A short preamble today because I'm exceptionally behind after spending the day at the office. Sigh.
Congratulations to Craig Anderson, the Florida Panthers' backup goaltender who stopped ninety-three shots in back-to-back 1-0 shutouts! More on Craig in this week's trivia.

CORRECT ANSWERS TO GOALTENDER TRIVIA #12.19:
TWO-POINT QUESTION: Name the National Hockey League goaltender who recently moved into fourth place on the league's all-time regular season win list.
CORRECT ANSWER: Calgary Flame Curtis Joseph recorded his 448th regular season league victory on March 1, 2008. The sixteen save, 3-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes put Joseph ahead of Terry Sawchuk on the wins leader board.
THREE-POINT QUESTION: Earlier this season, this goaltender set a record (since tied) in becoming the lowest draft pick ever to later play in the National Hockey League. Name him.
CORRECT ANSWER: Brian Elliott, selected 291st overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2003 entry draft, started this season on the Ottawa roster while Ray Emery recovered from offseason wrist surgery. Elliott made his league debut on October 10, stopping 28 Atlanta shots in a 3-1 win. Detroit defenseman Jonathan Ericsson has since tied Elliott's mark.
FIVE-POINT QUESTION: In the last National Hockey League instance of a goaltender crossing the centre red line (legally) in an attempt to score, this netminder was rocked by a Jean-Claude Tremblay bodycheck. Name him.
CORRECT ANSWER: Gary "Suitcase" Smith may have only played five games for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but this one will be remembered for awhile. Smith claims that he made his mad dash into history because he figured that he'd be sent back to the minor leagues anyhow. The "Gary Smith rule" is section (i) of Rule 31.
PICTORAL QUESTION: Name the following goaltender:
CORRECT ANSWER: Chris Terreri played sixty-eight games for the San Jose Sharks in the mid-1990s before being sent to Chicago in the Ed Belfour trade. The five-foot-nine netminder, used to sharing duties in New Jersey, was thrust into the spotlight on a weak Sharks team, going 19-39-4 in the teal and black.

Mark Calandra and Tom Mascioli use perfect weeks to spring to the front of the pack this week, holding a slim two-point lead over the field.
Thanks to Craig Anderson for inadvertently providing me with the three pointer this week!
