BTH Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 I believe Stevie Y, but I'm not sure for how many years. Yup. It's Yzerman with Sakic in second. I think it's 19 years but I'll leave that to google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_faerie87 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 That was the fastest answer in HW Trivia history. Next question: Uh.........wow....takes my more time to think of a question than to answer one.... Got one! But it's pretty easy: Who is the player who captained the same team for the longest period of time in history? How many seasons? I'm not exactly sure about how long but I'm sure osmeone will know. Yep. You told me on MSN a long time ago and then I read in a Gazette article a couple of months ago. Yeah, everytime Kovalev scores on NHL 2001 they say that. Either that or mention that he was the 3rd leading scorer on the Rag$ during their Cup Run. Yup. It's Yzerman with Sakic in second. I think it's 19 years but I'll leave that to google. 20 if you count this year, otherwise 19. Who started the white towel craze in hockey?

Who started the white towel craze in hockey? ) — Steve Yzerman's reign as the longest serving captain in NHL history is not over yet. Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman looks up the ice with linemate Brendan Shanahan on his wing. By Jerry S. Mendoza, AP The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday re-signed Yzerman to a one-year contract, ensuring the veteran center his 19th year as team captain. Financial terms were not disclosed for Yzerman, who made $5,849,823 last season. Captain of the Red Wings since 1986-87, Yzerman recorded 18 goals and 33 assists in 75 games last season. He added three goals and two assists in 11 playoff contests before suffering an eye injury that kept him out of Detroit's final postseason game against Calgary. Selected fourth overall by the Red Wings in the 1983 draft, Yzerman has 678 goals and 1,043 assists in 1,453 career games. The 39-year-old has led Detroit to three Stanley Cup championships, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the playoffs in 1998. "We are all very pleased to have Steve back for one more year," Detroit general manager Ken Holland said. "He brings a great deal of dedication, skill and leadership abilities to our hockey club, and I feel his competitive nature will greatly help this team remain successful." Yzerman, who was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 1984, has won the Selke and Masterton Trophies and Lester B. Pearson Award during his 22-year career. He also has represented Canada in the 1998 and 2002 Olympics and the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Selected to play for Canada in this year's World Cup, Yzerman withdrew due to the eye injury he suffered in the playoffs. ) — Steve Yzerman's reign as the longest serving captain in NHL history is not over yet.

ch_nl Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Petrov, Lumme, Näslund and Svoboda. Anyway, Mats Näslund has a hockey grand slam and was the correct answer to my last question. I'll post the next question. It's a bit tricky and but should be easier for North americans. Almost every player who has won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens was born in North America. 4 was not. Whom?

ch_nl Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) The biggest tabliod is having an article series of the great NHL:ers. http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sport/story/...,756029,00.html One of the articles is about a 8-year old Stanislaus Guoth... Ok, just to pass the right to ask... In which country was Tomas Sandström born? Edited February 5, 2006 by ch_nl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Unless it is a trick question (like born in canada) he is probably from Sweden or Finland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Tomas Sandström was born where they speak Swedish and has played for Team Sweden and is a Swede. The city is called Jakobstad. And yes, Jakobstad is in Finland or Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 With a name like that, of course he's from Sweden. I thought it was a trick question too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Answer: He was born in Finland but is a Swede. Finland was once a part of Sweden and they still speak swedish in Jakobstad and Vaasa. That's why he has a swedish name. Just like Mika Hannula who will play for Sweden in Turin.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 When the Habs won the cup in 1993, they were down by 2 goals late in the game that would have ended it. Demers asked for a stick measurement and on the PP the Habs went nuts. You know the rest! Who was the player that had his stick measured?

JMMR Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Marty McSorley How many NHL teams did Paul Coffey play for, without looking it up? TEAMS not FRANCHISES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Marty McSorley How many NHL teams did Paul Coffey play for, without looking it up? TEAMS not FRANCHISES. Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Hartford + Carolina (2 teams) and a bunch more I'm sure. I'll say something like 7 or 8. 8? That's my answer.
