Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Bobby Orr

Orr's amazing goal gave the Bruins their first Stanley Cup win in 29 years. The image of Orr leaping over the crease after being upended by St. Louis Blues' defenseman Noel Picard has been photographed, framed, and placed on the walls of just about every known bar in Boston.

2. This New Jersey Devil's forward scored the goal that gave his team their second Stanley Cup in 2000 against the Dallas Stars.

Answer: Jason Arnott

With a pass fed to him from the blue line, Arnott roofs the puck over the shoulder of Dallas goaltender, Eddie Belfour, securing a second Stanley Cup title for the New Jersey devils in OT of game 6.

3. This German-born defenseman scored the cup-winning goal in the 1996 finals to give the Colorado Avalanche their first Stanley Cup victory.

Answer: Uwe Krupp

After scoring the only tally in game 4 of the 96' Cup Finals, Krupp was greeted with adulation by his Colorado teammates and also by hundreds of rubber toy rats thrown by bitter Florida Panthers' fans. The rat-throwing had become a season-long tradition by Florida fans after each game their team won.

4. In 1980, this Islanders forward gave Long Island its first Stanley Cup with an unforgettable goal against Philadelphia goalie Pete Peeters.

Answer: Bob Nystrom

With a deke on Philly goaltender, Pete Peeters, Nystrom's goal ushered in a New York dynasty over the NHL that would bring four Stanley Cups to the Long Island area from 1980 to 1983.

5. In the 1999 Cup Finals, this player's controversial goal had him in the crease in the eyes of Buffalo Sabres Fans, but not in the view of Dallas Stars fans.

Answer: Brett Hull

While enduring a tough battle in front of the crease of Buffalo goalie, Dominick Hasek, Hull manages to slide one through giving him and the Dallas Stars their first Cup victory. Nevertheless, a review of the tape showed Hull's skate dangerously close to the crease. The crease rule was abolished the following year.
