OBSCURE FACTOID
In the last game of the 1969-70 NHL season, the Red Wings lost to the New York Rangers 9-5, but actually scored two empty net goals in the loss. Why? Tiebreaker rules dictated that the Rangers would qualify for the playoffs based on goal differential, so even though they were winning handily, they pulled the goalie with several minutes left in order to score as many goals as possible.
