Questions 19-20 - why Gordie is cool - URL: https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/ppp-charity-trivia-time-questions-19-20/ - Published: 2013-04-26T14:00:04.000Z - Updated: 2013-04-26T14:00:04.000Z - Description: Day ten of the PPP Trivia Contest! Know stuff! Win cards! If you want to take part and haven't signed up, please take a moment to do so! - Author: Chris K - Tags: Leaf of the Day, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:01 Welcome to the tenth day of the trivia contest! I have 30 questions made up, from which two will be asked each weekday. For each question, the first person to post the correct answer gets a point. We are still taking signups - I think at this point it's pretty clear that draft slots one and two will be going to some combination of *sknut* and *Grabovski's better than you think*, but there are plenty of decent things in the prize lot and they can't get all of them. :) If you know an answer and feel you'd like to have some prizes, please take a minute to donate $2.50 to each of the links below. I've got *way* more prizes than people, so come snag something. It's for a good cause: [Sarah Connors](http://www.runtohomebase.org/2013runtohomebase/sarahconnors?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Laura/The Active Stick](http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=1702299&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) I'm adding more prizes to the hopper on a regular basis (scans to be added to the prize list ASAP - really). The odds of getting something you like are pretty solid, and I'm not sure yet just how many picks people will get, but it will be multiple. You'll get your $5 out of it. Please also remember to send an email to me (1967ers at gmail dot com) and include your mailing address and your PPP id just so I can mail things out correctly when all is said and done. I've posted the Howe as part of the header a couple of times but never really shown what makes it cool. The 1975-76 WHA set is a really nasty one to put together. It books well more than double what any of the rest of them do and it's for two reasons - a short print run and really, really terrible centering. Finding nice, well-cut examples of this is really trying.

On the back of the all-star cards, they showed the full career - both NHL and WHA. For Gordie Howe, this is the only OPC card he'd ever have where you could see the whole thing - 1946-76 (he has a Topps card in 1971-72 that has full stats, but OPC didn't use that one since he'd retired before the season started). Games played and penalty minutes might have been nice, but it's a start. ![Howe753b_medium](http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2537401/howe753b_medium.jpg) Poul Popeil also has a card in the '75-76 WHA set, but this isn't that card. This is his RC, which is just a really nice example of '65-66 Topps. That set has great colours, a clean look and the ever-important cartoon on the back (don't rub the bit where it says to rub - you'll damage your screen). Popeil was a solid offensive defenseman who never got much of a chance with the [Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/boston-bruins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). He'd get his real break with expansion, putting in a couple years on the [Kings](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/los-angeles-kings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)' blue line before becoming an inaugural Canuck. He'd then move to Houston, putting in a number of good seasons as a teammate of Gordie Howe. He peaked at 68 points and a plus-53 in 1976-77.

Played his junior here, though.) **The Questions:** 19\. Who is the only player to have played professional hockey for the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and professional baseball - also for the Toronto Maple Leafs (not today's semi-pro team)? 20\. There is only one player in North America to win six consecutive professional hockey championships (both NHL and minor league). Who is he? **Standings:** Grabovski's better than you think - 8 Sknut - 7 Joanie loves Chachi - 2 Death\_By\_Leafs - 2 <--- New arrival with a big day! Cornelius Hardenbergh - 1 Learn2Leaf - 1
