Montreal's powerplay was unstoppable and they didn't want games getting out of hand.Trivia question: Why doesn't a penalized team serve the full 2 minutes of a penalty if the other team scores a goal on the PP?
Correct. I think the "Fab Five" were Doug Harvey, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Jean Belliveau, Dickie Moore and last but not least Rocket Richard. I think the rule was changed in the 1950's.Montreal's powerplay was unstoppable and they didn't want games getting out of hand.
I spent way too much time in Montreal taverns in my youth. The old geezers actually saw players from the 1930's up to the present. They said Doug Harvey was a good enough baseball player to play in the majors. Unfortunately, retirement was not kind to Mr. Harvey.My dad was a huge fan of Beliveau, Harvey, and Moore.
Gee, I dunno.Trivia question: Did professional hockey ever allow 7 players from the same team on the ice at the same time?
Apparently, 7 man hockey existed until it was fully phased out in the early 1920's. The 7th man was called a "rover" and, apparently, there are 19 rovers in the HHOF.Gee, I dunno.
What was the name of that Ottawa club, the Silver Seven?
I would call that basic knowledge of a basic hockey fan as opposed to trivia. Just like your previous common knowledge (not trivia) question about power plays ending when a goal is scored.Apparently, 7 man hockey existed until it was fully phased out in the early 1920's.

You are presuming that he heard of them.Gee, I dunno.

As usual, you are the master of nitpicking. Congrats.I would call that basic knowledge of a basic hockey fan as opposed to trivia. Just like your previous common knowledge (not trivia) question about power plays ending when a goal is scored.
Maybe they are trivia for someone just starting to watch the game.
Yes, he did and yes I heard of them. Happy?You are presuming that he heard of them.
They insulted my intelligence as they did George's, who mocked you. Maybe add him to the growing list of BFFs.As usual, you are the master of nitpicking. Congrats.
So, you didn't know the answer to either question.
I had the Espo mask and used it when in nets playing road hockey,lol. Come to think about it. I didn't really need it but it did help with whole professional player fantasy angle I suppose.Tony Esposito with his unique stlye mask that only he wore etc....

Hey Master Nitpicker, George, unlike you, at least knows something about hockey (but not idioms).They insulted my intelligence as they did George's, who mocked you. Maybe add him to the growing list of BFFs.
And of course our city politicians in their infinite wisdom have made street hockey illegal.Originally Posted by The Oracle

Listen dude. A guy (YOU) who cannot even tell time is in no position to discuss anyone else's intelligence. I notice that you deleted that thread about Syria, the one where you thought that someone started a thread on the same topic after you did, when in actuality you made yours 7 hours after the other. You thought 12:23 AM was later than your post at approximately 7:00 AM.:rofl:Actually, I think "who were the "Silver Seven" would make a good trivia question. Sorry Shack, we all know how smart you think you are.
