I don't think it was, Homer....probably more like a head shot..I'll leave now

Haha very funny you rotten lot

OK then, which Bruin gave Sidney Crosby his first NHL fight?

Hint: it's not Marc Savard.

Andrew Ference.

Had to be a Bruins answer.

It was indeed Mr Ference and not one of his better efforts either.

Can't access the tinterweb at work so apols for rubbishness and Bruin-centric nature of the question

Two Goaltenders hold the joint record for most losses in a career, 352.

One is Gump Worsley. Who is the other?

Did they not stop and think that maybe they were in the wrong job?

I have no idea. Was it a Leafs player?

Manny Legace, most of that 352 were in his last season as a Blue. Stunk more than skunks tail!!!

Nope, not Legace, but the goalie in question played for both the Blues and Leafs.

Isn't it Chris Osgood? I seem to remember reading that he had the record but it might have been near it lol.

Very left field but is it CuJo? I seem to recall he was close to the record....

Actually I think you are right leafy. For some reason I always get Cujo and Osgood mixed up

It is indeed Curtis Joseph. 352 losses in his career.

And Beef, how dare you mention the Osgood in the same subject as most career losses.

Well I knew it was one of those two, not because of their abilities but because they have been playing since 1642.

Leafy's question.

And Chris Osgood should not even be associated with CuJo. They're not even allowed in the same building.

Leave Cujo alone

Sorry about the delay guys and girls, I'll post in the next 10 minutes

Righto, here goes. Since 1990, how many first round, first overall picks have hit 30+ goals in their rookie season? And for a bonus - who are they?

Jesus. No idea at all Leafy. I'll go with 4 but not a clue who they are.

Off the top of head I am trying to name 1st overall draft picks backwards then wonder how many would have scored 30 goals so...

Hall no
Tavares maybe
Stamkos probably
Kane yes
Johnson no
Crosby yes
Ovi yes
Fleury no

then its guess work but the following have been 1st overalls I think (maybe just 1st round) no idea of order or 30 goal status...

Kovalchhuk yes
Nash yes
Lecavlier maybe
Stepan no
Gaborik probably
Heatley probably
Phillips no
Lindros yes
Thorton maybe
Pronger no
Sundin yes

so from that absolute mess I've named 19 players from the 21 years of only less thant half I know for sure are 1st overall picks and then from that half of half I'm going to go with with 9; Sundin, Lindros, Heatley, Nash, Kovalchuk, Ovi, Crosby, Kane, Tavares. If I am anywhere close on any of that lot I will be happy!!

Buff - 4 is wrong. However in your subsequent post, you have named all of the ones on the list. Now, to make it more interesting I need the number AND the names (as I said, Buff has named all of them amongst his 23), so takes your pick ladies and gents...

Wasn't Pronger picked second behind the legend that is Alexandre Daigle? And I'm betting he's not on Leafy's list.

Indeed, Alex Daigle was selected no1 ahead of Pronger. And surprisingly, CJ is correct in her assumption that he didn't manage the 30...

I said 9 not 4 :S
