Phil Myre
Philippe Louis Myre (born November 1, 1948) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender who played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Montreal Canadiens, Atlanta Flames, St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Rockies and Buffalo Sabres. Myre was born in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. Playing career. Originally selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1966 NHL Entry Draft, Myre played parts of three seasons with the Canadiens. In 1970-71, because of an injury to Rogatien Vachon, he played 30 regular season games and dressed for 70. However, during the playoffs, the  Canadiens went with rookie Ken Dryden. When Montreal won the Cup, Myre was included in the team picture and was given a Stanley Cup ring, but his name was left off the Cup, even though he qualified, because he did not dress for any playoff games. He was claimed by the Atlanta Flames in the 1972 NHL Expansion Draft, where he played for almost six seasons. Although Myre began as the starting goaltender for the expansion club, he spent most of his time in Atlanta backing up Dan Bouchard. Myre also played for the St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado  Rockies, and Buffalo Sabres. In the 1979–80 NHL season, Myre and rookie goalie Pete Peeters backstopped the Flyers through an undefeated streak of 35 games, an NHL record. Myre saw some action in the playoffs that year, but Peeters played every minute in the Finals, in which the Flyers lost to the New York Islanders in six games. After his playing career ended in 1984, Myre was a goaltending coach for the Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers.
