NHL Trivia Season 3

[SensMan 10]

If there was ever a time to restart the STHL, it would be now. I'm in the wonderful gap between terms at university and the next week will comprise of me sitting around at home with nothing but my rec league hockey business to attend to. If you need help, you know where to find me.

[canuck3360 14]

I'll keep that in mind thanks for the offer

I've seen many of you talking about it here, so I'm curious. What is the STHL (obviously besides the Simtropolis Hockey League)?

[MiniMark 7]

Due to a scheduling conflict I will post the question now as I need to go out today and start Christmas Shopping

WW: Which NHL coach claimed his team were Fat Cats?

EE: Which NHL team surrendered the Rocket's 500th goal?

The next game will be posted Tuesday Evening between 9-10 pm EST

[tchaos713 5]

Chicago Blackhawks - Richard had a lot of luck against them, scoring his 100th, 200th, 400th and 500th goals against them.

[canuck3360 14]

Well with that answered

STHL is Back

A wild guess: Don Cherry

[MiniMark 7]

Everyone keep in mind that if a question hasnt been answered correctly will result in a tie for everyone after a week since the game was posted.

With that said tchaos713, it's good to see you back ! You are correct. Congrats

Also I have some news for personal reasons ryanb_sc4 has opted out for this season. I wish him all the best and hope he can come back when everything is better.

[beebs 129]

Aw, hope everythings ok with you, ryanb.

As for the question, I'm still working on it..

[shaggy01ca 3]

Well it's been 4 days since my last post, 2 ppl have posted so i hope i can post again. I'm sure we all wanna move on to a diffrent question already.

in the 70's Rangers GM Emile Francis called his overpaid underachievers "fat cats,"

I will say add that Francis was also a coach for a number of year in the 70's as well. My source calls him a GM not GM/Coach or Coach so hopefully this still works.

[beebs 129]

I'm not sure if yours counts because noone else has actually guessed since you last posted... so to test my luck:

Emile Francis, Coach of the NYR.

[thundercrack83 0]

Ooh, pretty slick move, there, beebs. Seems like all's fair in love and war and Simtropolis NHL Trivia!

[canuck3360 14]

I think you all missed why Emile "The Cat" Francis would call his team that

[shaggy01ca 3]

At least there were 2 posts & 4 days between my 2 guesses, I'm pretty sure that even though u didn't guess on that one post beebs that ur guess would be a 'double post'

Perhaps a Tie????

[thundercrack83 0]

I think we need a ruling. MiniMark?

[MiniMark 7]

To be fair, you shouldnt really post the same answer that someone else has regardless if they have double posted or not. As they did the research to get to this answer. However there is another "Fat Cat" i was actually looking for and all players in the West can guess once more before a tie will be in place.

Once this question has been answered or a tie has been issued a new question should appear on Boxing Day.

Edit: On Boxing Day at 3:30 PM EST a tie will be issued for the Wild West. This is in place to continue moving the season along.

Sorry man but I will be busy with the Simlympic bid I placed so I'm dropping off this season.  I had a great season last year, and hope to come back sometime this season and/or next season.

[thundercrack83 0]

I've been thinking about it and I have a suggestion, though I'm not sure if anyone would have a problem with it. In an effort to kind of keep things moving throughout the season, do you think maybe we should have a time frame (maybe 72-96 hours) to answer each question, starting from when MiniMark posts it? The next question wouldn't have to be posted immediately after the time would be up, but that would be the point where I tie would be given for that game. Once that would happen, the time stops and wouldn't start again until the next question is posted. Again, I'm not complaining or trying to step on anyone's toes or anything, I just think if might be a little helpful. Any thoughts?

[MiniMark 7]

Sorry to see ya go PD, come back any time. With the conferences back to last years numbers, the top 3 in each conference will now make the playoffs and 1st will once again will receive the bye. More details later as they progress...

I support that thundercrack, however lets wait till midseason to see where everyone stands.

[MiniMark 7]

King Clancy is who I was looking for the term fat cats as he accused the Toronto Maple Leafs of being overweight. The West will receive a tie for this question.

Here is the next question:

In NHL History there have only been 3 players who have scored 40 or more goals in 3 different seasons with 3 different teams. Name one of the players. Special Requirements: Name the teams he has played for, and the seasons he accomplished this feat.

Note: If one conference chooses one player and is correct the other conference must choose another. So your best bet is totry to find at least 2 (for backup sakes)...

The next game will be posted this weekend on Saturday Night. Updated Standings will be availabe shortly.

[thundercrack83 0]

Brendan Shanahan: 1992-93, St. Louis Blues: 51 goals; 1995-96, Hartford Whalers: 44 goals; 1996-97, Detroit Red Wings: 46 goals.

[shaggy01ca 3]

Alexander Mogilny

92-93 Buffalo - 76

95-96 Vancouver - 55

00-01 New Jersey - 43

[MiniMark 7]

thundercrack and shaggy are correct

Here is the next question:

WW: Post a picture of the arena with the largest capacity.

EE: Post a picture of the arena with the smallest cpacity.

Special Requirments: Use current capacities for arena pictures

[pilotdaryl 25]

It's Bell Centre in Montreal seating 21,273

[canuck3360 14]

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Seating Capacity-16,234

[thundercrack83 0]

So, what are the standings looking like these days?

[MiniMark 7]

I will update the standings Wednesday Night around 11:00 pm EST with a new question. Stay tuned, and it sure looks like the WW is going to be a tight race this season...

[shaggy01ca 3]

still it will probably be no where near as bad as the Northwest Division.. 4 point spread ... ish ... between 1st and 5th in the div 

[MiniMark 7]

yes that is for sure, that will come down to the wire. I'm hoping Edmonton takes it just because they need to live up the hype from last season. As long as the Av's finish last in the Northwest then it will be fine by me.

[beebs 129]

Once again, my work schedule conflicts with NHL Trivia. It seems I, as an Oil Fan, mirror the Oilers success... go the final, lose in 7 games and promptly be very mediocre the next season. *Sigh*
