Huh, well I have some weird memory hole for 2020 because I could've sworn they said they weren't inducting anyone this year.

I also clearly remember Ovechkin signing a 3 year $30m contract extension which I thought was pretty reasonable but apparently that was only rumoured to have been an offer that was rejected.

I thought I heard that, too. Maybe they meant either there will be none in 2021, or that the actual induction ceremony will take place next year. Because Hossa, Iginla, Lowe, and Doug Wilson got inducted. Also, Kim St-Pierre.

Recent trivia answers Keith Tkachuk and Jeremy Roenick are members of the 500 club.

The last one is probably a really good player who didn't win a cup, seeing as that's how you score 500 and don't get into the Hall.

I hope people are not advocating for guys like Verbeek, Tkachuk or Bondra to get in the Hall.

And the answer is Turgeon, who is certainly better than those players, but does suffer reputation wise.

Speaking of the Hall of Fame, I have another question.

Mike Sillinger is not a Hall of Famer. And despite playing for 17 seasons for 12 different teams, he only appeared in at least one NHL game with (to my knowledge) only 14 current Hall of Famers. Who are they?

Funny enough, he never played with Jagr, who didn't begin his journeyman run until after Sillinger retired.

Sillinger did play for the Blues, but they didn't acquire him until a few months after MacInnis played his last game. Pronger is correct, though.

Turgeon was on the Punch Up in Piestasny team but got a lot of flack because he was IIRC the only Canadian not involved in the fighting. He was also the guy who got decked by Dale Hunter after a goal celebration in the playoffs.

Four correct there I believe. He played with Fedorov, Coffey, and Cicarelli with the Wings, never played with Shanahan or Larry Murphy, and (weirdly) didn't play with Larionov until Larionov's half season with the Panthers in 2000-01.


Also correct, they played like 13 games together on the Senators.

Six left. I'll post hints on a few in a bit.

He was on the Flyers in the 90s so he must've played with Lindros. I think Coffey was around then, too, but he was already named as a Red Wing. Pretty sure he was also on the Ducks, so that would mean Selanne and Kariya With the Lightning, I think he played with St. Louis. He also played *in* St. Louis, so I'm gonna guess Pronger, since I think he was an Islanders by the time Pronger left STL. Pretty sure there were no HoFers in those last few years with the Islanders.

Who else did he play for? Detroit, Ottawa, Nashville, Vancouver, Florida, maybe Phoenix? Calgary or Colorado?

Between the Blues, Red Wings, and Coyotes, maybe he played with Brett Hull? Blues would've also had Al MacInnis at that time.

Lindros is correct, too. They didn't play too many games together since Lindros was entering concussion land by the time Sillinger was on the Flyers, but they did. Selanne and Kariya are also correct. Fun fact, Kariya and Sillinger were both on the Predators in 05-06 as well.

St. Louis is incorrect, he joined the Lightning the year after Mike left. Pronger and MacInnis I explained above. Hull is also incorrect, he was on the Coyotes the year after the lockout; Sillinger was on before the lockout.

Messier is correct. The Lays Chips man and Sillinger played half a season together, Messier's first with the Canucks.


One left, easily the most difficult. The last of the six HOFers he played with on the Wings.

Sergei Fedorov
Igor Larionov

Dino Cicarelli

Man, my timeframe of when Sillinger played is way off. I thought he was more of a late-90s to early-10s guy.

Here is one I won't give any hints for

Mats Sundin joined the Maple Leafs prior to the 1994-95 season. Until he left after the 2008-09 season, he led the Leafs in scoring every year...except for one. Do you know which other player led the Leafs in scoring during this timeframe?

ThinkTank
Oct 23, 2007

Antropov? Darcy Tucker that time he had like 70pts for no reason?

I noticed the other day that between 1992/93 and 2016/17 the Canucks were led in scoring by a European player every single year. It's not much of a trivia question because it's relatively obvious who those players are, but 23 seasons without a Canadian or American leading an NHL team in scoring must be a record. Has another team even had a European lead the team in scoring that many times in their history?

The Capitals, somewhat ironically, had 17 seasons in a row with a European on top but Carlson broke that streak last year (although I did think for a second...is he Swedish? lol)

Antropov would never lead the Leafs in scoring. And, the season after Sundin left, he was traded to the Rangers for a 2nd round pick.

Tucker was able to hit 61 in 05-06, but only managed to finish 4th in scoring on the team. However, his 59 in 01-02 had him finish 2nd.

I would assume that this is a record, just because Europeans didn't start coming over until the late-80s/early-90s. Was there even many teams pre-92/93 that had a European lead their team in scoring?

Mogilny then? He was decent for the Leafs from what I remember and like his time with the Canucks you go "oh yeah he was a consistent 90+ point guy. I forgot about that."

Scandinavian players hace been around since the 70s. The Canucks have been led in scoring by Europeans pretty consistently since the late 70s/early 80s (I'd ask you to name them but a game of try and remember the mostly irrelevant pre-Bure Canucks players isn't that much fun).

The numbers certainly increased after the fall of the iron curtain as Russians arrived, but non-russian Europeans have been here for a long time. They just tended not to stick around for more than a handful of seasons for whatever reason. Kent Nilsson showed up aged 21, had a bunch of sensational seasons then went back to Sweden aged 29. If he'd stuck it out he'd be more widely regarded as one of the all-time greats.

Yep, this is it. He led the team in 02-03.

Also, I am now just realizing that Mogilny only played a season and a half for the Devils (before going back in 05-06), because in my mind, it was a lot longer.

Tomas Gradin, Petri Skriko and Patrik Sundstrom all led the team in scoring in the 80s. The Canucks have had a handful of European players on their roster (predominantly Swedish) since the mid 70s.

Also thanks to Gradin Rod Sedlbauer had one of the best stat lines in Canucks history. 79gp 40g 16a 56pts, easily the worst player to ever lead the team in scoring. It was his only noteworthy season, he never hit even 20 goals before or after that.

Jaromir Jagr is famed for the incredible longevity and durability he's showed as he continues his career with Kladno in the Czech Republic aged 48. In his final season with Calgary a full half of his teammates had yet to be born when he made his NHL debut in October 1990.

So long is his career that eight players who made their NHL debuts after his rookie season in 1990/91 were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame before he played his last NHL game in 2017/18. Can you name them?

Bure is correct! He debuted in 91/92, retired in 02/03 due to injuries and was elected to the HHOF in 2012 in his sixth year of eligibility.

Lindros is also correct! Despite being drafted in 91 he didn't debut until 92/93 due to his holdout with Quebec. He retired in 2006/07 and was inducted in 2016.

Leetch is not correct, he began his career a few years before Jagr.

It's not just guys who had their careers shortened due to injury. There are a couple that were known for having long careers including two guys who played into their 40s.

Forsberg is correct! He debuted in 94/95 after spending four years in Sweden following his draft. Injuries cut down his career and he retired in 2010/11 and was inducted in 2014.

Lidstrom is also correct amazingly! He was drafted the year before Jagr but didn't debut until the season after him. One of the most durable players ever he played 20 full seasons retiring in 2011/12 aged 41. He was inducted into the HHOF in his first year of eligibility in 2015. Jagr would play a further three seasons beyond that.
