First 100-point Leaf would be Sittler, 50-goal scorer Vaive.

First 100-point scorer for Hartford would be Mike Rogers, 50 goals Stoughton as already mentioned.

For Pittsburgh it would be some combination of Jean Pronovost/Pierre Larouche/Syl Apps, all in the same season.

You're right about the Leafs. Mike Rogers was one game ahead of Blaine Stoughton in reaching the 100-point mark, in April, 1980. The latter also scored 50 goals that same season: 1979-80.

In Pittsburgh, Jean Pronovost scored his 50th goal of the season - 1975-76 - on March 24, 1976; Pierre Larouche scored his 50th goal on April 3, 1976. Meanwhile, on March 24, 1976, Larouche notched his 100th point of the season, and Pronovost reached the 100 point mark on April 3, 1976. Syl Apps had an Adam Oates-type season in 1975-76, with 32 goals, 67 assists and 99 points.
 
- Which two HHOFers were born on the exact same day in the exact same year?

- Which two players who played in the 1990s and 2000s each played for the exact same four teams and only those four teams? (they were never traded for eachother)

- Name all 7 of the active NHLers who have won the cup with multiple teams.

Q3: Penner, Williams, Scuderi, Fraser,
 
1st question is Gus Bodnar. I ran into him back when I was randomly looking at random Calder Trophy winners.

Haha on my mistake on Redmond. I knew his last name was Redmond and then the name Todd made sense to me as I've heard it before so I put two and two together. :laugh:

Bodnar's WIKI page says he did it in 15 seconds..... NHL wiki page says different.

Hint.. Player born in Minnesota ; Played in Canada.

1. Mario Lemieux and Patrick Roy, both born on October 5, 1965 (I didn't look that up, I swear!)

2. Let me get back to you...

3. Justin Williams, Chris Kunitz, Rob Scuderi, Craig Adams...that's four, I'll try and think of the other three.

Anyway, who was the 3rd best scorer among defencemen in the 1980 Winter Olympics? (there's a little catch *hint hint*)

Wow. Such enthusiasm for my little nut to crack. Hope nobody died of excitement?

So as not to keep anyone in suspense, the answer is: Dave Christian of U.S. of A. with 8 points (all assists).
 
Wings with 50-goal Seasons

Name the six players who scored (at least) 50 goals in a season, while playing with the Detroit Red Wings.
 
Fedorov and Sheppard?

I thought I'd be waiting till Thanksgiving for someone to name Ray Sheppard.

In 1993-94 - the year the Cup wait in New York would end - the Wings led the league with 356 goals scored during the regular season, and Sergei Federov and Ray Sheppard led the way with 56 and 52 goals respectively. Steve Yzerman contributed 24 goals and 82 points in the 58 regular season games he played.

I knew one was Fedorov. Sheppard was a guess and I don't even recall his great season. I just know he had some great hands and played in a higher scoring era. Kind of like Andreychuk.

Both Ray Sheppard and Danny Grant probably don't receive the credit they deserve for their 50-goal seasons. Sheppard was on a Detroit team packed with offense, and Grant had Marcel Dionne as his center. But the fact is that both gentlemen - Sheppard and Grant - were legitimate goal scorers before they ever donned the flying wheel. Ray scored 38 goals as a rookie in Buffalo; Grant scored 34 goals as a rookie in Minnesota. A winger with a shooter's eye and instinct is as much of a boon to the playmaking center as the playmaker is to the shooter. Grant's prowess provided Dionne with some of the best numbers of his career in 1974-75.
 
Among players who began their careers after the 1967 expansion, who are the only 7 players who are in the Hall of Fame (as players), and whose career plus/minus record is a minus?

Interesting question - most HOFers have either been too good for this or have been on good teams.

Was this prompted by Rob Blake's induction? I think he was one.

I can think of a couple of bad team stars for sure. Bernie Federko and Dale Hawerchuk.

I think Ciccarelli was in the minus area too.

When the seven names are finally revealed, I think a lot of folks - like me - will be surprised to see that the list does not include anyone who wore the blue leaf during Harold Ballard's reign of error. This will become a list of eight when Bob Stewart is finally inducted.
