That last goal made several more dents in the record book of the day:
•It was Kurri's seventh playoff hat trick, tying him with Rocket Richard and Wayne Gretzky for the most ever. I still remember smirking to my wife when they announced it, "who are those guys?"
•The five points tied a Stanley Cup Finals single game record, which had been done five times between 1942-44 including by Syl Apps, Sid Abel and Toe Blake. Kurri was the first - and remains the only - player since World War II to achieve this feat.
•It was the 200th playoff point of Kurri's glorious career, just the second man to reach this mark.
