Random Hockey Trivia

[Eleven]

It's a tough one. I'd almost accept a word picture of a few — that guy from **** who did that one game and sounded like ****. I had to Google one of the names.

 

I have now looked it up so I will refrain from further participation. It's a tough one, to be sure.

I missed one of Shader's, so my numbers above are two off.

Danny Gare did not win a cup

 

 

Not to quibble, but ...

 

The original question stated that 2 former Sabres played for the SC winner the season that team won the SC but weren't included on the SC. Gare played for the Eulers in '87 but retired mid-season. So, he did play for them a season they won.

 

BTW, EXCELLENT question. :beer:

I would agree, excellent question. I may use it myself once I can confirm the exact numbers.

I think it's a fair complaint, I was working off the wikipedia article and they list the borderline players, then state whether they were on the cup or not, that's what I was trying to get at with the 'season' language. I didn't forsee someone like Gare, since the page doesn't list players leaving midseason.

 

I tried to look at everyone that won their first cup after 1970, but between wine and fatigue, I missed at least two.

 

I am very impressed at how sabrespace did, I expected maybe 10 total. thanks for playing.

John Cullen didn't win a cup

 

 

 

Cullen didn't win a Cup, but he didn't get his name on it despite how many games he played for the Pens?

What does P.K, in P.K subban stand for?

I believe Cullen is exactly like Gare, he was traded from Pittsburgh to Hartford in 1990-1991, the first year of Pittsburgh's 1991 and 1992 cups

 

 

 

[rakish]

A two parter:

He leads the 2014 Buffalo Sabres in winning percentage of games he has played

Someone else led the NHL in 2013-2014 (with a few games played) his team winning 15 of the 16 games he played

[Hoss]

 

Not sure on the first one. Kaleta?

 

Second one is Tanguay.

 

[rakish]

 

 

Kaleta is wrong at 1-3

EDIT: Kaleta is 0-1, it's Larsson that's 1-3

Tanguay is right

Yeesh, it's been longer than I thought on this thread.  And I could swear we had a larger one somewhere.

 

Trivia Question: Aside from Buffalo, what other U.S. City is home to exactly 1 NHL team, 1 NFL team, and neither an NBA nor an MLB team?
 

You may not need to dig toooo deep to find the answer, but it is still interesting that only one other sports town like ours exists!

 

Edit: Hint , if you want it:

 

 

The Bills played an away game in this city this past fall...

I had to run through the NFL divisions in my mind, but that definitely wasn't the city that would have come to mind right away.

I had to do it the other way, since I don't know if I could exhaustively list all the teams in the NFL. I think I have it, and checking the hint would fit my guess.

The NFL division structure is much easier for me to go through in my mind.  I still can't get over this 7 vs. 8 thing in the NHL.

Until this morning, I thought the Johanson deal was an intra-conference trade.

Checking the standings 15 times a day last spring means I have the NHL divisions down cold.

To be honest, I do it with a map in my head, just thinking of the cities themselves.

So, "Vegas" will become the third U.S. City with exactly 1 NHL team, 1 NFL team, 0 MLB teams, and 0 NBA teams, along with Buffalo and the city alluded to in the above post.

 

I guess the short list of sports towns that are just like Buffalo is now even stranger, huh?

 

By the way, I wonder if kids these days consider a "Big Four" in American pro sports leagues?  It was definitively those four when I grew up in the nineties.  Was it something else before that (like in the 60s, 70s, 80s)?
