Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Alright, in anticipation of the greatest sporting event known as the Stanley Cup playoffs, I would invite everyone to participate in some playoff trivia. Please feel free to add any questions that you can think of, in honor of the Carolina Hurricanes and Edmonton Oilers, I'll start off with this question: When was the last time the two teams playing in the Stanley Cup finals have failed to qualify for the playoffs the next year?

Legionnaire11 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Not trivia really. Just a question, but it should be fun research. Has any player ever won the cup with three different teams? Four? How many players (and possibly who) in the expansion era, made the playoffs every season of their career? (min. 10 seasons) How many players (and possibly who) in the expansion era, never made the playoffs in their career? (min. 10 seasons) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are several that have never missed the playoffs (a few on that list that will miss for the first time this year though). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(min. 10 seasons) How many players (and possibly who) in the expansion era, never made the playoffs in their career? (min. 10 seasons) The only guy I can think of that has won the cup with more than two teams is Claude Lemieux, who won it with three (Montreal, Colorado and New Jersey). Who hasn't missed the playoffs ever? Not sure, but just thinking about current players: - Lidstrom - Holmstrom (will be 10 years this year) - Draper - Chelios (he has missed the playoffs twice, but had to put him here as it is pretty amazing he's been in the playoffs 21 times. - Redden (never missed, this will be the 10th year, but he didn't play one year due to injury) - Phillips (never missed, but this will be only his 9th year) - Forsberg (will miss for the first time in his career this year) - Alfredsson (will be in for the 10th year in a row, but missed in his rookie year) - Hejduk (will miss for the first time in 8 years this year) I am sure there are plenty more current and former players, but that would be too much research, I'm only going by guys that come to mind. I haven't even thought about those that have never made it. Luongo will be there the first time in his career this year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Osgood's team has never missed the playoffs, despite playing on some pretty weak teams. This year makes 13 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
