Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Flyer was the only one to play in all 82 games?

Answer: Mike Knuble

Jeff Carter did play in 81 games, but missed one due to an ear injury. As a result of the injuries, 12 rookies debuted for the Flyers in 2005-06.

2. How long did it take for Peter Forsberg to score his first goal as a Flyer?

Answer: October 27th vs. Florida

After a long drought, Forsberg finally finished off his first goal, a game-tying goal with 50 seconds left in regulation, in a game the Flyers eventually won in overtime.

3. How many total players suited up for the Flyers during the season?

Answer: 34

Due to the vast amount of injuries, many of the Calder Cup winning members of the AHL affiliate, the Phantoms, were thrown into the NHL ranks, leading to the total of 34 players.

4. Peter Forsberg scored a goal the first time he faced his old team, the Colorado Avalanche.

Answer: True

It didn't occur until late in the 3rd period of the game. Down 3-1 with 3:06 to go, Mike Knuble scored, followed by Forsberg. Despite the heroics, Colorado went on to win in overtime on Alex Tanguay's goal.

5. In one of the team's 8 meetings against the New York Rangers, Simon Gagne scored the quickest goal in Flyers overtime history. How long did it take him?

Answer: 7 seconds

After Peter Forsberg slid the puck into the offensive zone, Gagne scored from a sharp angle on Kevin Weekes to end the OT as quickly as it had begun.

6. Which rookie star tied for the Flyers team lead in game-winning goals with 7?

Answer: Jeff Carter

Carter tied Gagne with 7 game-winning goals. But Gagne, obviously, was no rookie in 2005-06.

7. The injury-prone Peter Forsberg missed how many games in 2005-06?

Answer: 22

Forsberg was hobbled by a recurring groin injury, which took him out for many little stints on the season. He was still able to score 75 points despite the injuries.

8. In the Flyers' short playoff run of 6 games, how many of the team's goals involved Peter Forsberg by either goal or assist?

Answer: 8

Of the team's 14 total goals in the playoffs, Forsberg had a role in 8 of them, 3 coming in game 4 (2 goals and 1 assist).

9. Who was runner-up to leader Simon Gagne for team goals?

Answer: Mike Knuble

Knuble set his career high in goals in his first season in Philadelphia, largely in part to his stellar linemates, Gagne and Peter Forsberg.

10. Antero Niittymaki and Robert Esche, the two goalies for the Flyers, had the same exact goals against average and number of wins.

Answer: False

They did both have the same GAA, 2.97, but Niittymaki won 1 more contest than Esche, 23 to 22.
