With the NHL season looming and the success of the Fantasy Draft threads every year, I thought I would do something fun: create a hockey trivia thread. We are all loving lunatics who seem to recall 4th line jobbers from 1993 extremely well, so let's do this! I'll lay out some guidelines - not rules per se, just the gist of what I had in mind and what makes a good trivia question. 1. One question at a time. This is to keep things from being chaotic, although two- or even three-pronged questions (name the team, the year, and the player, etc.) are perfectly fair game. 2. No cheating, you eggheads. This goes without saying and I trust my hockey brethren here not to just go to hockeydb and look answers up. The only way this is fun is to actually try to recall off the top of your head. 3. If requested by 5 or more posters, drop a hint. If a question seems really tough and a bunch of us agree and ask for a hint, totally fine! Just don't give too good a hint where it'll give it away. 4. The person who gets the answer right first starts a new question. Seems like a decent rule of thumb. What makes a trivia question good? Not too easy and not too hard. "Who is the Ranger's only 40-win goaltender in a season?" is too easy. "Name everyone on the 1985 Whalers who had less than 20 goals" is too hard. Make it reasonable, and if it's a list, try not to make it a question with more than 10 players to list unless it's really interesting. You can talk about single seasons, franchise records, or other weirder stuff. So, I guess, I'll start it off with one that's pretty easy, and I'll let you guys pick up and take the difficulty level to where you want it! Name the 8 goalies in the modern era (post-expansion) who have played at least one game for five different franchises and accumulated 40 or more shutouts. 1. Curtis Joseph (Twin Cinema) - STL/EDM/TOR/DET/PHX/CGY, 51 SO 2. Ed Belfour (Twin Cinema) - CHI/SJ/DAL/TOR/FLA, 76 SO 3. John Vanbiesbrouck (Twin Cinema) - NYR/NYI/NJD/PHI/FLA, 40 SO 4. Nikolai Khabibulin (Twin Cinema) - WPG/PHX/TBL/CHI/EDM, 46 SO 5. Jaroslav Halak (Gobias Ind.) - MTL/STL/WSH/NYI/BOS, 50 SO 6. Tom Barrasso (Twin Cinema) - BUF/PIT/OTT/CAR/TOR/STL, 40 SO* (38 official) 7. Tomas Vokoun (Twin Cinema) - MTL/NSH/FLA/WSH/PIT - 51 SO 8. Brian Elliott (Twin Cinema) - OTT/COL/STL/CGY/PHI fawning deference fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Dec 11, 2020 |

That one is tough. I am just guessing at guys who moved around a lot, and who I think probably hit 40 shutouts. Joseph, Belfour, Vanbiesbrouck, Theodore, Moog, Khabibulin, and Vernon. e: lol. Just looked each of these guys up.

Terry Sawchuk has to be one, he played for a ton of teams for short stints. Unless it's another old guy, I'd guess Grant Fuhr.

Mario Lemieux is the only player in the expansion era to win the Hart trophy and miss the playoffs in the same season. The Penguins actually finished last in their division in 1987/88 but Mario had 168pts including 70 goals in 77 games that year officially earning him the Super Mario nickname. While more common, can you name all the times a player has accomplished the unusual feat of winning the Hart Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same year (post 67)? It's only been accomplished 11 times by 7 different players.

As for your question, offhand guesses: 1. Wayne Goddamn Gretz-goddamn-ky 2. Mark Messier 3. Sidney Crosby 4. Did Mario do it in the 90's Cups? 5. Martin St Louis I think I'm missing one...

So to get everyone focused, there are 2 more goalies for the original question re: 40 shutouts having played a game for 5 different franchises. And then the 6 players who have won a Cup and a Hart in the same season is the second question.

Bobby Orr Guy Lafleur I am trying to think of two other goalies, and it's hard: Barrasso and Thibault? e: lol just looked these two guys up and I was so close. Barrasso had 38 SOs and Thibault had 39.

I'm going to just guess that Ben Bishop has accumulated 40 or more shutouts, I know he's played for 5 different franchises (STL, OTT, TB, LA, DAL) **nope, only 33 + 5 more in the playoffs  I couldn't even remember who played starting goalie for Minnesota for the last 5 years in the other thread, I have no chance hint please!

Two more. I think one is halfway "of course this guy" but halfway tricky because it's hard to remember that he played for a fifth team. The other one is active.

I know he started in Dallas and then went to Tampa Bay and then Arizona, Calgary and finally Edmonton If I'm wrong maybe I should be thinking of goaltenders who are good instead of goaltenders who played for 5 teams lol

Seems that in 89-90, HockeyDB recognizes Barrasso has having two shutouts, whereas H-R does not. NHL.com also doesn't recognize these 2 shutouts. I wonder what the story is here.

I am gonna guess Vokoun. He feels like he played for a bunch of teams. Unsure if he hit 40, or if he even had 5 teams. I have no clue on the active player. I feel like Lehner hasn't hit 40 yet.

fawning deference posted:As for your question, offhand guesses: 1. Gretzky, of course. He won the Hart a record setting 9 times and the Cup four times. They overlapped three times in 83/84, 84/85 and 86/87. His most decorated year was 1984/85 winning the Art Ross, Hart, Pearson and being awarded the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP. 2. Messier is correct. He did it in 89/90 when he led the Gretzkyless Oilers to a surprise Stanley Cup. Bill Ranford was the Conn Smythe winner for whatever reason. 3. Surprisingly Crosby has not done it. He's won two Hart trophies, two Conn Smythes and three cups. However none have overlapped. His Hart trophies came in 06/07 and 13/14 when they were eliminated in the first and second rounds respectively. 4. Mario also has not done it. Much like Sid he had a decorated career winning three Hart trophies and two Conn Smythes. However his two Conn Smythes came in 90/91 and 91/92 as he led the Pens to their first cups. He won the Art Ross each year but the Hart went to Hull and Messier those years. 5. Martin St. Louis did it and he remains the most recent individual to accomplish the feat in 03/04. He won the Art Ross and Pearson as well as he defeated the team that gave up on him four years prior in a thrilling game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Guy Lafleur has also done it twice (somehow I blanked him out in my mind as I was reading through the list). He did so in 76/77 and 77/78, winning the Conn Smythe the first time.
