2016-17 NHL Season

[PalaceGun]

1000 games for Brian Gionta.
Third smallest player to make it to 1000.
Well done.

Still looking for the answer for number two. T Fleury is the smallest.

Hint #1: A very apt nickname

Start working on that beard Catfish Alley

Biggy Smalls.

 

[PalaceGun]

Didn't get to 1000 games, too slow on the backcheck apparently.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Knowing you it was a Montreal champion of some sort.

A better than one in six chance.
59 out of the 306 "1000 NHL game players" played for Montreal at some point.

Hint #2

Had a much older brother who was a decent player.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Gump worsley

Henri Richard

Gump worsley

Almost, 867 NHL games, the same height as Henri Richard (5'7").

 

[scottyjc]

Brodziak was the one I looked up and saw - Pronger was the one I was referencing also!

 

[iluvparis]

Only two players from the last Oilers' playoff team are still in the NHL.

Ales Hemsky and ?

Edit - would never have got Greene

 

[iluvparis]

From memory Hemskey scored an absolute peach of a goal at the start of the third in Game 7 to give the Oilers some life.

 

[PalaceGun]

Looks like Tkachuk is going to have a busy night.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Ha! Iginla fighting in Calgary and drawing some blood.

 

[melbournemartin]

Tough night for the Pens but proud of the fight shown in the third.

Got Rowney centering a second line. Injuries are hitting pretty bad.

Quick tip to playoff teams lining up against the caps this year.

Stay out of the box. Their power play is unreal

In the top 3 or 4 I think. Their PK is strong too. Hardly a bold prediction, but got a feeling it could be their year. Ovi deserves a shot at the cup.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Crap. Avs scored straight away. Sorry if I jinxed you!

That is one of our problems in the past. The officials are a bit more lenient in playoffs and we still struggle at times to score 5 on 5

Our PK could be better too. Tommy is probably our best on the PK but it's usually him in the box

Gump worsley

That reminded me of this tweet I saw the other day:


Made me laugh. This happened, it wasn't Gump , in my road hockey games when i was about ten, the guy was probably about 40, "not quite right" but a brick wall and super serious, never saw him again after about three performances. He commentated during play and referred to himself as John Garrett!

 

[catters078]

Big win for the Hurricanes.

Still alive

They haven't lost in sixty minutes for 13 games.
A new Whalers' record.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Thanks Winnipeg!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Preds fail to knock out LA.
