Gerry Melnyk?

Yes sir

 

[Captain Bowie]

Thought this was worthy of a bump, as I was asked a good question the other day.

Name the 2 pairs of brothers that had 1 play in the NHL and one play in the CFL.

 

[bigbuffalo313]

I'm going to guess the Conacher's are one but I have no idea about the other

 

[Chris Phifer]

Well one is obviously Ryan and Chris Getzlaf. I'm not really sure about the other one??

Who scored the first ever overtime penalty shot goal, and who was the goalie?

Sorry to bump my own Q, but I thought I'd give hints.

The scorer was the first ever draft pick in his franchise's history, and went on to play just over 900 games with them.

The goalie was, at the time, a backup. Playing for the team that he previously lost to in the Stanley Cup finals in his only finals appearance, and backing up the goalie that he lost to in those finals.

The two teams playing were the two teams that played against each other the night that Wayne Gretzky had his last career 5-point game.

Brett and Bart Hull

Well done!

(assuming that you also knew the easy ones previously mentioned).

David Legwand and Kirk McLean?

Yessir! My hints might have made it too obvious, huh

 

[KMart27]

Yessir! My hints might have made it too obvious, huh

I had no idea without the hints. Probably should have just given the first two hints. The one about Gretzky made it much easier to figure out.

Bonus: Rick Rypien's cousin Mark played in the NFL, and was named Superbowl MVP

Another CFL/NHL question.

Only player to play in the Grey Cup and Stanley Cup Finals in the same season (Grey Cup in November and then the Cup Finals following Spring).

I think its a Leaf from the 30's. Can't recall his name. I think he was named Canada's best athlete for the first half of the century.

Not Lionel Conacher, though he did win both the Grey Cup and the Stanley Cup, though years apart. A little later than his time.

Gerry or Gary James...

Too lazy to href it.

Gerry or Gary James...

Yup! I have the pleasure of knowing him personally. Is a member at a golf course I used to work at. Got to meet Brian Williams too when he came to do a story on James for the 100th Grey Cup.

Who was the first goalie to be replaced during a game in NHL history, and when did happen?

Who was the first goalie to be replaced during a game in NHL history, and when did happen?

Deliberately, that wouldve been Art Ross in 1931 in the Semi-Finals against Montreal when he pulled the Goalie & added an extra attacker. However I think what your asking is when was the first Goalie pulled for playing badly, poor performance yes? For that we get into the more modern era, introduction of the 2 Goalie system.

No, much earlier.

was it in when the GM had to go in and play net? I am thinking patrick

... hmmmm. Ok. We talking being pulled for an extra attacker or being pulled because of poor performance & replaced with a backup? And its pre-1931 but NHL era so 1917/31 yes? Dont wanna cheat & go lookin for it, but that was my answer above, first thing popped into my head; Art Ross pulling Tiny Thompson for an extra attacker. Teams only carried one Goalie back then (and for a long time after) so unless its an injury or illness & fill-in, Im unaware of any replacement due to poor performance and not even sure if the Rules permitted it back then.

Plenty of injury fill-ins before that, as well as a number of players playing goal while a goalie served a penalty.

It's still earlier than this as well.

We're looking for a goalie being pull during a game, and replaced by another goalie.
