And we’re back with another test of your hockey knowledge with “Who Am I?”! The last edition was pretty challenging, something I hope holds up for this week!!!
Before we get to this week’s challenge, though, let’s take a look at the info from last time:
1. I have a rookie of the year award in my trophy case. (2001 Calder Trophy Winner)
2. I am a top 5 all-time NHL points scorer for my country of birth. (Number five points scorer for Kazakhstan with 10)
3. I have played for two countries internationally. (Kazakhstan and Russia)
4. I have scored a landmark power play goal during my NHL career. (First PP goal scored by a goalie)
5. I have a streak-based NHL record. (Most consecutive road wins by a goaltender [11] set between November 2009 and February 2010 while playing for San Jose)
Who Am I? I’m…….Evgeni Nabokov!!!
Now for the newest installment in my attempts to stump you hockey wizards!!! Give it a go, post your answers in the comment section and back up your answer please.
1. I once moved teams three times within a period of less than two weeks.
2. I coached a team in an NHL original six city.
3. I won four cups.
4. I am best remembered for the events of a single game.
5. I played for two original six teams.
Let’s see how you do folks! Remember: Provide some evidence along with your guesses! Good luck!
