May 4 (Reuters) - Petr Klima, the Czech forward who stepped up to score one of the most memorable goals in Edmonton Oilers history during the NHL's 1990 Stanley Cup Final, died on Thursday at the age of 58. Klima became the unlikely Oilers hero when he ended the longest game in the history of the Stanley Cup Final with a triple-overtime goal in the series opener against Boston after spending long stretches of the contest on the bench. "Klima helped the Oilers win the 1990 Stanley Cup while scoring a memorable triple-overtime winner in Game 1 of the Final," the NHL said in a statement. Klima played for the Detroit Red Wings, Oilers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins. In 786 NHL games across 13 seasons, Klima scored 313 goals and added 260 assists.

Not since the Montreal Canadiens beat the Los Angeles Kings in 1993 has the Stanley Cup been paraded through a Canadian city, an ego-deflating run of failure that has scarred a generation of fans. After winning the Stanley Cup in 1967, Maple Leafs defenceman Larry Hillman allegedly jinxed the team, saying they would not win it again until the club settled a contract dispute and paid him the $2,400 plus interest he believed he was owed. The Maple Leafs' big misfortune is playing in the same division as the Boston Bruins, who this season set NHL records for wins (65) and points (135), and the Tampa Bay Lightning, Stanley Cup finalists for the last three years. These two teams are once again hurdles that must be cleared on the way to a Stanley Cup. When the playoffs open on Monday, the Oilers will be the first of the Canadian teams to hit the ice, hosting the Los Angeles Kings in Game One of their best-of-seven series.
