I'll add some Blue Jackets trivia, for those other than Sprague, who I'm sure knows them. The Blue Jackets have had six captains in team history. "Easy" question: name them. All but the current captain played 1000+ NHL games. Which CBJ captain played the most NHL games? Hint: He played 1417 NHL games Which two CBJ captains played for eight NHL teams? Hint: One played for San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes, Phoenix Coyotes, Dallas Stars. The other played for Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, Phoenix Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Florida Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins. Which three CBJ captains won the Stanley Cup? Hint: 1993 Canadiens, 1996/2001 Avalanche, 2006 Hurricanes

How's about we do STUPID BLUES TRIVIA? 1. Dan Kelly was the longtime voice of the club on KMOX radio, and his son John is currently the TV commentator. However Dan did not join KMOX until the 1968-69 season. Who called Blues games in their inaugural season? 2. What major corporation purchased the Blues in the late '70s strictly because they wanted to keep all four major sports (this was when the Spirits were still in the ABA, and about a decade before Big Red upped sticks for Phoenix) in the STL metro area? 3. Said major corporation underwent a leadership change in the '80s, and the new chairman liked sports...but not hockey, rather horse racing. During this time they gutted the team staff and decided to just not attend the 1983 NHL Draft. If the Blues had gone to that draft, what place would they have picked in the 1st round, and indeed who went in that place? 4. The lure of nightlife on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, where bars can stay open to 4 am and strip clubs are unrestricted, was notorious amongst NHL players in the '90s. And you've likely heard the story of Brett Hull borrowing Blues head coach Bob Berry's Jaguar XJ, going over to the East Side, and partying it up. But what visiting NHL player was arrested in a Sauget motel room with a sex worker and several grams of crack? 5. When Harry Ornest purchased the Blues in the mid-80s thus avoided the team moving to Saskatchewan, what was the first thing he did with the team, on advice of his wife? 6. What was the compensation the club originally offered the New Jersey Devils following the signing of Brendan Shanahan in 1991? (Bonus points: with whose wife did Brendan Shanahan sleep with, which led to him being sent to Hartford in exchange for Chris Pronger?)

Zodijackylite posted:Which two CBJ captains played for eight NHL teams? Ray Whitney is an answer for both of these. I remember being excited when Whitney signed with Detroit in '03 before he went on to have the worst season of his career. When the lockout hit, he left for Carolina and won the Cup immediately.

I have no idea, but I do know he was a pro baseball player in his youth. 6.

Spring Break My Heart posted:I don't think he was. He was added late in 05-06 season and was gone pretty soon after. Adam Foote was their captain iirc Fedorov was acquired just after the start of the 2005 season and was traded at the 2008 Deadline to Washington. Adam Foote was Captain, while Fedorov, Nash, and David Vyborny rotated as alternates. The 08 Deadline saw half the leadership go; after Foote's tantrum and Fedorov was moved, Nash got the C, with Freddy Modin and Mike Peca getting A's.

Troy Queef posted:How's about we do STUPID BLUES TRIVIA? The answers are: 1. You all are correct, it was Jack Buck. At the time he was second mic for the Cardinals and better known for doing Mizzou and Big Red football. In the spring of '68, a dispute between Anheuser-Busch and then-Cards announcer Harry Caray meant that Jack took over for the Cards full time. 2. Yes, it was Ralston Purina. (The Checkerdome was a tell.) 3. The Blues would have picked fifth in the '83 Draft. Their absence meant the Buffalo Sabres took the pick, selecting future Stanley Cup-champion goalie Tom Barrasso. (One pick earlier went to Detroit, who selected some guy from Cranbrook, BC and the Peterborough Petes. He's not done much since.) 4. Yep, Kevin Stevens. Many things have happened at the Sauget Ballet. Not many of them are positive, though there is an amazing BBQ and hot dog stand that rotates its way around some of the clubs. 5. Harry Ornest, in addition to being a massive penny-pincher, had a wife that didn't like the Blues uniforms. Her design added red as an accent color, shrank the blue-note, added ST. LOUIS to it, but also put the word "BLUES" arched above that blue-note. There's a bit of nostalgia towards it because it was the Monday Night Miracle uniform (I've seen a few shirts from local companies with "STL" in the font style/arching of "BLUES") but it's widely looked back on as too much. 6. Before arbitrator Edward Houston made his call and sent Scott Stevens to the Devs, the Blues offered them...Curtis Joseph, Rod Brind'Amour, and two draft picks. The RFA compensation system sucked. (And yes, Shanahan broke up Janney's marriage. When Shanny was head of DOPS, there was a theory amongst certain STL fans that he went out of his way to give Blues players suspensions for doing things other teams' players got merely fined for, all because he never wanted to be traded from the Blues.)

DJExile posted:"Chill Factor" is a great book and you can knock it out in a weekend. Dear God, this. If you have any interest in behind the scenes life at a hockey team, especially in the minors, do yourself a favor: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/chill-factor-david-paitson/1120009781. The book hits how the team came to be, how they were a surprising hit yet had to deal with a bunch of adversity to survive, and how they contributed to the CBJ coming to town, all in spite of OSU. It also takes a dive into the mess between Ohio State, the NHL, and the then-potential arena/sports complex which was kneecapped. Since we're on the topic, Due to the combination of the Coliseum occasionally being booked for other events, a lack of suitable ice rinks in the city, and  if OSU was going to let them use theirs, the Chill would occasionally be displaced to play home games in two different barns in which Ohio metro area which also had an ECHL team?AsInHowe posted:Everything about the Columbus Chill is rad and good.

I am bizarrely aware that Luke Richardson played exactly 1417 games, and given that he played with like 20 teams I think there's a good chance he captained the Jackets at some point.

Luke Richardson played 27 games for Tampa Bay in 06-07 and managed to average 7:07 of ice time. I had also forgot he came back to the Leafs in 05-06. It just makes that team even weirder in retrospect.

3) Which ESPN personality auditioned to be the CBJ's first TV PBP voice? (Hint: He lost out to Dan Kelly, who now calls Cawlidge Hawkey for BTN.) 5) Three players who were on the CBJ team which was swept by the Wings in 2009 would play another playoff game with the team in 2014. Name them. RJ Umberger was answered correctly, Jared Boll took the Game Misconduct for lighting up Kent Huskins(?) in his first game, the former Ranger who was surprisingly good at shootouts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ePHoh1Xik DJExile posted:I'm pretty positive they didn't come to Toledo, so it must have been Cincy.
