He still looks the same, just with less hair:  Tom had 45 pts in his rookie year and 30 PIM, 30 pts and 36 PIM in his sophomore year. Do all these guys go through a sophomore slump? That was rhetorical, btw. *** Trivia question:Current Hab. Who wears a brace on his left knee when he's actually playing hockey? As far as I know, he does not wear it off the ice...

I'd say Mara simply because you say "when he's actually playing hockey" Let me rephrase that: When he plays hockey, he wears a brace on his left knee. Who is he? PS: Hah! Your observation is funny, because I didn't think of it that way... but you're going in the right direction, even though it was by accident ;D

Hints:~he started playing 5 years after Roman did ~but he is not 5 years younger than Roman WHBB .... Btw, Andrei Markov played his 600th game against Los Angeles on Saturday. Indeed! On both counts: ~it took Hal Gill 8 seasons to reach the 600th career NHL game mark. All games played were with the Bruins. In 97-98, he also played 4 games with the Providence Bruins-AHL. ~it took Andrei Markov 9 seasons. Mind you, he played 26 games with the Quebec Citadelles-AHL in the 2000-01 & 2001-02 seasons. All 600 games were played with the CH. *** I'm currently reading a book about Sidney Crosby. Why, you ask? Hometown boy, enough said. In it, they mention one of our boys... Trivia question:Current Hab. In a preseason game in his rookie year, Crosby "overpassed the puck and got dumped on his rear trying to take on defenceman [insert name here]." I would have paid money to see that, tee hee! Who is the D?

Hint:Alphabetical multiple choice: Michael Cammalleri Brian Gionta Scott Gomez Tomas Plekanec Match up the names to the SOG. And Guillaume Latendresse... the more I look at his stats, the more bummed out I get [easy solution: stop looking ]. In 23 games played with us, he had 27 SOG; in 44 games with the Wild, he has 118 SOG. Why couldn't he have sucked?

My fav player of all time No... but I did find his hockey card in one of the packs I bought yesterday while waiting to meet the other 2 guys ~Patrice Brisebois (who was sooooo freakin' nice! I had a notion that he was a grumpy bear, so that was a nice surprise) ~Stéphane Richer (who was vehemently denying all knowledge of "Battle of the Blades" ;D) (he also mentioned something about coming back to NS in April... will need to keep on the lookout for news of that)

Because I wanted to see if the Leafs would win last night (which they did not and may I ask why they didn't play that way on Saturday? sigh...), I got to thinking how many players we've had who've eventually gone on to play for the Leafs. There are many, but let's narrow it down to the following criteria: Trivia question:Since the NHL went to 26 teams, name 7* players who immediately went from the CH to the Maple Leafs. I knew two off the top of my head. *there may be more than 7, but I have issues with math Bonus trivia question:Name the Maple Leafs player who immediately went from there to the CH. |
