Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which team won the Stanley Cup?

Answer: Montreal Canadiens

The Canadiens beat the Kings in five games. Their first three wins were all in overtime.
2. Who won the Art Ross trophy, totalling an unbelievable 160 points in only 60 games?

Answer: Mario Lemieux

Mario had 69 goals and 91 assists. If he had played all 84 games that year, and kept the same scoring rate (2.67 points per game), he would have picked up 224 points, well above the all time record of 215 set by Wayne Gretzky in 1985-1986.
3. Which two players tied for the most goals scored at 76 each?

Answer: Alexander Mogilny & Teemu Selanne

Both players had their best years in terms of scoring, and it was Teemu's rookie season. Lemieux had 69 goals, Robitaille had 63, Bure had 60, Yzerman had 58, Hull had 54, and Jagr had 34.
4. In the Stanley Cup Finals, whose stick blade was judged to have an illegal curve, giving Montreal a crucial power-play, that led to a game-tying goal?

Answer: Marty McSorley

The saddest moment in LA Kings history: The Canadiens knew all along that McSorley's blade was too curved, but waited until the right time to call for the measurement. Down a goal with minutes left in regulation, Montreal called for the measurement. Montreal tied the game and then won in overtime.

Many Kings fans still suspect some form of conspiracy, and still retain bitterness toward Montreal some 10 years later.
5. Which player did not have his best year, in terms of points scored, in 1992-1993?

Answer: Jaromir Jagr

Jagr had 94 points in 1992-1993, but his career high was in 1995-1996 with 149. Adam Oates had 142 points, Reechi had 123 and Robitaille had 125, personal bests for all three.
6. Who was not a rookie (by league definition) in 1992-1993?

Answer: Nicklas Lidstrom

Lidstrom's rookie year was 1991-1992. Lindros and Selanne both played their first NHL games in 1992-1993. Tkachuk played 17 games in 1991-1992, but a player is a rookie if he starts a season with fewer than 25 games played.
7. Who was named rookie of the year in probably the easiest decision ever?

Answer: Teemu Selanne

Selanne's 76 goals (132 points total), guaranteed him the Calder Trophy. Juneau did very well also with 102 points, Lindros had 75, and Ozolinsh, a defenseman, had 23 points.
8. Which of these players led the league in assists, with 97?

Answer: Adam Oates

Oates picked up more assists than Lemieux, despite the fact that Bruins' power forward Cam Neely played only 13 games.
9. Which team had the league's best record?

Answer: Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh went 56-21-7, earning them the President's Trophy. Boston was 51-26-7, Chicago was 47-25-12, and Vancouver was 46-29-9. Each of these teams won their respective divisions.
10. Which team moved after the 1992-1993 season?

Answer: Minnesota North Stars

Minnesota moved to Dallas, where they emerged as an elite club within a few years.
11. Which team did not exist in 1992-1993?

Answer: Anaheim Mighty Ducks

Anaheim entered the NHL in 1993-1994, along with the Florida Panthers.
12. Which team had the league's worst record of 10-70-4, for only 24 points?

Answer: Ottawa Senators

San Jose also had only 24 points, but with an 11-71-2 record. With only 10 wins, Ottawa was officially in last place. Also, Ottawa was accused of throwing their last game so that they could get the first draft pick, which was Alexandre Daigle. In 1993-1994, Ottawa did not need to throw the last game, as they finished with 37 points, 20 points below second-to-last place Winnipeg.
13. Who was the #1 pick overall in the 1992 entry draft?

Answer: Roman Hamrlik

Hamrlik was #1 overall, drafted by Tampa Bay. Yashin was #2 drafted by Ottawa. Kasparitis was #5 drafted by the Islanders. Khabibulin is the surprise out of the group, drafted in the ninth round, 204th overall by the Jets.
14. Who won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman?

Answer: Chris Chelios

Chelios won his second Norris in 1993, having won it earlier in 1989. Leetch won in 1992. Bourque won in 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, and 1994. Coffey won it in 1985, 1986, and 1995. Chelios had 73 points, and was +14 in 84 games.
15. Who won the Vezina trophy as the top goalie in the NHL?

Answer: Ed Belfour

Belfour picked up his second Vezina in 1993, having won in 1991 also. The following season, Hasek began his ownership of the award, winning it six times in the next eight years. Hasek has won the award more times than anyone since 1982, when the format for awarding the Vezina changed, up to the end of the 20th century.
16. Which of these 100-point scorers, was not a Pittsburgh Penguin in 1992-1993?

Answer: Luc Robitaille

Robitaille played for Pittsburgh for one season in 1994-1995. In 1992-1993, he played in L.A.
17. You'll have to guess on this one, but out of the 24 NHL teams in 1992-1993 season, how many scored more than 300 goals in the regular season?

Answer: 15

That's a lot of goals. Detroit led with 369. In the 2001-2002 season, for comparison, the Canucks had the most with only 254.
18. Which goalie (or goalies) received the Jennings Trophy, meaning he/they played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals against?

Answer: Ed Belfour

Belfour's Blackhawks allowed only 230 goals.
19. Wayne Gretzky played more regular season games in 1992-1993 than Mario Lemieux?

Answer: False

Gretzky played in just 45 games, while Lemieux played in 60.
20. Which future ESPN commentator coached the LA Kings in 1992-1993?

Answer: barry melrose

If the Canadiens hadn't won the Cup, Melrose probably would have continued coaching.
