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

Ah right. So we've got to the stage where everyone just calls out a random team name until some gets the right answer.

The Nordiques.

Oilers

Yeeees. They had 44.

Which team is the only team to ever win 40 games in a season in which they also lost 40 and in what year

Was this Chicago?

Nope

Dallas last season? They went 42-35-5

40 regulation losses

Bruins?

Nope

Canucks?

I'm thinking Montreal in the 80's

Is this a trick ish question? Is it a defunct/relocated team? Winnipeg Jets in the early 90's won and lost about the same - I'm going for them. Or the North Stars, they were very average around then as well...

Canucks 94

Thats right

Name the year and team that the Stanley Cup final was won in a sweep over five games.

EDIT

Question re-worded.

I might be wrong but I didn't think the Stanley Cup had ever been won in a best of 9 series

The sweep was 95 Devils , Wings i believe

Yes, the Stanley Cup hasn't ever been best of 9 and it isn't the Devils.

Detroit in 98. I believe they did it two years running too. There was a crazy period in the 90's where it happened 4 or 5 times in row!

Nope. Earlier.

EDIT

Question re-worded.

Still a bit confused what you are asking but I will take a guess. Montreal Canadiens? If it is a sweep in a best of 5 series then it has to be either them or the Leafs surely?

It was a best of seven series. In the pre-90s.

I think its from a time you could still have a tie so the sweep would be 4-0-1 (the 1 being a tie). So it would be pre 1997, probably back to the Original Six.

Got it - Boston lost, to Gretzky's Oilers, remember the quote from Gretzky. 1987?
