Stéphane did indeed only play 3 games for us, but where he's a goalie, does he really "get" points? I realize we get points for the win, but are they considered the goalie's points or the team's points? Either way, it wasn't Stéphane I was looking for  They do indeed get points for assists and, on rare occasions, goals. Fiset didn't get either in those three games he is credited for. |

Hints:~played 15 seasons with the CH ~won 6 Stanley Cups with the CH (the last one was shortly after I was born ] Serge Savard - Montreal Rocket ? No, it was Ralph Backstrom and he founded the Colorado Eagles of the Central Hockey League. Other Ralph facts: ~won 6 SC: 1959, 1960, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969 ~was an assistant coach with the LAK ~was also the founder and commissioner of Roller Hockey International en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_Hockey_International*** Ok, my coworker who either: a) doesn't show up or b) falls asleep at her desk... is leaving on Friday. I can see my workload being a little nuts over the next few weeks. So I will take an "Olympic Break" and return with trivia in March. In the meantime, I will post "Olympic Thoughts" in a new thread.

It looks like it is a Commonwealth Games competition ... but we always do better than way better than 7 medals in it.
In the 1966 Commonwealth Games (Kingston, Jamaica) the results we as follows:
1: England 33G - 24S - 23B = 80
2 Australia 23G - 28S - 22B = 73
3. Canada 14G - 20S - 23B = 57
4 New Zealand 8G - 5S - 13B = 26
The country that had what you say Canada had was actually Wales ... 3G - 2S - 2B
I think the worse we have ever done in the Commonwealth Games is 40 medals or so ... I can check if you like

Trivia question:Current Hab. He says he owes his improved English to episodes of Family Guy. Who is he? Hint:He was at the Olympics. So the answer is Jaroslav Halak. Yes, he has a dry sense of humour, but he's nowhere near as bad as Brian Trying to remember if I got the info from a Mike Boone article or a Dave Stubbs' article. Either way, I did get it through Habs I/O. Other tidbits from the article included: ~Jaro's greatest weakness: chocolate milk ~Jaro's best friend on the team: his glove... he did go on to say that he got along with everyone ;D *** Trivia question:This former Hab holds the record for most goals in a season for a D and most goals in a season for a rookie D. Not in the same year, obviously. Both are CH records, not NHL records. Who is he?
