Who Am I?

[killer_carlson]

Rules:

1 trivia per day

If you get the right answer, you get to ask the question the next day.

Questions should be at least remotely flames related.

Be creative in your questions (Who am I? WHat number was I? Name these three players, Name the connection between these players, etc etc)

If no one gets it, then after a while you have to give hints.

Good luck;

Jim Kyte?

(I thought to myself that it has to be a guy like Jim Kyte, so I went through the draft years and low and behold... Jim Kyte works out... slighty more than 20x PIM/Pts but he played with Donovan in San Jose in 95 and 95/96)

ding ding ding...well that didn't take too long. I just happened to come across him on hockey db the other day and thought "honestly, who woudl draft this guy 12th overall?"

[Buff]

Yay! Ok, I'll look for a player and post my question later on today or early this evening.

[Buff]

Ok here it is... I hope this one isn't too easy.

I am a former Flame draftee, and linemate of Byron Ritchie. I have played only a handful of games in the NHL but have the pleasure of playing with NHL players such as Chris Phillips, Dan Boyle, Ruslan Fedotenko and Roberto Luongo but not in any NHL games. Who am I?

[evman150]

Travis Brigley.

[Buff]

I knew I made it too easy!

[evman150]

I'll come up with a question later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to poker night right now.

[Buff]

I like doing these trivia things, too bad they always die a quick death

[Patek23]

anyone want to update the question? I've been itching to try and answer one but everytime I come in here the questions already been answered.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Ask and you shall recieve!

I have played on one of the four teams that have won both the Clarence Campbell Trophy and the Prince of Whales Trophy.

I scored a OT goal to eliminate a 2 time defending Stanley Cup Championship team.

I am not North American.

I have only played for one team my entire career.

Who am I?

[Ufiti]

I've spent the last half hour trying to figure it out. My brain is sore.:fist:
I'll try again later. Great question though.

Is it David Volek?

[Buff]

I immediately thought that it had to be a Flyer because they used to play in the "west" conference. So... Thomas Eriksson?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Is it David Volek?

David Volek is correct!

Scored the goal in game 7 in 1993, to eliminate the Penguins who had won the cup in 1992 and 1991

[the_only_turek_fan]

A new one,

I have played with the St. Louis Blues organization twice.

I have scored a playoff OT goal vs. The Calgary Flames in my career.

I was the third player in a 3 player swap in the late 80's. The other two players were both goalies.

I have played over 1000 games in the NHL.

Who am I?



PS, Sorry KC, I didnt get any right I just love making up these things!

D'oh! I missed the part about eliminating a 2 time defending cup Champ!

But... when did the Islanders win the Clarence Cambell Trophy?

[Regulator75]

D'oh! I missed the part about eliminating a 2 time defending cup Champ!

But... when did the Islanders win the Clarence Cambell Trophy?
In the early 80's

The NEW YORK ISLANDERS captured the CLARENCE CAMPBELL BOWL for the third time in fours seasons, en-route to their second consecutive Stanley Cup. The ISLANDERS finished the regular season with the most points in both the Campbell Conference and the league. The surprising St. Louis Blues placed second with 107 points, three less than New York.

Yeah, I saw that before I left to go to a clients. I forgot how many changes were made in the early 80's.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Is it Geoff Courtnall?

Correct!

[KevanGuy]

Sunil, you should post the one I sent you yesterday.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Sunil, you should post the one I sent you yesterday.

This one was crazy!

I was traded from Quebec to Washington for a member of the 1985 IHL first all star team and a draft pick that would eventually become Flames property?

The draft pick never played for the Flames.

Who am I?

:confused:

*I still havent figured it out. I got the draft pick though so I am getting close ;)

[JiriHrdina]

Lee Norwood

[killer_carlson]

feel free to start a new thread each day everyone. It might help attract more attention to the game.

I have no idea who the answer is though.

Mario Gosslin is my guess

This is a tough one. I think I know who the draft pick is too. Got any hints?

EDIT: Crap, I don't know the draft pick after all!

Nope!

[KevanGuy]

Here is a hint....I was signed as a free agent twice in my career. Both times with a team in the East.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Kris, can you delete this post.

Thanks.

[the_only_turek_fan]

The draft pick that never played for the Flames is Mats Kihlstrom.

[Buff]

I'm not having much luck with this one. Could you have found anything harder? :p

[KevanGuy]

Well guys, I just double checked things here and it looks like the book I got this out of had the temas mixed up. I was traded from Washington to Quebec...sorry about that! Anyway, totf has the draft pick right and Jiri has the IHL player right.

[Regulator75]

How about a new question...

[Buff]

Tim Tookey

[KevanGuy]

And Buff is the man!

[Buff]

I was thinking of him from quite early on, but he was traded from Washington to Quebec. When you clarified the error in your book, I just knew it had to be him!

I got a couple of ideas while researching this last question. I'll see if I can come up with one before somebody else beats me to it.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Since I have nothing to do on this Friday Night, I will come up with one. This one is a bit easy.

I was traded with an American born player for a former 70 goal scorer.

I am born in Finland but, played for Sweeden in international tournaments.

I have played with Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky.

Who am I?

[JiriHrdina]

Tomas Sandstrom

[the_only_turek_fan]

Tomas Sandstrom

Told you it was easy.....

Next one. Time to make a bit harder.

I played a full 80 game season for 10 consecutive years.

I have played in the Eastern/Wales Conference my whole playing career.

I have coached in the Western/Cambpell Conference my whole NHL coaching career.

Who am I?

[Buff]

I want to say Dave Tippett in hopes that you made a mistake in your question b/c he fits all the criteria but the full 80 games for 10 consecutive years. (80 games in 5 consecutive years, 10 year career)

[the_only_turek_fan]

I want to say Dave Tippett in hopes that you made a mistake in your question b/c he fits all the criteria but the full 80 games for 10 consecutive years. (80 games in 5 consecutive years, 10 year career)

Its not Dave Tippet.

This player played for more than 10 seasons, but had a 10 season run in which he played all 80 games.

[Buff]

Wait a second! This one should be easy! and it is! Nobody has played 10 straight 80 game seasons except for.... Doug Jarvis and Steve Larmer, and Larmer played in the east and isn't a coach so I'll have to go with Doug Jarvis.

[the_only_turek_fan]

OK new one for you Buff.

I was a GM, a head coach coached and I played for the same franchise.

I played 999 career games before retiring for the first time. I came back 4 years later to play one season for the team that I first played for.

I have over 800 career points, and 1800 career PIM.

I started my career in the CPHL.

I have played for the Toronto Maple Leafs two seperate times. But I am not famous for playing for this team.

Don Cherry was my coach at one time.

I haver over 700 career points including one 100 point season when my team lost in the Stanley Cup finals.

CP quote of the year. :lol:

[the_only_turek_fan]

^ LOL

Hopefully this one is a bit more difficult.

I was claimed in the expansion draft in 1967.

I was on the last championship team for one of the original 6 teams.

I was a part of a 7 player trade that saw a member of the Cape Breton Sports Hall of Fame sent the other way. That player was inducted in to the Cape Breton Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.

I finished my career in the WHA.

Anyone else want a chance to make a question?

[Flickered Flame]

I like your questions. Keep them coming!

[Flickered Flame]

This is probably an easy one but what the hell.

This player was traded to Hartford by Toronto for a player who later played 8 games as a Flame and also played for the Wranglers.

[Regulator75]

Ted Crowley?

[Flickered Flame]

Yes its Ted Crowley.

[Regulator75]

This former NHL player coached for 6 seasons (2 different teams) , reaching the CUP finals twice but never winning it all.
It's kinda easy... Who am I?

[Buff]

Don Cherry? Does 1 playoff game qualify him as an NHL player?

[Regulator75]

Don Cherry? Does 1 playoff game qualify him as an NHL player?

You are correct!

:D In this case it does... Can't pull the wool over your eyes.

[Buff]

Ok here is mine, potentiall easy:

I played for 6 NHL teams in the 80's and early 90's. I played with a son of a former Calgary Flames coach and was even involved in the same trade that he was. Right now I have the fans of 3 teams thinking that I hate their team and cheer for the other two. At any rate, many fans think I am dumb and annoying. Who am I?

Yeah it did otherwise I had no idea.

[Buff]

In my 18 year career in the NHL I scored 30 or more goals only 3 times, but in juniors I once had more than 100 goals in a season.

Ray Ferraro?

[Buff]

Ray Ferraro?

I'm going to have to just stick to answering the questions. The questions I ask are too easy.

[Buff]

Ok, I'll try another...

Never drafted, I played in the NHL for parts of 10 seasons. I won a Stanley Cup, and was traded for a guy who started his NHL career in Alberta and ended it in Alberta on a different team.

[Buff]

Is nobody reading this thread or did I finally come up with a tough question?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Is nobody reading this thread or did I finally come up with a tough question?

I am still working on it!

This is a very good question. I guess the key is to find out the guy that started his NHL career in Alberta and ended it in Alberta on a different team.

Smith and Fuhr are the ones that came to mind for me. However none of the guys that they were traded for meet the criteria. Kent Nilsson started his career in Atlanta, so he doenst count.

I will keep working on it. Good question though.

[Buff]

I'll give a hint.

The guy I was traded for is a coach, but not at the NHL level.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Brian MacLellan?

[Flickered Flame]

Woah, tough question Buff. Sunil and I worked together on this one.

[Buff]

Brian MacLellan it is!

[Buff]

I've got another one I've been dying to try. Sorry, it isn't Flames related, but the guy played hockey just like the Flames do/did so there is your relation.

I played parts of 9 seasons in the NHL. I even scored more than 40 goals in one campaign. Alas, that is all I ever did as I never got more than 10 in any other year. I am American and played for my home team. Who am I?

[KevanGuy]

Scott Bjugstad

[Buff]

Bingo!.... I mean KevanGuy!

I get a kick out of that one anomly year he had.

[Flickered Flame]

I have more hints for this if it is to difficult.

I played in parts of 16 NHL seasons with 10 different teams. Who am I?

Michel Petit

[Flickered Flame]

Michel Petit

Yes, its Michel Petit.

[Buff]

Dang. J.J. Daigneault also played for 10 teams in 16 years. I knew it was a former Flame though, but my eyes just glazed over his name... kinda like he did on his defensive play.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Here is an easy one,

I am from the same town as a current member of the Calgary Flames.

I won more than one Stanley Cup.

Tragically, I died in a plane crash the summer after scoring the Stanley Cup winning goal.

Who am I?

[Buff]

Bill Barilko

[the_only_turek_fan]

Bill Barilko

Correct.

[Buff]

This former Flame was a Colorado Rockies draft pick who played 7 seasons in the NHL, but never played in 80 games in his career.

[the_only_turek_fan]

The only hat trick I ever scored in my career was in front of the current Queen Elizabeth of England.

I was not known for my goal scoring.

I played in 3 current NHL cities. However I have only played for one NHL team.

Nicely done! (Assuming you are right :))

Everything checks out. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid%5B%5D=4558

I thought it was Glen Anderson at first. He scored 50 only twice, won cups with both Edmonton and the Rangers but only played with the Rangers once.

Very good question Buff.

[Buff]

'Twas Richer!

We gotta get a few more peeps asking and answering questions though. This is fun, but could be so much better with more peeps.

[Flickered Flame]

This might be an easy one but oh well.

I played in 21 NHL seasons all with the same team. Finished just shy of 300 goals and scored more then 700 points. Who am I?

It wasn't very easy actually, but it wasn't the hardest. I did have to do some searching though.

George Armstrong

[Flickered Flame]

Yes, its Armstrong. Blackarcher had a good one up, maybe you can throw it back up?

[BlackArcher101]

That was actually a difficult one FF. I tried, but gave up after 30 minutes of searching.

Here's one... first time I made one of these. I'll probably have to give a hint later. I hope you guys can find the answer and remind me of what it is! ;)


Within a 7 year period, I played for 7 different NHL teams. I was a struggling defenseman and of those 7 seasons, only 4 were spent entirely in the NHL without being sent to the farm.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Dallas Eakins?

He only had one occurence where he wasn't sent down in a season.

[KevanGuy]

Paul "Suitcase" Fenton!?!

[Buff]

The closest that I can find, that hasn't been mentioned is Ken Hammond, but he doesn't quite match the criteria.

Hint please?

[BlackArcher101]

Nope and nope.

I was drafted in 1992.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Joel Bouchard?

424.85 points to you!

[the_only_turek_fan]

WOOT! WOOT!

----------------------------------------------------------

I played for an NHL record 4 teams in one season in 1991-92.

I finished my career with the Sharks, but not in the NHL.

I was traded the year team X won the Stanley Cup. 2 players that were also traded in that deal (1 going each way) eventually played for team X after they won the cup. One of those players is a CalgaryPuck poster's most hated player. This poster has more than 9000 posts.

Dave McLlwain?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Dave McLlwain?

Yes!

-------------------------------------------------

I was the starting netminder in the World Championships for 4 consecutive years, posting a 7-0-1 record in my final year, and winning the tournament.

I was on the NHL Second All-Star Team, I won the
William M. Jennings Trophy, and played in NHL All-Star Game all in the same season.

Who am I?

[Buff]

I started to research this one... screw it. I'm just gonna lay out a guess or two.

Well considering this is coming from the only turek fan i guess its fitting that the anwser is Roman Turek.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Roman Turek is correct!

:ph34r:

[Buff]

Crap! That was going to be my original answer, but I second guessed b/c he won two Jennings.

[Regulator75]

In my 15 year career, I had 9 20+ goal seasons. I once attanied a +/- of +71 during one season. Who am I?

Nope

[the_only_turek_fan]

I had a 101 point season, two seasons later I tallied 25 points in the playoffs. having played for 1 team my entire NHL career, I am currently retired...

[JiriHrdina]

John Maclean?

Denis Potvin

[Regulator75]

Denis Potvin
Ding Ding Ding! You are correct.

[Regulator75]

I was originally drafted by the Flyers, but it would be 10 years later that I actually played in the NHL. The team I played for was also in the East.
I had the size, not much skill though... One more thing, I only scored 1 goal during my NHL career.

Who am I?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Brian Tutt?

[Regulator75]

Brian Tutt?

[Buff]

I was the 3rd quickest player to score 100 goals in the NHL. Who am I?

Joe Nieuwendyk?

Here are the top 4.
Mike Bossy (129 games)
Maurice Richard (134)
Joe Nieuwendyk (144)
Wayne Gretzky (145)

[Buff]

Yessir! I figured it would be an easy one. I wasn't too sure on Selanne though b/c this is a trivia question I learned about before Selanne came to the NHL. I thought that he may have beaten Nieuwendyk's time. Good to see that that it isn't so.

[Buff]

This gentlemanly american born player had 6 consecutive 40 or more goal seasons.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Joe Mullen

[Buff]

Yes. You guys are too good:mad: At least make a few wrong guesses first! ;)

[the_only_turek_fan]

I was traded for a former Edmonton Oilers associate coach.

I am from the same town as a player that was traded in the 2005-06 season.

I was a member of the WCJHL first all-star team in 1973 and 1974.

Greg Joly it is!

[BlackArcher101]

:) Here's an easy one.

My career was off to a good start but my team couldn't compete with the american dollar. I was traded for a player become author who's book is titled "Off The Bench and Into The Game". After the trade, my career flourished and I became a 2 time winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy. Who am I?

[Buff]

BA, when did you leave the windy city for the ****ty city?

[Regulator75]

The last team I played for was the Leafs, I began my career in Montreal.
I have over 200 wins. Who am I?

I also played for 2 other teams.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I played for one team my whole entire NHL career.

The same year that Jasson Spezza was born, I was named to the all star team for the European Junior Championships.

I scored nearly 600 points in the NHL.

Who am I?

EDIT: Regulator beat me to it!

Ooooh I think i got it.

Michal Pivonka?

Pivonka is correct!

-----------------------------------------

In my final year of junior I tied a current NHL captain in league scoring.

In my second year in the IHL I scored the same number of points as my Olympic jersey number in my first 40 games before being called up to the big leagues.

My career NHL point total and PIM total are both 4 digit numbers. Both numbers have the same digits, but are re-arranged.

Ex. 123 and 321

Who am I?

[Buff]

You question reeks of Theoren Fleury but doesn't work out because his point total is 1088 and his penalty minutes are 1840.

[JiriHrdina]

No its gotta be Fleury. I think TOTF is mixing up his point totals (1088) with GP (1084)

[Buff]

I didn't even look at GP.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Yeah its Fleury.

Sorry about the mistake.

Jiri is right, I did mistake the GP with his point totals.

Theoren Fleury is the correct answer!

[Regulator75]

I once scored 55 goals in one season early in my career.
I was also on the All Rookie team (NHL).
I played for 5 different teams during my NHL career.

WHO AM I?

Jimmy Carson

[Regulator75]

Jimmy Carson
Correct!

[Buff]

I played for 5 teams. All of these teams have made it to the Stanley Cup Final at least once. Only two of these teams did it while I was playing for them, losing both times. Two of these teams have won the Stanley Cup, but not in the same season that I played for them. I've only missed the NHL playoffs 5 times. I am retired, playing my last game in the 90's.

I have NO clue.

This is a good question.

Can we get another hint?

[Buff]

Here is a hint, but I'll continute to make this a hard question:

The team I started my NHL career with has been relocated to another city.

okay, I'll give you two hints:

I also played for an original 6 team.

WOW, Mike and I are working on this one and we are not even getting close.

This is a tough question.

[JiriHrdina]

Tough thing about this question is there is very little about the player himself - just the teams he's played for. I've been trying to get it to and I don't think I"m even close.

[Buff]

Another hint:

I was never even drafted and I went on to be in the top 40 for career points, and top 20 for career goals.

[BlackArcher101]

Dino Ciccarelli?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Another hint:

I was never even drafted and I went on to be in the top 40 for career points, and top 20 for career goals.

I think its Dino as well.....

[Buff]

Dino Ciccarelli is the correct answer. Sorry I made it so tough, but I didn't want to give out such an easy one.

[Buff]

This one will be an easy one. I started and ended my career in Philadelphia. I played for 5 other teams in between the starting and ending of my career, winning a Stanley Cup with one of those teams, and only stopping for a drink of water with another one of these teams.

Rick Tocchet?

[Buff]

How did you guess? ;)

[Buff]

I am currently a coach. I played for only 2 teams in the NHL and had 4 consecutive years where I scored over 30 goals and accumlated 200 penalty minutes in each season.

Gerard Gallant?

[Buff]

Yes

[OILFAN #81]

I have played for 6 NHL teams. 66.6666 % of those teams are Canadian and those teams are still in the NHL. The 2 American teams I played for are no longer in the NHL. I was not an offensive player. I retired in the 90's. Who am I?

[Buff]

Wow this is a tough one. It figures that an Oiler fan would try to give us Flames fans a hard time! ;)

Can I get a hint?

[OILFAN #81]

Wow this is a tough one. It figures that an Oiler fan would try to give us Flames fans a hard time! ;)

Can I get a hint?

The 4 Canadian teams I played for were the 3 Western Teams along with the Senators. I was a defensive defenceman for the most part as I not once in my 10 year NHL career did hit the 20 point plateau.

Bryan Glynn??

[OILFAN #81]

Bryan Glynn??

You betcha!

[the_only_turek_fan]

I played under a current NHL GM or coach in four different cities.

I played in 2/3 cities that a player that retired in the last 12 months played in.

The retired player played for a third team. I was traded for a player that played or plays for the other team in the state/province of the third team that the retired player played in. I didnt not play for that team.

Who am I?

Confused?

[Buff]

Is Palffy the link? (the retired player)

[the_only_turek_fan]

Is Palffy the link? (the retired player)

Palffy is not the retired player.

The retired player played his last game in 2003-04, but officially announced his retirement in 2005 after the lockout was over.

That player played in 3 NHL cities. Player X played in 2/3 of the cities that the retired player played in.

The third city that the retired player once played in and player X did not play in has another NHL city in its state/province.

A player that plays in the other city in that state/province was once traded for player X.

Who is player X?

I hope thats a bit more clear.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I played under a current NHL GM or coach in four different cities.


Oh and thats the best hint!

Start from here!

[OILFAN #81]

Oh and thats the best hint!

Start from here!

Do you mean the same coach/GM for all 4 cities or 4 different GM/coaches(who are still currently in the NHL) in 4 different cities?

[the_only_turek_fan]

The same coach or GM coached this player in 4 different NHL cities.

The coach that coached the player is a current NHL coach or GM.

Sorry about all the confusion. Its getting harder and harder to make challenging questions that are still solvable.

[Buff]

I love the tough questions, just don't present them on days ending in 'y'. ;)

Actually I'm just having a brain dead day... and its lasting all week long. The coach or GM may be Mike Keenan?

Brian Noonan?

(Messier retired player, Keenan coach, Amonte the traded player)

[the_only_turek_fan]

Brian Noonan?

Yepp,

Mark Messier is the retired player. He played in Vancouver, Edmonton and New York. Noonan played in Vancouver and New York. Thats 2/3.

The third team that Messier played for was Edmonton. The other city in that state/province is Calgary.

Tony Amonte plays for Calgary and was once traded for Noonan.

[OILFAN #81]

Since the last one I made was tougher and I had to give a hint......i'll make this an easy one.

I didn't even play equivalent to 6 seasons (game wise) in the NHL yet I was a member of 3 Stanley Cup Winning Teams. I once took a backhanded penalty shot all the way from center ice. I share a common name with one of the top 50 players as chosen by the Hockey News to ever play in the NHL.

[Buff]

Lets see if we can get this thread going again...

I averaged well over 2.25 points per game in juniors. While I did well for myself in the NHL (nearly ppg) I wasn't quite as prolific as I was in juniors. I played in back to back Stanley Cup finals but for two different teams. Who am I?

Sorry OILFAN, I didn't see your question.... can we get a hint?

It isn't Claude Lemieux but I worded the question so somebody would think that it was.

I'll take a wild guess with my shallow hockey knowledge...

Petr Sykora (New Jersey Devils in 2001 - 02, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, 2002 - 03)

Note: There is also a second Petr Sykora that played in the NHL... thats pretty weird

The Devils went to the finals in 2000-01.

Good guess though.

[Buff]

Sorry STeeLY it wasn't Sykora.

This particular fellow retired in the 90s. In the seasons that he made back to back Cup appearances, he wasn't a part of the winning team.

[Rhettzky]

Thomas Sandstrom?

[Rhettzky]

Nevermind, I think it's Brian Propp. 89-90' Cup appearance with the Boston Bruins and then again in 90-91' with the Minnesota North Stars. Retired in 1994 with 1016 Games Played and 1004 Points.

[Buff]

Brian Propp is the correct answer!

[Rhettzky]

Sweet!

I once let my dog use the Stanley Cup as his food dish.

I was drafted by both the New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers in the same year.

As a hall of fame inductee I managed decent point per game numbers but had more penalty minutes than both.

[Rhettzky]

Nevermind, I didn't read the rules. It is supposed to be remotely Flames related and it's not. I'll post another one tomorrow that is.

[Buff]

Nevermind, I didn't read the rules. It is supposed to be remotely Flames related and it's not. I'll post another one tomorrow that is.
Rules? What do you mean rules? KC made rules but we've pretty much ignored them after the first few questions. I think right now the only rule is to keep this thread going.

And the answer to your question must be Clark Gillies.

[OILFAN #81]

Claude Lemieux?

OILFAN, I have no idea. Can I get another hint.

HINT: The majority of my games played were at the "Igloo"

[GreenTeaFrapp]

Phil Bourque

I scoured over the Penguins all time roster and not one of them meet your criteria... not that I can see. :confused:

Yeah, I guess that was easier than I thought. Good work.

[OILFAN #81]

Phil Bourque

Correct!

[Buff]

Correct!

You said he won 3 Stanley Cups, but Phil Bourque only won 2.

[Buff]

This one should be a tough one. It is almost one of those two for one type questions:

I set my season best totals for goals, assists (later tied) and points in my rookie year. Then in the next 8 years my goal total declined each year. I was never drafted and I chose the college route. After retiring I coached for the same college I played for.

During my NHL career I was traded for a superpest. This superpest has only played for NHL teams that has won two or more Stanley Cups, however 3 of those teams won their Cups before the superpest made the NHL. The other team only won one Stanley Cup with him on their roster. Later in that same season (that I was traded for the superpest) the team that traded for me, made another trade with the team that traded me away.

Who am I?

[Buff]

Here is a hint. The guy that was traded from my old team to join me on my new team was part of a question in this thread.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Well the key to this problem is to figure out who the super pest is.

Any ideas on the all time super pests? He has played for 4 teams. All have won the cup 2 times or more.

Tikkanen - played on teams that havent won more than 2 cups.

Kasparaitis - Almost. COL, NYR, NYI, and PTT have all won 2 or more cups, However, Kasparaitis didn't win with any of them.

Barnaby - See Tikkanen

Man this is tough. Give me some more time!

[JiriHrdina]

Dave Poulin.

The superpest is The Rat himself Ken Linseman.

[Buff]

Dave Poulin.

The superpest is The Rat himself Ken Linseman.

Bingo!... er I mean JiriHrdina!

Dave Poulin is the correct answer!

[STeeLy]

just ask another question... lol

[the_only_turek_fan]

Dave Poulin.

The superpest is The Rat himself Ken Linseman.

Good work G.

I was not even close.

Great question Buff!

[the_only_turek_fan]

OK,

I scored a regular season OT goal vs the Calgary Flames in December of 1993.

I was once traded for a current member of the Calgary Flames.

I was never drafted.

My middle name is Stanley.

Who am I?

[Buff]

Warren Rychel

[the_only_turek_fan]

Warren Rychel

How did you know? :confused:

Nice job Buff!

[the_only_turek_fan]

I went to the Stanley Cup finals twice in the 90s with two different teams losing both times.

The year I retired, the franchise that I went to the finals with the first time won the Stanley Cup.

I am a former member of the Calgary Wranglers.

Who am I?

[JiriHrdina]

Doug Houda? I'm about 50% sure.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Doug Houda? I'm about 50% sure.

Nope!

Try again!

[JiriHrdina]

Aha! Mark Tinordi

[the_only_turek_fan]

Aha! Mark Tinordi

Tinordi is correct!

:)

[JiriHrdina]

Tinordi is correct!

:)

Yeah got thrown off by the winning the cup part - I forgot he was no longer with the Stars when they won it.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I won the Memorial Cup in the 1950's.

Fans used to chant "Moose" when ever I touched the puck.

I joined an expansion team in the summer of 1967 and played parts of 3 seasons with them before retiring after the 1969-70 season.

Who am I?

[JiriHrdina]

Hint?

[the_only_turek_fan]

^

I was a team mate on a championship team with another player that was the answer to a "Who am I" question in this thread.

Hope that helps.
