1985–86 NHL season
The NHL 1985/86 season was the 69th season in the National Hockey League. 21 teams each played 80 games. The Stanley Cup won by the Canadiens after a 4-1 victory in the final series against the Calgary Flames. In Division Finals Calgary stopped the Edmonton Oilers in seven games. Previously, the Oilers were again dominated the regular season, so the NHL even changed the rules. Frequently Edmonton had tried that a player had by both teams to the penalty box, the playful to strong Oilers Gretzky could now take advantage of the extra space on the ice gates at 4 against 4. Had now from both teams at the same time, a player on the penalty bench, they played more with unchanged team strength. This rule change has been referred to as " Lex Gretzky ". Gretzky also managed only 52 goals. His incredible 163 assists, but had to be alone enough to topscorer, and are to this day a valid record, just like the 215 points. That would have also thought of Bobby Orr's 46 goals as a defender. Paul Coffey put it another two and hit 48 times. Orr's point record of 139 Coffey missed by one point. In addition to these highlights, there were also sad this season. Philadelphia goalie Pelle Lindbergh celebrated with his teammates the tenth consecutive victory Sozzled and then drove his Porsche home. With 2.4 per mil he drove at 60 km / h against a wall and did not survive the accident.
