Games and Puzzles thread - Devils trivia and beyond

[Better Call Sal]

1. I played in Hockey East.
2. I play defense.
3. My rookie season was very promising, however I didn't develop much after that.
4. I was acquired by the Devils after the lockout.
5. I am longer playing hockey.

Which one? haha

 

[Better Call Sal]

Wow, Fahey? Would've never guessed his rookie season was promising.

Wow, Fahey? Would've never guessed his rookie season was promising.

I would've been upset if I was stumped at my own game.

Who Am I?

1. My career has been interrupted by two lockouts
2. I have played for seven professional teams.
3. In my entire professional career, I've only played in the playoffs three different seasons.
4. I played for this team that an ex-Devils coach now is involved in.
5. An ex-Devil was drafted in both the round before and after me.
6. I was drafted in the same round as a current captain.

I will leave it at that. This is pretty hard, but see if you can get it before looking it up, because one clue obviously gives you a 1/30 chance of getting it right.

I forgot to add this. By Devils coach, I'm not talking only about head coaches. If you look at some of the clues the right way, then you should be able to get it, or at least have an idea. The amount of first round picks that are captains is a lot more then I thought.

I wanna say its Clemmensen, but I'm not sure about the 4th clue

 

[KohoDonuts88]

Dave Farrish was an assistant with the Devils in the early 90s, and until a day or two ago, was an assistant with the Leafs.

Matt Shaw....

Coach/General Manager of the Dubuque Fighting Saints, it says on his wikipedia page he played for them in 95-96.

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

Jiri Bicek

Did you find that out from research or by just thinking yourself.

 

[KohoDonuts88]

Did you find that out from research or by just thinking yourself.

It had to be a Euro, likely mid-to late 90s draft. My first two thoughts were Bicek or Salomonsson. Confirmed by research.

I figured it out, I'll see if anyone else gets it.

At first the last clue threw me off but then when I figured it out I had a good laugh.

I also figured out the next two players I will be doing.

Steve Bernier??? Oh year, he's hasn't left yet and played in the Q

Jason Wiemer

1. 96pts for the Portland Winterhawks in 93-94
2. Drafted 8th overall by Tampa that year
3. Played center
4. Played 16 games in 05-06
5. Scored 11 in 99-00 and 01-02 for Calgary and Florida
6. WIENER!!!! Although I don't remember the announcers (though I can imagine Chico) flubbing his name. Somebody have a link?

 

[Zippy316]

That's who I had, and I'm guessing Koho will confirm it but that is right.

Who Am I?

1. I was a captain last year.
2. My only goal as a Devil was pretty special.
3. I did not sign with the Devils.
4. I was not drafted by the Devils.
5. The Devils were my shortest stint with an NHL team.
6. I've been to two Cup finals, once as a captain and lost both times (Well, since I worded it this way, he technically made a "Cup" final three times, losing all three).
7. I was drafted 18 picks ahead of an NJ native, who I was also teammates with during the lockout.

For the NJ native, I've always heard he's from NJ but I guess he wasn't born in NJ. Whatever, most will familiarize him with New Jersey anyways.

The amount of clues makes this one easy to look up, but I'm curious to see if anyone gets it off the top of their head.

I looked it up but probably could have got it from clue number 2. One of the funniest goals ever.

 

[Better Call Sal]

This is one I thought I'd be able to easily research and yet I'm still stumped. . Something must be throwing me off. I have one guess, but don't think it's right.

Just think about number two

 

[Devilsfan992]

I'll give a clue.

8) We could have really used his "unique skill", especially this season.

I don't know if you've noticed but I always add in there little fun facts like the 6 and 7th one, even though I highly doubt anyone will ever get them. It's more or less to make sure there is no repeats, but sometimes I see these and I find them interesting.

Good job.

Wiemer was part of a line dubbed the "Dobermans", alongside Erik Rasmussen and Cam Janssen. Mike Emrick took great joy every time they stepped on the ice.

I'm pretty stumped on this. I even went through all the players who have one goal in both the regular season and playoffs.

In regards to #2, was this goal within the last 15 years?

That's exactly what I did too.

I remember the Dobermans and I knew Cam was apart of it, but I forgot that Wiemer was.
