dlbalr Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Blair Betts Unofficially this is true although the NHL later on reversed the transaction (in essence, making it that it never happened). I'll rephrase: Name the last player that the Habs acquired off of waivers (that was not later reversed by the league) that did not actually play a single game for the team. Quote

No one else wants to take a shot at this one? It wasn't all that long ago that this happened (beyond the reversed Betts pickup). Quote
lazy26 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 No one else wants to take a shot at this one? It wasn't all that long ago that this happened (beyond the reversed Betts pickup). All I can recall is Leighton. Quote
dlbalr Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 All I can recall is Leighton. Yep, that's who it is. He dressed for one game as the backup but did not play. If anyone wants to go one step further, name the last player claimed off waivers (non-rescinded) by the Habs that did not play or dress for a game. (You don't have to go much further back in time...)

dlbalr Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 I'm down to more or less random stuff now - there's the final part to the waiver question above or you can tackle this one. Three Swedish-born players have suited up for the Habs without ever recording a point. Name them. Quote

dlbalr Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 hmmm Nigel Dawes? Dawes was acquired via trade (part of the Sopel acquisition) and played 4 games with Montreal. Quote
JoeLassister Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I'm down to more or less random stuff now - there's the final part to the waiver question above or you can tackle this one. Three Swedish-born players have suited up for the Habs without ever recording a point. Name them. Andreas Engqvist Patrick Kjellberg I give up for the 3rd one. Quote
dlbalr Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 Andreas Engqvist Patrick Kjellberg I give up for the 3rd one. Both of those are correct. The third one played for the Habs the same year Kjellberg did. Funny enough, Kjellberg had a half-decent run in the NHL when he was brought back to North America by Nashville, he picked up a couple of 40+ point years when they were an expansion team. Quote

Never thought he was Swedish... Quote
dlbalr Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 hahaha Patric Carnback. Never thought he was Swedish... That's #3. New question: Name the active NHL team that the Habs have the highest goals scored per game average against. Quote
Trizzak Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 That's #3. New question: Name the active NHL team that the Habs have the highest goals scored per game average against. Total guess, but Tampa? Quote
dlbalr Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 Total guess, but Tampa? Out of the 29 other current teams, there are only four other teams the Habs score less against than them. That surprises me as I'd have thought they'd be near the top of the list. Quote
revvvrob Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 how about the Caps? might be ancient history, but as a new expansion team, Habs cleaned up on them - perhaps enough that the average remains high? Quote
dlbalr Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 how about the Caps? might be ancient history, but as a new expansion team, Habs cleaned up on them - perhaps enough that the average remains high? Nope. They're in the upper half but not the team that Montreal scores more per game against than anyone else. Quote
Trizzak Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I'll go one more guess then and try the Rangers. Quote
dlbalr Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 I'll go one more guess then and try the Rangers. They're 9th. Quote
Seb Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Florida? If not, it's gotta be a not-too-old Western Conference team who are usually bad. Columbus? Quote
dlbalr Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Florida? If not, it's gotta be a not-too-old Western Conference team who are usually bad. Columbus? Shockingly, there are only three active teams that the Habs score less against per game than the Panthers. As for Columbus, the Habs average 2.00 goals per game against them, less than any other team (active or defunct). Québec Nordiques. The site I'm using combines older teams with their new ones (Whalers + Hurricanes, Jets (old) + Coyotes, Thrashers + Jets (new), etc) so I can't break down the numbers before the move to Colorado. They are, however, in the top-10 including defunct teams but not at the top. Quote
dlbalr Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Boston Booins ? If only. I don't have the page open at the moment but I know it's not them (or any other Original 6 team to provide a hint). Quote
dlbalr Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Ottawa senators? They're second from the bottom in terms of active teams (they only score less per game vs Columbus). That comes as a bit of a surprise to me. Quote
