Hockey Trivia Quiz # 39

Ross ended up at the hospital (puck to the face).

Dallas won a Stanley Cup since its move.

Crawford won the award in his first year with the Avalanche. Colorado won the Stanley Cup in the 1995-96 season. After the Avalanche, he went back to be the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks in 1999. The Jack Adams award was named after Red Wings coach, Jack Adams.

The Islanders won the first 4 games, then lost the next 3, then won the last game.

Germany advanced by beating the heavily favoured Slovakian team 3-0. They would beat Austria 3-2, and would move on past Latvia 4-1. Germany went 3-0-0 in the tournament, but would lose the next three games to Czech Republic 6-1, Canada 3-2, and then Sweden 7-1. Germany went on to lose to the United States 5-0 in the medal round.

Anyone who has seen the 1972 Summit Series (and who is Canadian, especially) would say that there was simply no greater moment in hockey than when Paul Henderson scored the 'Goal heard round the World' to complete the comeback and give Team Canada the victory in overtime. That goal is so etched in Canadian Hockey History that many would say that it is unthinkable that Henderson's goal could ever be matched or surpassed - and I'm not saying this one did - but Lemieux's goal at 18:34 of the third period (which is for all intents and purposes OT) taken from Wayne Gretzky to win the series 6-5 (which by the way all three games finished in the finals) was about as close as you can get to the incredible drama and joy realized in 1972! Lemiuex reached super-stardom after this tournament as he scored 4 game-winning goals including this one. The 'Great One', still led all in scoring with 21 points, and as mentioned he set-up Lemiuex's game-winner so he was still 'The Man' if you ask me-but Lemiuex had an awesome series and finished up with 18 points right behind Gretzky. It was in this series that Mario Lemiuex truly earned the right to be called 'Magnificent' and he went on to lead the Pens to a couple of Stanley's Cups to add to this Canada Cup before he retired due to illness.

Even though it weighs 6 ounces, the puck can be shot between 90 and 100 m.p.h., and some shots have reached above 100. At the 2002-2003 All-Star Skills Competition, Al MacInnis of the St. Louis Blues won the hardest shot contest with a 98.9 m.p.h. slap shot.

He later switched to 19 when he went to Colorado.

Lemieux had an end-of-warmup ritual of shooting the puck into the opposing net. So Phila turned the net around before skating off. The Canadians turned it back so Lemieux could shoot. Then all hell broke loose. Ed "Boxcar" Hospodar and others came running onto the ice from the dressing room, some just in shorts and socks.

Conn Smythe was offered the position, but declined.
