Hockey Trivia

[Tim Whitehead]

Are you guys answering all of these questions with knowledge gained over the years or by using Google? Props if you've soaked it in over time.

Chris, I'm Canadian, this is what I grew up studying. Now, you try me on US college football and all 'll give you is a blank stare.

It is almost similar to us in the Southwest/South that we are rabid football fans (high school/college/professional). In Canada, they eat, drink, sleep and live hockey. Tim, does Don Cherry still rant and rave on the radio line about hockey?

[Tim Whitehead]

Don Cherry still does "Coach's Corner" every saturday during hockey season on Hockey Night in Canada. Myself, I wouldn't be crushed if he took his tired old act and walked into the sunset with it.

The player that died I believe was Bill Masterton. I think he played for the North Stars.

CORRECT: Got the opponent?

The 1968 expansion teams were:

St. Louis Blues
Los Angeles Kings
Minnesota North Stars
Philadelphia Flyers

and I think...

Pitssburgh Penguins
California Golden Seals

CORRECT:California originally was the Oakland Seals.

The 74-75 expansion teams were (I think) NY Islanders and Washington Capitals.

CORRECT:Washington is correct. Still need the other team that the Capitals came in with.
What year did the Islanders enter the NHL?

The WHA franchises added were the Edmonton Oilers, QuÈbec Nordiques, Winnipeg Jets, and Hartford Whalers.

CORRECT

The Blue Jackets name is a Civil War reference, I believe.

CORRECT:The team owner is a big Civil War buff (GO UNION!) and his favorite color is blue. (Still does not excuse the hideous logo and mascot.)

The team that lost 3 straight Stanley Cups was the St. Louis Blues and their coach was Scotty Bowman.

CORRECT

[Tim Whitehead]

Okay, I think the team that came in with Washington was Kansas City, or perhaps Cleveland. And the Islanders then I believe came in in 1972.

Kansas City came in with the Caps. Atlanta (Flames) and Long Island came into being at the start of the 1972-73.

Vancouver and Buffalo entered the league in 1971-72.

[Tim Whitehead]

Vancouver and Buffalo's first season was actually 1970-71.

[BigheadTodd]

2 teams have wone the cup in the montreal Forum. Who were they?

Bobby Hull and Gordie played together on what team?

Right. Copy and paste is not always the way to go.

2 teams have wone the cup in the montreal Forum. Who were they?

One team was the 1988-89 Calgary Flames, 4-2 on games. I remember being frustrated by not being, as hard as I tried, to grow the Lanny McDonald 'stache in grade 10.

Bobby Hull and Gordie played together on what team?

The WHA's Winnepeg Jets and Hartford Whalers. I noticed in Hartford, earlier this past summer, that they are remodeling the Mall in Hartford.
