stand on your head to make it more a gme time experience. also sean does tend to make my answers shorter, so you get a rare extra verbose answer section!

1) True. Henry Samueli is currently trying to renegotiate a plea bargain for lying about a 2.2 billion-dollar illegal corporate stock backdating scandal and has been placed on suspension by the NHL as a result.

2) True. Chris has over 130 career goals, the Blues will dress around 75 goals, lead by Eric Brewer’s 48.

3) False. Mighty Joe Young is from Africa and King Kong was from an unknown island near Indonesia.

4) Randy has yet to win the top NHL coaching accolade, the Jack Adams Award.

5) Cam Janssen’s 20 minutes is the lowest of the list.

6) Mia Sovino won a best supporting actress Oscar. Woody was nominated for writing but did not win.

7) Chris Pronger. Paul Kariya has captained the Ducks but has not held that honor as a Blue to date.

8) The Rangers traded Todd to the Oilers for Craig Mactavish who would eventually be Todd’s Oiler head coach.

9) Brendan Morrison. He was the NHL active leader in consecutive games played at 542 games when that streak ended.

10) Andrew Brunette hasn’t missed a game since the 2000-2001 season, and that season he played 81 games.

Thanks for posting the answers. Now I’ve got 100% right, but I’m getting strange looks from Milodog while I’m standing on my head.

I’d like to offer my thanks to (I believe it was Dooks) for offering up that you’d let Pietrangelo go. I think he’ll be a nice pickup. :)

yeah, I dropped him like 3 hours or so before his first game back, thinking he’d be out for longer, but then again I picked up a guy who is producing pretty well this early in the season. if Piets didn’t get injured, I still may have dropped him when Ryan Whitney comes back from his injury
