| It was Rod Langway, and he was born in Taiwan, I believe. I think he won it two years in a row with point totals in the 30's. Complete rip-off. Of course, at the time, people were still kind of on a Bobby Orr hangover, so anyone who had a similar style was immediately and unfairly judged against Bobby, rather than their own merits. Can you imagine a defenseman getting even 100 points now and not winning the Norris? that's crazy. |

I think there was a backlash at the time but it wasn't to do with Orr. I remember some hubbub about the two previous winners (Carlyle and Wilson) being criticized for being all offence and no defence and that the voters had lost sight of what the Norris was about. The voters went the polar opposite the next two seasons by selecting Langway.
To be honest I'm far more comfortable with Langway's Norris's than I am with Coffey's. But that's another thread entirely.

I actually thought you were making sense to me lately, willus, but you lost me again. Just because a guy gets a ton of points, should he be ineligible? Coffey was not a liability on defence until later in his career. During the 80's and early 90's, his speed was enough to stop almost anyone.
One of his most famous stops was in the 1984 Canada Cup. That's what I think of when I think about Paul Coffey.

As long as he's playing great defense while putting up tons of points I have no problem. But there in lies the issue I have with Coffey. We can discuss but you should probably start another thread...

It is easy to answer who had the most points through the 80's (Gretzky) but who had the second most points though the 80's??
I know I'm very late with this post, just saw it today.
Didn't Kurri have more points in the 80's than Stasny?

No matter how you look at it Stastny had more points in the 80's than Kurri.
Stastny
1980-81 to the end of the 1989-90 season total points = 1059
1980-81 to the end of the 1988-89 season total points = 986
Kurri
1980-81 to the end of the 1989-90 season total points = 1043
1980-81 to the end of the 1988-89 season total points = 950
And to put it into perspective
Gretzky
1980-81 to the end of the 1989-90 season total points = 1842
1980-81 to the end of the 1988-89 season total points = 1700

Others on note:

Federko
1980-81 to the end of the 1989-90 season total points = 877
Trottier
1980-81 to the end of the 1989-90 season total points = 825

Who was he and where was he born!
PS- Try to guess without google or wikipedia.
If you are under the age of 15, please do some research before you make a post about anything pre-1997.
He must've had some connections high up |

| Rod Langway of Washington. He was born in Taiwan, but raised in USA. No connections, he was just a solid defensive defenceman. |

Only 3 NHL players scored 100 points or more as a teenager at the NHL level.....Wayne Gretzky was 1 of them.....
Who are the other 2 ??...no it`s not Lemieux  |

I really don`t understand this question, it is listed in NHL Trivia, and Lemieux isn`t one of the answers...but...
Lemieux was born on OCT. 05 / 1965 and his first season was 1984 / 1985 and he scored exactly 100 points.
Maybe the trivia question was only 3 to score OVER 100 points as a teenager....it has to be in order to be correct. |

I think there's 5 of them now. Mario is indeed one of them - his birthday is in Oct 1965, and he scored 100 pts in the 1984-85 season. The season ends in April, so Mario would have been 19 at the time.
Carson was 19, Hawerchuk was 19 or he may have even been 18, his birthday is April 4. Gretzky was 19, Crosby was 18.

Bored out of my skull.
Let's see if we can get some trivia going. These are only fun if you don't look it up on google.
Here you go:
There are 5 players in the history of the NHL to score more than 450 goals without playing in at least 1,000 games.
Can you name them??

I can only think of 3 off the top of my head. Mario, Bossy and P Bure. |

I'll take a googleless stab at it!
I agree with Guest's
Bure, Mario and Bossy, and will add;
Neely and Tim Kerr( I think that was his name, played for Philly).
Now on to Google to see how far off I was! 
Wow, now that I've googled, that's a toughy! Good question Beans! I would expect no less from a fellow cerebral Oiler fan! 
Keep em' coming!
I would venture very few could get all 5 without assistance! |

I don't think Bure got to 450? Thought he was shy of that in the 440's? I could be wrong. As for the others, i'm trying to think of guys like Bossy and Lemieux who had shortened careers due to injury/illness and can't come up with a goal scorer who fits the mold? Lafleur prob would have been one if he hadn't come back as i believe he went over 1000 games upon his return, no?
Is Joe Mullen one of them??? |

Kerr might be one FER but i don't think Neely played long enough to get there. What a shame too, he was fun to watch, even though i never liked the Bruins. |

So if Bure is out, how about the Rocket? He may have played for a long time but he didn't play many games in a season.
Can't think of anyone else without googling or hockeydb'ing. |

Great question Beans. 450 goals . . . less than a thousand games. Hmm.
Bossy sounds right - but he'd be close to a thousand games, so I am not super sure on that one.
Maurice "Rocket" Richard is another good guess I agree with.
Mario Lemieux should be under a thousand games I think? Not sure, but I'll throw him in too.
I don't think Neely got that many goals, not 450 I'll wager. Hmm, still two short . . .
Ok - Pat Lafontaine, I'll say . . . and . . . hmm . . .
Cripes, this is tough.
Bossy, Rocket Richard, Lemieux, Lafontaine, and . . . I'll throw in . . . Ah! I got one. Kevin Stevens.
Now I go to look it up after posting . . .

Hunh! I got 4 out of 5, pretty proud of that
But of note, there are actually 6 players, since one player did play less than a thousand games and scored exactly 450 goals (and I didn't guess him correctly either).

Ah, but Slozo...Beans' question said ".....score more than 450 goals...."!!! Nice try though.
I got busy and forgot to check yesterday, but googled it this morning for the correct answers.
Beans? Beans? Next question please..... |

Well, in fairness to those of us who've tried and didn't ruin it after we googled it........It's been on here a day and a half and traffic is unusually slow around here. You could move on and chalk it up to a good tough question and just give the answer up, even though i'm sure most of us who tried have already googled the answers!!! |

Well done google, I mean guest. Mogilny was the missing player.
Hats off to Slozo for mentioning a playerwho scored 450 in less than 1000 games. That was Peter Stasny.
Those who mentioned Bure, he had 437 in 702.
I will toss out the next question but if anyone else wants to offer a question they are more than welcome.
Since 1980 there were three players who have won multiple Stanley Cups with two different teams. Name them without using google.

1. Patrick Roy (obvious choice)
2. Claude Lemieux (just not sure if he won more than 1 in Col?)
3. Paul Coffey? (def had multiple in Edm, but not sure about Pitt?)
Doubt these are correct as i'm assuming there's at least one "obscure" 3rd or 4th line role player or defender in there? I' won't Google it until i see what other say and if anyone can come up with it.
Good question! |
