Some old guy trivia

[buffhockey]

During the Ducks post game a graphic was shown:

Selanne is the 4 player over 40 to record a hat trick in the NHL

Who are the other 3?

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Lidstrom did in this year... for the other two I'm going to guess Gordie Howe and... I bet the last one is a weird one. Mike Gartner?

 

[buffhockey]

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Ha, fine... scratch Gartner and put in... Lemieux?

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Come on people, one more to go... let's get some guesses in here. If you don't, I'm just going to start saying stupid shit.

Cam Neely! Doug Brown! PJ Axelsson! Scott Stevens! Bernie Parent! Marc Crawford!

Mark Recchi?!? Just a wild ass guess.

Edit: sbb beat me under the wire.

Just reading up on him. A lot I didn't know about him.

I wonder if Jeff would know this one.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

According to my sources, there were more than two teams back in the Original Six days! Was in the Big M?

edit: just shot down...

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Good hint... this guy might have come a little late, but was it Bucyk?

 

[buffhockey]

Winner!!

I was kind of surprised not to see more names on that list.

Dash used to preach the values of Johnny... I'm surprised he didn't get that one.

Most guys skills REALLY start deteriorating in their late 30's, and injuries become much more severe. Look at the stat lines from Burnaby Joe's last three seasons.

2006-07 Colorado Avalanche NHL 82 36 64 100

2007-08 Colorado Avalanche NHL 44 13 27 40

2008-09 Colorado Avalanche NHL 15 2 10 12

It's so hard to stay healthy when you're at that age, even if you're still good.

Yeah, I feel shame - Johnny Bucyk was the 60's-70's version of Ron Francis.
