Bench Penalty
At times HSP does not distinguish between bench penalties and on ice penalties. Possible for a back-up goalie to get a two minute penalty while on the bench, never being in play.
W/L/T matching means the SOG and S% may be used to cross check.
Okay, here's an odd request (and one that should be easier to resolve than I'm making it out to be).
Who was the Boston Bruins' goaltender on October 16, 1968, in the club's 2-1 win in Oakland?
HSP has Cheevers playing, while Sebastien Tremblay has Johnston playing (in fact, Tremblay doesn't have Cheevers playing at all until October 19, suggesting a malady of some sort).
I can't find a publicly available box source for the game to confirm one side or the other. There's a good Oakland source on newspapers.com, but I'd prefer to pay for the service all at once (since you pay per time, not per page accessed). And I've never found a good Boston source online (at a reasonable price).
And of course, it's a lousy west coast game.
Anyone have anything good?
EDIT: Similar question for the November 6, 1968 game:

HSP has Johnston playing, Tremblay has Cheevers playing. HSP boxscore has a minor penalty for Cheevers (even with them having Johnston playing).
If Tremblay is correct in both cases, then my W/L/T totals will match the official NHL record for both goaltenders.
