Is Ty Conklin Lucky, Or Cursed?

Found June 13, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Ty Conklin
TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings,  Buffalo Sabres

by Adam GretzFiled under: Penguins, Red Wings, NHL FansHere's the good news for Detroit Red Wings backup goalie (and soon-to-be free agent) Ty Conklin: You've been a part of three of the past four Stanley Cup Finals, two of which have gone to seven games, while the other was about three inches and a tenth of a second from also seeing a winner-take-all game. And that fourth year? Eastern Conference final with the Buffalo Sabres. Not many players can say they've been a part of such history. The bad news?
