Gold Medal Goalies and the Stanley Cup
Something interesting I realized the other day about gold medal-winning goalies and the Stanley Cup:
1998 Nagano Olympics: Dominik Hasek led the Czech Republic to the gold medal
1999 Stanley Cup Finals: Dominik Hasek led the Buffalo Sabres to the Cup Finals
2002 Salt Lake City Olympics: Martin Brodeur led Canada to the gold medal
2003 Stanley Cup Finals: Martin Brodeur led the New Jersey Devils to the Cup championship
2006 Turino Olympics: Er, well there is always an outlier.
2010 Vancouver Olympics: Roberto Luongo led Canada to the gold medal
2011 Stanley Cup Finals: Roberto Luongo led the Vancouver Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals
2014 Sochi Olympics: Jonathan Quick will backstop the US Olympic team; can he do for them what he did for the 2012 Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings? And if so, what might that mean for the 2015 L.A. Kings?
