Trivia question:Which former Hab got the same number of points in a season, twice in the N, once in the minors? Hints:~pts per season are between 90 and 100 ~the final time he accomplished this feat, he was a Hab I was going to sarcastically ask if a Hab has gotten 90 points in the last decade but my tears got in the way. It's been more than a decade, sorry  94 pts OHL, Guelph Platers, 83-84 NHL, NJ Devils, 87-88 NHL, CH, 92-93 *** Trivia question:And you all thought Marc-André Bergeron was really bad with his -9 current season +/- stat. At least his career +/- is still only at -6. Former Hab, obviously. He never had a +/- that was on the positive side of the fence. And he was bad... really, really bad. -50 in the +/- Who is he?

Mr October - Brian Savage. He did have a positive in 1994-95 in his first year, and then it went downhill after that point.

He did have a positive in 1994-95 in his first year, and then it went downhill after that point. Believe it or not, Brian was worse than the guy we're looking for. Brian started off with a 0, then a +5. There was a +11 and a +1 in there as well, but he finished up with a -80 in the +/- column. So the guy we're looking for is not as bad as Brian  Hints:~LW ~played for 3 teams during his NHL career, including the CH

Hints:~LW ~played for 3 teams during his NHL career, including the CH Scott Thornton? Turner Stevenson? Neither, nor. [And still not Brian Savage ;D] Hints:~He must not have found us Canadians very friendly... because after his stint with the CH [and the farm team] he went home for 5 years and played hockey over there... ~He was also a member of his country's Olympic team during those 5 years.

Trivia question:He never had a +/- that was on the positive side of the fence. And he was bad... really, really bad. -50 in the +/- Who is he? Yes! The next hint was going to be Sweden  Patric played a grand total of 7 games with the CH; after returning from his stint in Sweden he played for the Predators and the Ducks. *** How good are your powers of observation? This is something I've noticed over the last half-dozen games... Trivia question:During the playing of the national anthem, two CH players are not busy doing the NHL Player Shuffle. Who are they?

Yes, now do me a favour and go remove my last name from your post, ok? Merci beaucoup! Hey, if it makes the newspaper, then it's trivia. I quote from the article that Skilly sent me from The Telegram, dated Nov. 11, 2009: "We were doing the NHL thing, like this," Cammalleri said, shuffling busily from one foot to the other. "Well, our coach, Craig Clark, came into the room afterward and just laid into us:
"He said: 'I don't know who you guys think you are, but this is your country. You stand still when that song plays and you look at that flag'."*** There is another guy who respects our flag. Let's see if we can figure it out before tomorrow's game, shall we? [watch him forget to stand still tomorrow... ] I'll give you a hint, because I *can* be nice like that Hint:~he's not Canadian |

While we're waiting for the second answer to the question "who does not do the NHL Player Shuffle during the playing of the national anthem", here is a question that BLNY should find a little less trivial Trivia question #2:And we have another winner in the -80 +/- stat category... geez, there's more than I thought. This young man is now the head coach for his former junior team. And this is where is gets weird... according to Wiki, even though they have this team listed in his Career Stats, he played 0 games with them. Very strange... Who is he? |

Not Gill. But you're going in the right direction. It could either be an American or a defenseman ;D |

Though I'm not sure he was the guy you were thinking of, Andrew Cassels was our first round pick in 1987. In the 1989-90 season he scored his first goal on his first shot on his first shift. Take a look at THAT mullet. ourhistory.canadiens.com/player/Andrew-Cassels |
