Since It Is The Offseason, How About Some NYR Trivia?

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Im sure I will go oh yeah when people post answers but my memory isnt there. Id guess Lemieux but don't think Claude played for Nashville. Oh I think Lias Anderson's father played in the NHL so he is my only real guess.

That's 1 out of 4!

Lias' dad Niklas Andersson played for the 1999-2000 Predators.

3 more to go!

LOL that is all I got. The rest need to come from people with better memories

Namestnikov's dad (Evgeny) played for Nashville so I assume he (Vlad) was still here in 19-20 (can't remember when we traded him).

Ty Ronning was still with the Pack then so Cliff would be #3.

Tom Fitzgerald had a couple of sons who have played at least AHL level but not on any Ranger affiliated teams that I can think of. So no idea who #4 would be

New question:

Only 1 player has scored a goal against Henrik Lundqvist for 5 different NHL teams.

Can anyone name him?

Regular season only? Not that this makes it any easier, I am trying to think of players who would be on 5 teams that would be goal scorers.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I'll start off into the blue, Thomas Vanek?

@Amazing Kreiderman was it Marian Hossa? I forgot if he played for Ottawa in 05 (Hank's rookie season). Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago?

 

[Hitch16]

@Amazing Kreiderman 2 more guesses but I don't want to ruin for others.
Jaromir Jagr or Bill Guerin

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

That was fast! It is indeed Thomas Vanek!

Nice job @NYRFANMANI

Dang too late. I knew Ed Mio as we are both from Windsor, Ontario.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Here's an easy one.

Who was the first European born captain of the Rangers?

 

[cwede]

Jagr?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Jagr?

I think that is correct. I feared it might be a trick and we would learn that Walter was born in Sweden or something.

Edit: LOL I just looked. Walter was born in Germany so I may have guessed right without even being a serious guess.

It's indeed Walt Tkaczuk

We do not have Sam and Joe to do NYR related trivia in our offseason.

I will start but encourage anyone to post their own.

My 2 trivia questions will be Wayne Gretzky related.

Which one time NYR was the best man at Wayne's wedding?

Which one time NYR let up the first goal in Wayne's NHL career?

Now you can cheat by doing internet searches but if you do cheat I will know and I will hunt you down, lol.

The first one I’m pretty sure is Kevin Lowe and the second one is a shot in the dark:
Kirk MacLean [SIC] the Vancouver goalie?

 

[hackeyman]

McSorley best man

Mio for the 1st goal

Hmmmmm you had 2 good guesses but wrong on both questions.

Seeing Mio's name triggers a memory that he may have been the best man. Not sure on the first goal.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Edit: Just scrolled and saw the correct answers.
Oh well

Ed Mio and Glen Hanlon

Ed was best man. Glen Hanlon was first goal.

Prior to Matt Puempel, who was the last player who registered a point in his Rangers debut after being claimed off waivers?

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Roman Hamrlik…on second glance I see he had zero points with us in twelve games.

Sean Avery? (claimed from Dallas), it is so difficult to find who was actually claimed off waivers.
