Random Hockey Trivia

[shrader]

I heard a random bit of information on the radio and it got me thinking that this could be a fun thread. I just want to lay out two ground rules before I kick this off.

 

1. If you are going to post a response, put it in white text or something so that others aren't spoiled and get their shot.

2. Don't Google answers before posting. Let's keep this fun. I like digging around in my head trying to figure out the answers.

 

So here's the random fact of the day for me. Six Americans have been drafted first overall. Name them.

 

In the spirit of the thread, I have not looked up the answer. I can get 4 of them so far.

[Hoss]

off the top of my head: Patrick Kane, Erik Johnson, Madano, DiPietro, Lawton... Drawing a blank now.

How did you add the spoiler? Did you type in spoiler- close spoiler inside brackets?

[Jeanbe]

That's what I want to know too. I only have 4 but will think about it.

Yeah

[Jeanbe]

Lawton, DePeitro, Kane, Modano

Just picked up my fifth. No clue on the sixth. I only found the fifth because i saw him on Twitter. He's an agent now. I see Jeanbe got him, too.

Here's how to do it

type here stuff [/ spoiler] no space before the s on the last one.

 

I got him because I'm old and remember it as being a big deal. :)

I just checked your spoiler and I can't believe I missed that one. Guess I'm out since you had one I didn't.

So's your face

 

Ok so I caved and looked up the 6th one. I had also thought up the five from Tanks list. I had no idea this player was american.

 

Hint: he can't see very well

:P I was just testing to see if the spoiler thing works.

 

I only knew three, but that sixth one is one of the three I knew.

[Taro T]

Lawton, Modano, Berard, DiPietro, Kane, and someone who has never been in my living room. :P

Lawton, Modano, DiPietro, Kane, Berard, Erik Johnson?

Looks like we got a winner!

This is one of those where I don't believe anybody could get all six without googling it/piecing together from other posts.

Feel free to throw any questions out there that come to mind. I heard Matthew Barnaby on the radio yesterday saying that he played for 7 teams (could only think of 3 of them). I was thinking of using that one but it's pretty boring and obscure. There must be something more entertaining out there than that.

That is because you didn't see some of those guys play. I got 4 immediately, remembered Berard and actually Erik Johnson took me the longest. I'm just too technologically challenged to know how to post them without ruining it for everyone. I do admit that I read your post about Lawton before thinking about the answer but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered him as well.

Agreed.

 

The 1st 5 came pretty quickly. Totally forgot that Johnson was a #1. Could easily see a lot of people getting all 6.

How about this one since six was the number of choice. Six Sabre head coaches actually played for the team. Can you name them?

Smith, Ruff, Ramsay, Schoenfeld, Dudley, Inglis

Last one took a little thought.

Third little button (green) on the top left next to font on the post menu is BBCode. highlight text, click button, drop down choose spoiler. Done

I would guess that the first and last you listed would be the only ones that would stump most with the last definitely the toughest

Name all the professional hockey teams Gordie Howe played for.
