Quick two:

Who is the Minnesota Wild franchise leader for single-season assists total?

Who led the 1998-99 Maple Leafs in goals?

PM Bouchard?

So I've not followed all the permutations on this one so it's possible I'm wrong here (but I'm fairly sure I'm not).

Can you name the last active player to have been a teammate of someone who won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1967?

Hint: They are a HHOFer who retired a member of the Maple Leafs although are not remembered for having played for them

Both players are very famous. I'm not asking you to call to mind Edgar "Hack" Winstead who played 228 games from 1965-72.

Yeah but determining players who were teammates of players from 1967 is still pretty much impossible for me to place.

# ? Dec 15, 2020 21:59

The few famous players I can think of on that 67 team weren't kids, so the last active player had to have retired by like 1980.

Hint 2: The last teammate of the second guy only retired a couple years ago, so really we're only two generations removed from the 67 cup.

Ahem Marek Malik played for the Canucks that year. I know because I got his jersey as a Christmas present that year and I'm still his biggest fan. He won the NHL Bud Light +/- Award in 03/04 which was weirdly a thing once.

Yeah but did he score a thru the leg shootout winning goal for the Canucks in a shootout that went so long they had to give a shot to Marek loving Malik?? That man is a hero in NY.

I'd guess somebody who debuted in the early 80's and had a real long career. I'd say Bourque but he never was associated with the Leafs.

Ron Francis was a 2004 deadline acquisition by the Leafs, so I'm thinking it's him.

Correct!

Dave Keon (b. 1940) won a Stanley Cup won the Leafs in 1967. He played all the way up to the 1981/82 season where at the age of 41 he was teammates with 18 year old Ron Francis (b. 1963) in Hartford. Ron Francis was traded to Toronto at the deadline in 2003/04 where the Leafs flamed out despite a run to the Conference Finals the year before. Francis then age 40 was teammates with a 19 year old Matt Stajan (b. 1983). So players born 43 years apart had just one degree of separation. Stajan himself retired from the NHL in 2017/18 age 33 so that's it. We are officially two full hockey generations removed from the playing memory of the Leafs last cup.

Awesome fact. drat Francis is old.

Five players have recorded 100 points in a season with less than 25 goals. Name them.

BONUS: Name the player who has scored the most amount of points in an NHL season with under 20 goals AND the player with the most points with under 15 goals.

Guessing these are mostly defensemen.

Although maybe Thornton did it one year, he was definitely a pass first kind of guy.

Now for a less question that requires less guesswork.

There have been 198 players who've played 1100 games or more in the NHL. 19 showed incredible loyalty and played their entire career with just one franchise.

However, six players who crossed the 1100 game threshold showed slightly less loyalty by playing each of their seasons with one franchise except for their final year. Can you name them?

(As an example: Ray Bourque played 21 seasons in Boston. However, he was traded to the Avalanche and ultimately won a cup with them and retired in 2001. He wouldn't count because he played parts of two seasons in Colorado, but would have had he retired after the 1999/00 season. If that makes sense.)

Coffey came very close with some seasons of 90+ pts and not many goals, but he never did 100 with less than 25. Those other three got past 25.

Nope. While best remembered as a Leaf, Sundin began his career in Québec before he was traded to Toronto in exchange for Wendel Clark in 1994. Sundin did sign a one year deal in Vancouver to finish his career after declining the team's initial two year $20m offer (!).
