Also, holds the Caps single season record for most points by a goaltender (0-8-8 in 80-81).
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.

Which, yes, I know the card says, but it doesn’t say it a record!

Mike established an NHL record last season for the most assists in a season by a goalie…
Just sayin.

When I was growing up in NY, I was a Ranger fan and I was able to get tickets to a Caps/Rangers game, and in goal for the Caps was Mike Palmateer. The only reason I could get the tickets was because the Caps were so bad back then, and the Rangers were pretty good.
Anyway, the game starts and Palmateer is in the zone, he’s kicking out everything and anything, and ends up beating the Rangers with a shut out (I forget the score, it didn’t matter, I hated not seeing the Rangers score at the time.)
When I spoke to him at the opening of the arena in 1997, I told him about that, and with a grin, he apologized for the shut out. A good laugh for the day…
