Way to go and solve yesterday’s in less than 20 minutes folks….burst my freakin’ bubble. After a bust like that I couldn’t with good conscience wait another week to get a new one up here. In other words, I NEED TO REDEEM MYSELF!!!
Before I go about doing that, here’s yesterday’s that was apparently a “duhhhhhhhhh” one:
1. I hold an NHL points scoring record (Most career points by a goaltender with 48, all of them assists)
2. My name is on four different NHL trophies, but only one of them on multiple occasions (1984 Calder, 1984 Vezina, 1985 Jennings, and the 1991 & 1992 Stanley Cup)
3. I was demoted to the minors early in my career. (A five game stay with the Rochester Americans in the 1984-85 season, the only junior hockey I played in my career after being drafted out of high school)
4. I am currently employed as a coach. (Assistant coach to Paul Maurice for the 2012-13 Magnitogorsk team of the KHL)
5. I was drafted by a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Chosen 5th overall in the 1983 draft by GM of the Buffalo Sabres, Scotty Bowman)
Who Am I? I’m…….Tom Barrasso…….(last time I do ANYTHING on a player drafted by the Sabres!!!)
Now for my revenge! If this gets solved within the first hour or two I’ll be very impressed. As per usual, guesses and explanations in the comments. Let the migraines begin…:
1. I was not drafted into the NHL.
2. I am a Stanley Cup winner.
3. I played for six NHL teams, two of which were Original Six franchises, two expansion teams, and two relocated clubs.
4. I am the younger sibling of an NHL record setter.
5. I won a Calder Cup with the AHL farm team of one of the NHL clubs I played for.
Let’s see how you do with what has to be a much more challenging set of clues! Not impossible by any means, but a tricky one. Remember: Provide some evidence along with
your guesses! Good luck!
