TRIVIA TIME
Have you been keeping up (or perhaps even winning) my weekly trivia questions? The questions are asked by the Isles simultaneously on the team Facebook page and on Twitter (using the hashtag #islesTNT) The team usually has a great prize for the winner --this past week's winners found themselves watching the first of John Tavares' back-to-back four point games!
If you have missed any recent questions, here they are. (The answers are below my signature.) Good luck!
