Just out of curiousity, why wasnt Gerry Cheevers in net for the Habs/Bruins Game 7 in 1979. It was Gilles Gilbert. Not saying that Gilbert blew it, in fact he was definetly better than Dryden on that night since Dryden let in a couple soft ones. Not to mention Gilbert made a great save on a deflected shot as well in OT. But both of them split duties that spring for the Bruins in net yet Gilbert got Game 7. Sure Cheevers was 38 at the time, but would it have been a difference if he was in there? I dont remember why he wasnt.
