if you think that Pelle Lindbergh could have been one of the greatest ever or if this season would have been more of a one hit wonder?

[@Jelsick]

That's a hard question. There have been many flash in the pan goalies over the years. I, however believe he would have had a stellar career, with a Hall of Fame nod not out of the question. Again it's hard to know because of a promising and bright future cut so tragically short. Sweden has had many excellent players over the years. As a Swede you should be proud of that.

[@jonasquick6139]

@@Jelsick and proud i am so:) have been thinking of it a lot lately and especially when THG came closer to 1985. I personally think he would have been at least among the greatest of the decade and of his way of playing

[@timklassen421]

did the russiansnot beat them 6 to 2 in a exibition game after the oilers won the cup

[@autumnfall1997]

The Norris division was so bad
