Excellent 'jump to mind' answer. I knew I should have toughened this question up.
What unusual distinction is shared by these (and only these) teams from history, listed in reverse chronological order?
Who scored the shortest game 7 OT goal in playoff history?
Skrudland, against the Flames in 1986 I believe. Took something like 13 seconds.
That was a game 2. I'm talking about game 7's
Who scored the shortest game 7 OT goal in playoff history?
Speaking of Game 7 OT's...
1) Justin Williams became just the 4th player to factor in the scoring of 2 different Game 7 OT goals (he assisted on the one this year, and the one in 2014 with LA). The 1st player was pre-expansion---George Gee, both times with Detroit---but who were the other 2 players to do this? Hint: the other 2 players scored one, assisted on another
2) Who were the only 3 players whose Game 7 OT goal was unassisted? Hint: one was in the '80s, one in the '90s, and one in the 2010's.
Rise thread!
Which three players made their official NHL debuts outside of North America?
There must be more than 3 because in 1997 in Japan alone, Mattias Ohlund, Dave Scatchard, and Espen Knutsen all made their NHL debuts.
Wayne Gretzky played in 49 arenas, he was pointless in only one. Which one?
Springfield Civic Center 11/17/79. Hartford Civic Center had some construction going on so the Whalers played in Springfield. It was a 4-0 victory for the Whalers.I'm going to guess Nashville (whatever their arena name back then was, it's Bridgestone arena today).
