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 winners.
If you have missed any recent questions, here they are. (The answers are below my signature.) Good luck!
Question 1: The #Isles have eliminated the #Penguins in the playoffs 3x. Who scored the 3 series-clinching goals?
Question 2 (asked in late October) John Tavares has 39% of team's goals (7-of 18). Who is the only #isles to score at least 20% team's goals over full season?
Question 3: Who is the only Islander goalie to ever shutout Colorado?
Question 4: Last night (11/15) Brian Rolston became the 3rd player to play his 1,200th NHL game in an Islander uniform. Who are the other two?
Question 5: Who are the 3 goalies to play for the Isles and Flyers and also play for their country in the Olympics?
Question 6: (as of last Wednesday) PA Parenteau currently leads the Isles in assists (13), which puts him on pace for a 48-assist season. Who was the last Isle to have that many?
Question 7: (Asked Tonight): Tavares & Moulson are the first pair of Isles to have multi-point games in the same 3 consecutive games in 11 years. Who did it in 2000?
