Record Breaking
The Edmonton Oilers official homepage has a suprisingly excellent Game Day Centre. If you haven't been checking it out, you really should.
In particular, the Lineup & Game Notes link gives you a 20 page pdf on Oilers Notes with tonnes of fun information on all of the Oil's previous 2006 playoff games, historical records in any scenario imaginable (when winning game 1, when losing game 1, when leading a series 2-0, etc.), and dozens of fantastic little tidbits (especially in the Noteworthy section on page 4). The links at the top also give you pdf docs of Ducks Notes, Game by Game, Oilers Players, Oilers Goalies, Ducks Goalies, Ducks Players.

The Oilers Notes informs us that Oilers players have broken a number of team and league records this playoff season:
- In Rollie's first ever playoff game in Oilers silks he set two team records -- 54 saves and 57 shots against. Salo held the old record of 56 shots and 53 saves vs Dallas in 1999.
- Rollie has 12 PIM this playoff season which has already doubled the previous single year high of 6 by Fuhr in 1988. In fact, Rollie is just one minor penalty away from breaking Fuhr's career record of 14 PIM in 111 playoff games with Edmonton. You can do it Rollie!
- Pronger tied the Oilers and NHL records for most assists in a period, with three in the second period of the Oilers 3-2 win vs Detroit. He joins Gretzky, Coffey, Gregg, Anderson, Messier, and Tikkanen.
- The Oilers set a team record with 58 shots against in the OT win vs San Jose The previous high was 544 vs Winnipeg in 1984.
