Edmonton Oilers' Wayne Gretzky consoles Philadelphia Flyers' goaltender Ron Hextall after the Oilers beat the Flyers 3-1 to win the Stanley Cup in seven games in Edmonton in this May 31, 1987 file photo. Monday night’s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final was the 13th time in NHL history that the final series went the distance, including some memorable games in 1994 when Vancouver fell short in New York and in 1987 when Hextall won the Conn Smythe Trophy despite seeing his Flyers lose the final game to Gretzkys’ Oilers.
