    From ESPN2 last night:
    
    Name the last year that Montreal and Toronto missed the playoffs
    (before this one :-)
    
    Warren

    1970
    

    Correct - I guess the next obvious question is what year did Montreal,
    Toronto, AND Boston last miss the playoffs.
    
    I don't know the answer - I just thought it would be nice to know.
    
    Warren

    This would have to be before the "Original Six" era because four teams
    out of six minimum made the playoffs.  
    
    Now here's a trivia question for you (from last night's Senators
    telecast so those of you that watched the game on CHRO are ineligible).
    Of the current NHL coaches  who has the most career goals and
    who has the most career points.
    
    Bernie.

    My guesses would be -
    
    Most goals -  Lemaire
    Most points - Robinson
    
    papa r.

    I thought I said that if you saw the game on CHRO you couldn't answer!
    
    You got it!
    
    Your turn.  How about you give us one from way way back.  Maybe "What
    year did the Wings last win the Stanley Cup?" ;-)
    
    Or better yet, put in a question that might tease mon ami Raymond into
    showing signs of life.
    
    Bernie.

    I'd ask that question but it would be too easy for you....you were
    probably in your teens then  ;-)
    
    
    Here's one for Ray....
    
    How many points did Pierre Turgeon score last night in Toronto?
    
    pete

    <---- Not Enough!!!:*))
    
    Ray.
    

    Another one for Ray.....
    
    
    How many points did Pierre Turgeon get last night against Ottawa?
    
    pete

    Too many!!!
    
    I can't beleive that Montreal let him go.  He was awesome last night
    scoring one goal and assisting on three.  
    
    Bernie.

    I only saw the highlights but they were awesome. Turgeon has to be the
    3rd happiest man alive the Keenan got fired. The Blues top line of Hull
    Courtnall and Turgeon has been on fire sonce Quennville has been the
    coach. They have scored 19 goals and 25 assists in the last 10 games.
    Hull is smiling and scoring since the cuckoo bird left.
    
    Dave

    On ESPN2 the other night, they flashed the following question but I
    missed the answer - does anyone know it?
    
    	What was the last year the Montreal Canadians led the league in
        Goals Allowed?
    
    Warren

    
    Last year?

    Answer: 1983-84.
    
    I saw on TV the other day that they gave up 295g that year; a Hab
    record. They're en route for a 299 ga this year.
    
    Andy

    OK Buds fans, here's one for you...
    
    	Who holds the Maple Leafs team record for most career points by a
    right winger...
    
    Ray.
    

    I heard the answer to this question last night but I'm not going to 
    answer because >>OK Buds fans, here's one for you...<< eliminates me
    from participating.  ;-)
    
    Bernie.

    Saw that one too, Bernie; and didn't get it.
    
    Hint:
    
    - Lanny MacDonald
    - Rick Vaive
    - Wilf Paiement
    - Daniel Lacroix
    
    Andy

    Vaive is my guess

    Nope, Not Vaive...and it's not Rocky Saganiuk either!!:*))
    
    Ray.
    

    dele/ent=581.61
    
    my guess is Paiement...

    
      Walt Podubney ???
    
    Dennis ;-))))

    Brian got it. It's Paiement.
    
    BTW Dennis, Walt Pudubny was a close second!:*))
    
    Ray.
    

    yipee! I never won anything before, can you fed-ex my prize s.v.p. so
    I'll have it for weekend?
    
    Which team has won the Stanley Cup the second-most number of times and
     how often have they won it?
    
    (Bernie is disqualified because... just because)

    The Toronto Maple Leafs..beleive it or not!:*))
    
    	I think its either 12 or 14 times.
    
    Ray.
    

    you're right but you lose the cash because of the "beleive it or not"
    smart-assed comment which has no place in here!
    
    Bernie can confirm this but I think it was 13 times so you were close
    with the "12 or 14" guess...
    

    OK, you self-proclamed bunch of so-called hockey experts, here's a
    useless piece of trivia for your reading enjoyement...:*)
    
    Name the 3 current NHL coaches who all coached the same JR hockey team.
    
    Ray.
    
    

    Hitchcock, Hay and Rennie?
    
    pete

    >>useless piece of trivia for your reading enjoyement...:*)
    
    	I disagree cause I know the answer.
    
    All 3 coached the most famous Jr. hockey organization in the last 10
    years. They are; Don Hay(Pho), Tom Renney (Van), Hitchoch (Dal).
    
    
    Andy

    DAMN! That's what happens when you try to do your job and at the
    same time 'reply' in notes; someone beats you the 'ctrlZ'.
    
    Andy

    Ok, so it was easy...
    
    	here's another one. Name the first NHL team to have 3 fifty goal
    scorers. Bosus' if you can name the players...
    
    Ray.
    

    I hope to have the 'bosus'.
    
    Edmonton Oilers.
    Players? Hmmm!: GreAtzky, Kurri, and Anderson.
    
    
    Andy

Kings

Simmer,Taylor,Dionne

Ben

    sorry Ben, but you can stop scratching your head...Andy got it!
    
    Ray.
    

    From ESPN2 last night:
    
    	Name the only players to win the Calder, Hart, Art Ross and
    	Conn Symthe trophies?   I guess partial credit will be given
    	for knowing what these trophies are for :-)
    
    Warren

    Mario Lemieux is one for sure...
    
    

    Bobby orr...
    
    

    2 for 2, Ray.  (The Third Easy would be wrong since Wayne never got the
    Calder.)  So - one more.  Hint:  The Conn Symthe Trophy wasn't awarded
    until the mid-sixties, so don't bother guessing any of those "Legends" 
    guys.
    
    Warren

    Bryan Trottier...?
    

    Would Guy Lafleur be the third one?

    Trottier is correct.  
    
    Ray would've gotten Lafleur, I imagine, if it was him.
    ( Guy missed the Calder - having just watched the last episode of 
     "Legends" which was on ESPN2 - they said Guy wasn't great until
     his third year or so).

    Your right Warren. Lafleur didn't win the Calder...and I would have
    known it, had it been him..:*))) (come on Bernie, give me *some*
    credit!!:*))
    
    So Bernie, who did win the Calder in Lafleur's rookie year???
    
    Ray.
    

    winner of Calder in Lafleur's rookie year....Marcel Dionne?

    I'm very dissapointed in you Bernie...:*))
    
    Ray.
    

    Hey...that was 1970...I don't remember much from that year except that
    Woodstock was at about that time ;-)

    Actually, Bernie, it was the 1971-72 season in the NHL...you were about
    42 at that time!!:*))
    
    anyway, the answer is Ken Dryden.
    
    Ray.
    

    Bernie,
    		I belive Woodstock was the summer of '69. 
    
    Barry
    

    69 70 71,  they all blend in together ;-)

I can't remember where the ironman question got answered but Unger was right.

Ben 

    Hey Ben; THANKS.
    
    Andy

    Here's a little NHL finals trivia question to start the week off on the
    right foot.
    
    Darius Zubrus, at 18 years old, is the second youngest player to ever
    play in a Stanley Cup final. Who was the youngest player to play in a
    SC final series??
    
    Ray.
    

     Bobby Orr?

    Bentley, the answer isn't only in the question. Look at who asked
    the question. The answer must be a Hab player. :*))
    
    Andy

    Nope, he's not a Hab...The young Pup is still out there...
    
    Ray.
    

    Jagr?

    he also coached in the NHL.
    
    

    Craig Hartsburg
    
    Andy

    I love it when Andy's wrong!!!
    

    Howie Meeker?

	Boom Boom Geffrieon

    still out there...
    
    p.s.: Meeker was a good guess.
    
    

    Glen Sather?

    rumor has it, this mistery man actually played with...
    
	Bernie Leury!:*) Which means, he played in the '40s...
    
    Ray.
    
    
    

    he coached a US based original 6 team.
    
    Ray.
    

    Tom Johnson?

    Coached the Bruins...
    

    Bep guidolin?

    well, it's about time...Bep Guidolin is the correct answer. For more
    details on Guidolin, go to Bernie's Web page, at
    
    	WWW.leury.oldtimers.hockey.
    
    Ray.:*)
    
      

    The Wings win on Saturday was the first Stanley Cup final game that they 
    have won in a long time.  They lost their previous eight.  Previous to 
    Saturday, when did the Wings last win a  game in the Stanley Cup finals?  
    Bonus points if you can name the goalie that earned the win.  
    
    Bernie.

    I'll say in 1963, with Roger Crozier in nets.
    
    Ray.
    

    Atta boy Pete for that answer (Bep Guidolin). I wonder if you found
    that one on your own??? :*)))))
    
    Andy

    A little fairy told me ;-)  ;-)
    
    

    re: .112
    
    Ray,
    
    The goalie is right, the year is wrong.  
    
    Bernie.

    1966
    
    Andy

    1966 it is.  That year the Wings were in the final against Montreal. 
    The first two games were played in Montreal and the Wings won both. 
    Montreal went on to win the next four.  Roger Crozier was the Conn
    Smythe winner (playoff MVP), one of the few times that a player from
    the loosing team has won the trophy.
    
    Bernie.

    Crozier was the second player to win the Conn Smythe award. Who was the
    first player to win the Playoff MVP trophy??
    
    Ray.
    

    
    
    Beliveau
    
    Andy

    Savard wasn't around until a couple of years later... I think it was
    Beliveau.
    
    -Stephen

    Le Gros Bill is the correct answer.
