NHL Trivia

[MiniMark 7]

Hey all, with the NHL Season scheduled to begin on October 5, 2005 I thought it would be appropriate to re-create an NHL Trivia. Originally this was thought of by brentford but I will acknowledge the fact he created this trivia game first. Thanks brentford.

Without all due to respect it would be wise to go over the rules that I have for this game.

 

New Rule: First player who answers the question correct will receive 10 points. There will be no point deductions taken away for wrong answers, however you may only answer once until at least someone else has answered the question or I have said your incorrect. You

I would say 3, but since the Nordiques left my city, I'm no longer following hockey...

Correct. The Colorado Avalanche won the Presidents Trophy in 2001 while winning the Stanley Cup for the 2nd time in history with Raymond Borque finally winning it all.

 

zmveliger...10 pts

 

Question 2.

 

Which NHL Arena is the oldest in the league and possibly the biggest problem of this franchise. Bonus: When did the arena open?

[louisville327 0]

Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh opened in 1961. It is the oldest in the NHL, and Pittsburgh's reluctance to build a new arena might force the Penguins to move to another city.

Correct. Hopefully the team stays as it is my favourite NHL Team. Since I made a mistake in question 1 the correct answer is 5 not 3. However I will award zmveliger the full points.

 

Louisville327...10pts+5pts=15pts

zmveliger...10 pts

 

Question 3. What has been called the most famous goal ever scored?

[louisville327 0]

I would say it was Bobby Orr's goal against St. Louis in the 1970 Stanley Cup Finals.

[MiniMark 7]

I'm sorry that is wrong. Although that would be a famous goal to remember!

[louisville327 0]

Interesting, since there was a book written about it that called the goal the most famous in history. I have a copy of it on my book shelf.



Just sayin'.

[MiniMark 7]

I believe you 100% that it could be argued as one of the most famous goal but its not what I was looking for. Either way I will be generous and let you have another shot.

PS For a huge hint it happened at least 10 years before i was born (sometime in the 70's)

Well, I am gonna give it a go and guess that the mascot belongs to the Calgary Flames.......For some reason it's the hat that tips it off for me...

Correct. Harvey the Hound as he is well known as the Calgary Flames Mascot. However I can't reward you the bonus points since you didn't answer the bonus. However 5 pts are up for grab to the first member to answer this bonus. Who pulled his tongue out?

It's perfectly fine if you get the answer from the net. That's where some I get some questions and some pictures that you and others will be seeing in upcoming questions. Be forewarned questions will get harder.

[dhoppeii 12]

Well then, I will take the 5 bonus points as it was Mr. McTavish........

Welcome to the game Weird. That sounds weird. lol. Anyway Yes Weird you are correct. Because Montreal and Boston have played each other more than any other time in the playoffs, Toronto and Detroit because they are 2 of the original 6 teams. Edmonton and Calgary, the elusive battle of Alberta. 4 The Battle of Ontario and for 5...hmmm Well never thought of these two teams as a rival but with some research they have played each other in the playoffs a fair number of times. So agreed. Correct.
