Leafs Trivia #4
Some are easy in this lot.
No. 21. What Leaf goaltender had three shutouts in the Stanley Cup Final? - Frank McCool
No. 22. Who did the Leafs get in exchange for Tim Horton? - Denis Dupere
No. 23. What goaltender was pressed into service once Bernie Parent jumped to the WHA? - Ron Low
No. 24. Of all the players the Leafs traded away, which one won a major NHL award the fastest? - Bernie Parent, Vezina
No. 25. Who were the three men who bought the Leafs from Conn Smythe? - Harold 'Satan' Ballard, Stafford 'Lousy Drunken Excuse for a son' Smythe, and John 'Who?' Bassett
No. 26. Which Leaf acted as Alexander Godynyuk's translator when he first got to Toronto? - Mike Krushelnyski
No. 27. In the 1990 playoffs, LA knocked Calgary out in Game 7 on a crazy power play goal where a player took a swing at a puck while lying on his stomach. The puck then looped through the air in slow motion and stayed 6 inches past the outstreched glove of Mike Vernon, who was falling over backwards trying to catch it. The goal scorer and the player in the box both became Leafs. Who were they? - Mike Krushelnyski scored while Gary Roberts looked scary in the box.
No. 28. With the Leafs killing a penalty in overtime in Game 6 of the 1993 Semi-Final, Wayne Gretzky famously high-sticked Gilmour, got away with it, then scored the winner. Who was in the box, having taken a brain-dead boarding penalty in the last minute of the third? - Glenn Anderson
No. 29. Who was the first Leaf to wear #27 after Sittler was done with it? - Miroslav Ihnacak
No. 30. The Leafs record for goals scored in the playoffs is 11 (Dave Andreychuk, 1993). How many were scored in the third round? - Zero

21 – Frank McCool
29 – Kordic wore it, although I’m not sure he was first. I think Lucien Deblois had it next
30 – None?

Is definitely Frank McCool because when Potvin got 3 shutouts against the Blackhawks in…95?…he was the first since then.

OK – we’re part way home on some of them.
No. 21 – Frank ‘Ulcers’ McCool
No. 25 – Ballard and Stafford Smythe are two, the third is (or strikes me as) the least evil of the bunch, which is probably why he got out. His daughter was a tennis pro. He was either the owner or publisher of the Toronto Telegram.
No. 27 – Krushelnyski got the goal. We need the guy in the box. The two players were never teammates in Toronto (or anywhere that I can think of).
No. 28 – Anderson. Now, to be fair, he got the OT winner in Game 5. But this penalty was beyond stupid. I heard it on the radio at the time. It’s only in the past year that I actually saw it.
No. 30 – None. He got those 11 goals in the first two rounds. We could have used one in the third round. In Game 6 or 7 maybe….
Hints:
No. 22 – French-Canadian defensive forward lost to Washington in ‘74 expansion draft.
No. 23 – Goalie spent one year in Toronto and then backstopped some of the worst teams in history – No, not the Leafs. Go wash your minds out with soap.
No. 24 – a goalie again
No. 25 – the missing third person was either the owner or publisher of the Toronto Telegram. Had a daughter who was a tennis pro.
No. 26 – Look for someone with lots of vowels.
No. 27 – the ultimate warrior not named Wendel.
No. 29 – had a brother who wasn’t bad.
No. 27 – the ultimate warrior not named Wendel.
Mr. Clark?

I wanted to say the Bomber, but Baumgartner was traded from the Kings that year before the playoffs. So it must be the Kruiser – Mike Krushelnyski.

27, the other answer
I should read more carefully… it’s Sir Gary Robersts, isn’t it?
the ultimate warrior not named Wendel
For real, whoe else could it be?

No. 24 is among the most famous of ‘those who got away’. Thank Pal Hal and the Miami Screaming Eagles….
For No. 23, his career wasn’t a series of highs and lows, it was just one long, long low.
No. 25 – What kind of dog was Flash?
For No. 22, can’t think of anything else other than giving his name….
24 – Bernie Parent winning the Vezina?
26 – Was it Krusher?

Yes to both.
Grant Fuhr was part of a Jennings winner in 1993-94 with Hasek, but he was traded mid-year ’92-93. Parent was traded before the start of ’73-74.
Krushelnyski was the one who figured out that Godynyuk was Ukrainian and not Russian (as advertised – what, aren’t ALL Soviets Russian?!?!?) and could thus speak with him.
1990-91 roster
Look for someone with lots of vowels
Krushelnyski only has 3 vowels, 4 if you count “Y”, out of 12. A 33% ratio. Damphousse has 4 vowels out of 10 (40 %), Cluade Loiselle has 4 out of 8 (50 %) and Iafrate has 4 out of just 7 letters(57 %). The most vowels in a last name however, belongs to Gilles Thibaubeau with 6 out of 10 (60 % vowel-composition!)
