Hockey Trivia

Not the answer, but I always found it amusing that Chris Pronger and Joffrey Lupul were twice involved with trades for each other.

Yep!

Not sure if I answered this question earlier in the thread, but the two players are Randy Wood and Benoit Hogue.

Pretty well known but Craig McTavish was the last NHLer to play sans helmet

A couple more bits of trivia:

Who is the only player in history to score a professional goal before scoring a goal in Major Junior?
Who is the only NHL player to be traded for a loonie?

Both Kris Draper

Who was the last goalie to lead the NHL with less than 40 wins in a non-lockout shortened season?

Pretty sure that's Carey Price.

The Buffalo Sabres traded Ray Sheppard to the New York Rangers for one US dollar.

The I believe Guy Lafleur was the 2nd last player to go helmetless ir was it Harold Snepsts?

Doug Wilson?

Doug Wilson always looked, to me, like he belonged on the dancefloor at Studio 54.

 

[c9777666]

Pretty sure that's Carey Price.

The one year he led the league in wins was with 45 in his Hart Trophy year IIRC.

Before Phil Esposito in 1968-69, which NHL player came the closest to scoring 100 points in a season?

 

[crobro]

Bobby hull?

 

[Leafsdude7]

Bobby hull?

Stan Mikita, too, I believe. Both had 97 points, one in 1966-67 and the other in 1967-68, if my memory serves. Dickie Moore was the next closest, getting 94 (?) in the late 50s.

 

[JaymzB]

I looked it up. Him and Luongo tied for the lead in 2010-11 with 38 wins.

 

[c9777666]

Who was the first team to force a game 7 down 0-3 in a best-of-seven series?

Hint- it wasn't the 1942 Maple Leafs

 

[reckoning]

Who were the first two brothers in NHL history to play on different teams in the same season, and both lead their respective teams in points?

It's not the Bentleys in 47-48, because 6 of Max's points came before he was traded to Toronto, so he wasn't the Leafs point leader.

 

[Jumptheshark]

The Buffalo Sabres traded Ray Sheppard to the New York Rangers for one US dollar.

Kris Reaper from jets to wings as well

 

[Sanf]

Doug Wilson?

Maybe. There were five players regularly playing without helmet in 92-93. I don´t know who was the last. Wilson, Rod Langway, Brad Marsh, Randy Carlyle and McTavish.

I said regularly because there was brief time that season when they made helmets optional again. To my knowledge Greg Smyth from Flames was the only one who decided not to use helmet, but that lasted only few games.

I'm pretty sure it HAS to be the Bure brothers, when Valeri was a Flame and Pavel a Panther.

No clue about the exact season though. 99 or 00.

No. The Bures did do it, but they weren't the first.

In 1970-71, the Boston Bruins had the top 4 scorers that season.

Who was the highest-scoring non-Bruin in the '71 season (ie #5 scorer that year)?

Which two siblings have combined for the most goals in NHL history?

Wayne and Brent?

 

[crobro]

Wayne and Brent?

Correct

 

[reckoning]

The Gretzkys have the most points, but the Richards and Hulls have more goals.

 

[MXD]

No. The Bures did do it, but they weren't the first.

... Heh, I think I just figured out. Both siblings were arguably the "lesser" players in their family, right?
