Très bien. I was hoping to trip someone up with the Pocket Rocket, who has his name on the Cup the most as a player (11).

Here's another one right in the wheelhouse - Everybody knows that a Gordie Howe hat trick is a goal, an assist, and a fight. How many Gordie Howe hat tricks did Gordie Howe record in his career?

Gordie Howe hat tricks did Gordie Howe record in his career?

believe it or not, just twice.

 

[blindbaby]

It's either 2 or one; I'll go with one.

 

[tsawchuk]

Twice...

 

[juliansteed]

It's either 2 or one; I'll go with one.

This is my answer as well.

I always thought it was one, but I could be mistaken.

 

[puckhead]

I had read something about that Gordie Howe thing being a bit of an urban legend, and he actually had 10 or 12.

The first known Gordie Howe hat trick was achieved by Hall of FamerHarry Cameron of the Toronto St. Pats on December 22, 1920.The namesake of the achievement, Gordie Howe, achieved a Gordie Howe hat trick only twice in his NHL career. Howe got his first Gordie Howe Hat Trick on October 11, 1953 when he fought the Toronto Maple Leafs' Fernie Flaman, assisted on Red Kelly's goal, and scored his own. His second happened on March 21, 1954, once again versus the Maple Leafs. Howe scored the opening goal, assisted on two Ted Lindsay goals, and fought Ted "Teeder" Kennedy.

Gretzky must have had about 200 games with a goal, assist, and attack from the opponents' goon which he refused to defend himself against.
I guess that's a goal, an assist, and an ass beating...the Gretzk Pink Hat Trick!!

Still remember how shocked I was when I finally got to see The Great One play and the Blues' enforcer of the day skated off the bench, made a beeline for Wayne, and just started punching away. I really didn't know the NHL was that bad! I think Semenko came out after that and beat up somebody on the Blues.

Thanks for posting. I could not remember who the Leaf was. That was definitely McCreary's claim to fame.

I remember that game (I think that was on a Saturday night HNIC telecatst if memory serves).

/Pretty sure it made it onto a Don Cherry Rock 'Em Sock 'Em VHS video as well.

I don't remember Gretzky ever having to worry about being attacked by somebody. He just called Semenko over to beat up anybody who came near him. McSorely was in the trade to L.A. for the same reason.

Since I know only 2 things about Barilko, I will pick "all have scored a Cup winning goal"? And I know Mr. Orr is not deceased, so thaat eliminates the other thing I know about Barilko.

 

[blindbaby]

They've all been in a fight and scored a goal in a Stanley Cup final?

I have no idea who "Metro Prystal" is, but I am pretty sure he has never been in a fight. Unless you count hitting someone over the head with a purse, a fight.

Ohhhhh, I thought it said "Metro Sexual".

Never mind.

 

[alf41]

Correct BGD.
They all have scored a Cup clinching goal. nice job! Your up
