Resurrection of the great 606 Quizzes.....well kind of.

I think the Brit you refer to is Charlie Gardiner. I did some digging on him when I wrote an article for 606 on British born NHL players a while back.

Found the article... http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A51952287

Mark Messier, Mario Lemieux and Gordie Howe scored their fair share of playoff goals but they all share one record in the playoffs that they probably would prefer not to have. What is it?

Disclaimer: I stumbled upon this while looking for confirmation on a different question I was gonna ask so I cannot be held responsible if the information is inaccurate

is it anything to do with their conduct with the stanley cup, I know it has been in mario's pool a few times

Nope nothing to do with the cup, something in game.

all been losing captains in consecutive seasons?

It's a good try but not the right answer. Pete you're back in play.

erm... they all missed empty nets that cost them a playoff series?

Haha no That would be impressive!

ummmmmm, they all got a game misconduct + a further ban..........

Nice try but still no

The clue is in the question.

All went out of the playoffs by giving up OT penalties leading to the other team scoring a PP winner?? (clutching at straws here)

or it's Bobby Orr.

They all drew penalties in unsportsmanship like ways to win series in the dying seconds?

Oh and congratulations Beef that was your 2000th post !!

***banners and streamers***

Haha so it was!

CJ your answer was incorrect but it is heading in the right direction (overtime).

giveaways by all three resulted in OT losses, though that seems far too specific :S

It is much more simple than that......think not about what they have done but what they haven't done....

all missed penalties?

Nope

I might have this.... I know Gordie Howe was the NHL version of Stanley Matthews, as he played into his 50's. On ESPN, one of their 'flashbacks' is of Messier, and I'm sure it said he won a Stanley when he was 40+.

So I'm going to say they all won a Stanley at the age, when their pre match routine involved Sanatogen and their post match drink was Horlicks.

Hahaha I like you answer Driz but it isn't the right one

It is much more simple than all of that. Re-read the question, as I said the clue is in there somewhere

They've all gone out of the playoffs in the first round in overtime. Or they've all gone out first round in OT as a coach/GM/special assistant?

They've never won an OT playoff game?

Pete, you are on the right track but not quite.

They never even played an OT game? Also, I like how we're on page 14 already
