I'm curious as to where the Anaheim Mighty Ducks pluck these goaltenders that no one has ever heard of that have phenomenal playoff series and set crazy records. A few short years ago it was JS Giguere who holds, I believe he still holds it anyway, the longest playoff overtime shutout streak. That means that the clock starts ticking when a game goes into overtime and doesn't stop until a goal is scored on you. So, theoretically you can keep just stacking up the time in overtime games. I don't know if it goes from year to year or not. However, he passed up Patrick Roy to claim that record.
This year it's Ilja Bryzgalov setting bizarro records and having games no rookie should have. Today he recorded his 3rd straight shut-off in a playoff game. His current streak places him at 4th on the all-time list for playoff shutout streaks. If he somehow manages to go another game, he'll vault to 1st. Crazy.
It is nice to see Colorado floundering. Maybe they won't get quite as many featured games next year and we'll be able to see some other teams.
