Here's a sure winner for drinks at the bar...(said the guy from BYU)

What are the five "types" of goals that can be reflected in an NHL boxscore and who is the only person that has scored all five types in a single game?

Power Play
Even Strength
Short Handed
Penalty Shot

and I am stumped for the last one but going to guess:

Unassisted

As for who has done it all in the same game....I could write a program at work to find out but off the top of my head:

Gretzky

Was the unassisted wrong? If so, I guess now you could say shootout goal since they added that this season.

No, unassisted does not count...think late in the game...

the last way a player can score is of course, the empty netter.

Game winning goal...

They've all been listed: even strength, power play, shorthanded, penalty shot and empty net. I suppose now you could add shoot-out goal.

Who's the only guy to score all 5 in the same game...and it's not Gretzky.

Definitely Mario Lemieux with the PP, SH, Even, Penalty Shot, and Empty Netter all in one game

Nice job...I'll find you at an Arapahoe game this spring, perhaps when they play my alma-mater, Columbine.

Ha, sounds good. This trivia stuff is like crack... thanks Hogan. I wouldn't object to someone putting up some random stuff like this in the future... and often. I kill a lot of time during the day on here, ha.

I've some more hockey trivia. This one's a rather easy one if you know your stuff, it might trip some people up though.


Who is the only player to score six goals in one game?

Joe Malone once scored 7 in a game in like 1920.

I would wager that 6 goals in one game has been done a number of times.

So what Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in 1 game.

I should've been more specific, Who is the only person to score six times in a game in the NHL, there has only been one.
