Sports Trivia 2002.

[Saint]

Makarov.
Calgary.

 

[Dude]

Right team, wrong player.

 

[Saint]

Does that mean that I can ask half of a question? Good. In which country was the first…?

 

[Dude]

What are the rules here? How long am I supposed to hold out? Do I get double points for stumping you cnuts?

Get Sunsai on here...he'll know.

 

[TheRob]

Give the answer and ask another question. Plonker.

 

[Dude]

Sergei Priakin, 1988, Calgary Flames. I think the second one was Mararov, who went on to have a lot more success than Priakin. I remember his first game, Hockey Night in Canada. The poor fcuker looked like a deer in headlights, and played like one too.

Still with hockey:

Which country handed Canada it’s first ever loss in Olympic Hockey? Bonus points for the year.

 

[Fastshow]

easy.........

Rhodesia, 1897.

 

[Dude]

What the???

Ummm...no. Nice effort though.

 

[TheRob]

Chekeslovakia. I butchered the speeling, but you get the picture.

 

[Regs]

USA - 1950

 

[Dude]

TheRob: yes you did, and no.

Regs: no. There were no Olympics in 1950. BUT...the US was the first team ever to not lose to Canada, in 1932 (Lake Placid). After three scoreless OTs with the Yanks, and the score still tied at 2-2, Canada was awarded the Gold medal with a 5-0-1 record.

Fcuk me...that's even worse than winning by shoot-out.

 

[TheRob]

Soviet Union.

 

[Argyle]

The UK. I think, 1936? Might be later. Have to ask Draven for sure!

 

[Dude]

Ding ding ding!

Great Britain (with a team stocked full of Canadian ex-patriots) beat Canada 2-1 en route to winning Gold. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, 1936.

You're up, Argyle.

 

[Argyle]

At the start of English football season, which team does Canadian International, Jason Bent, play for?

 

[TheRob]

Plymouth?

 

[Argyle]

I guess that was a little easy.

Beware when the might Plymouth Argyle take the FA Cup in the year 2---. Heed my words.

Your up TR.

 

[TheRob]

Easy.

What year was the first time a Russian played for a team that won the Stanley Cup, and what team was it?(Terrible English)

 

[Dude]

1995, New Jersey, Fetisov.

 

[TheRob]

I don't want the players name. Just the year and the team he played on. It wasn't '95.
