3. Andy Moog & Reggie Lemelin
Andy Moog was traded to the Bruins from the Edmonton Oilers at the trade deadline on March 8, 1988. Reggie Lemelin was already having a good season, that continued when Moog was acquired. The Bruins made the Stanley Cup Final, but ended up being swept by the Oilers. Lemelin went 11-6 in the playoffs with a .895 SV% and a 2.64 GAA with one shutout, while Moog went 1-4 with a .850 SV% and a 4.73 GAA.
During the 1989-90 season, just two seasons later, the pair would have over 20 wins each, win the Jennings Trophy, and were back in the Stanley Cup Final. In the regular season, Moog went 24-10-7 with a .893 SV% and a 2.89 GAA with three shutouts, while Lemelin went 22-15-2 with a .892 SV% and a 2.80 GAA with two shutouts. In the Stanley Cup Final, it was a rematch of two seasons earlier against the Oilers. Boston fell to Edmonton again, but avoided the sweep this time around, losing the series in five games. Moog went 13-7 in the playoffs with a .909 SV% and a 2.21 GAA with two shutouts
After the second Stanley Cup Final run, Reggie Lemelin was plagued by multiple injuries over the next few seasons, including back and groin injuries during the 1990-91 season, and a hamstring injury in the 1991-92 season. Lemelin played his last game for the Bruins on December 29, 1992 and decided to retire from hockey in January, after the B’s chose to send him down to the AHL’s Providence Bruins. Moog played out the rest of the 1992-93 season and was traded to the Dallas Stars on June 25, 1993.
