While correcting my "fading" Christy Mathhewson knowledge... :mrgreen:

My best attempt at "alternate" hockey questions in You choose round... for those not bold enough to try :)


This Washington Capital led the NHL in goals twice in the 1990s ( Bondra, Oates, Berube, Langway, McInnis)

This Superstar led NHL in goals in 1988 despite being on a last place team ( Kurri,Gretzky,Nicholls,Lemieux,Jagr)..

Yeah, and that last place team actually had a winning record. I sat through a lot of really bad years with that team, but that wasn't one of them (other than they wouldn't let them in the playoffs).

I think that's about the time the NHL started to realize their playoff system was all screwed up. Back then, only 5 teams missed the playoffs. That year, 6 teams that had losing records quailfied for the playoffs while 2 teams that had winning records didn't qualify. (And that was back in the years when any loss counted as a loss) Divisional playoffs were fun/intense, but they made the regular season completely meaningless (even far moreso than it is today).
