Hunh, apparently Tim Clark is South African.

We should have gone with Richie Ashburn again for lols.

So, what do Stenson, Bjorn, Elkington, Westwood, Els, and Clark have in common?

They are the 6 golfers that have finished 2nd/T2 when Phil Mickelson won his 5 majors.

killing it!

Have a good night!

well i certainly can't come there!

maybe Cruizn can get me into Mexico...
(oh wait, he's from Chicago, ****)

I'm afraid this hockey round will kill our momentum

Oh dear we didn't submit. Would have scored 2 FWIW

That went quite poorly. Welp. I got nothing. I led the team to a poor finish that round. Ghana try to do better.

Nice work, Faxers. And if you think I've been useless on the first two Qs, you ain't seen nothin' yet -- I know ****-all about hockey.

Decent chance my usefulness is behind us tbh.

got a feeling we have a decent shot at the next category

I might know some of the hockey

While this thread's a bit quiet, I'm thinking of running a baseball trivia in a couple weeks time to get us going for spring training and regular season. Mentioned it in the MLB offseason thread and there didn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot of interest, so I thought I'd mention it here. May need to open it up to general sports trivia if there's not enough interest in a strictly MLB one.

It's time for Round 3!

ROUND 3 - HOCKEY
In this round, I am going to describe 5 NHL players (either retired or active) that are part of a larger group. Each correct answer will earn your team 1 point, and your team will earn 5 points if you answer the commonality correctly.

I am looking for a very specific commonality this round.

*** PARTIAL POINTS CAN AND WILL BE EARNED AT MY DISCRETION ***

#1 - 1 point
I was born in 1977 in Montreal. I played for 5 different teams during my career, and made one all-star appearance (in 2009). I retired in August 2014, and at the time of my retirement, I was the last active former Hartford Whaler in the NHL. I was a goaltender. Who am I?

#2 - 1 point
I was born in 1979 in Fort Saskatchewan, AB. I played defense for 7 different teams, and played one season in the KHL before retiring. I wore # 22 for most of my career, but there was a movement late in my NHL career to give me jersey # 64. I was part of the Canadian team that won the 2007 Worlds in Moscow, and I won't be invited to Mike Babcock's house for dinner anytime soon. Who am I?

#3 - 1 point
I was born in 1979 in Edmonton, and ended up playing for (and captaining) the Oilers at the end of my career. I played defense for 4 different teams, and during the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, I made an obscene finger gesture towards the Montreal fans, which I tried to pass off as an "equipment malfunction". I retired this past September. Who am I?

#4 - 1 point
I was born in late 1973 in Peterborough, ON. I played both wings during my career, but was primarily a LW. I achieved my career-high of 80 points during the 2003-04 season, my lone year in Tampa Bay. I am now part of Carolina's player development staff, after retiring as a Hurricane in September of 2011. Who am I?

#5 - 1 point
I was born in 1975 in Laval, and I wore # 26 in honor of Mats Naslund. On November 28th, 2014, I became the 81st member of the NHL's 1,000-point club. I also won Gold as part of Team Canada in Sochi, but only after Steven Stamkos was ruled out with an injury. That whole fiasco played a part in my departure from my former home of 13 seasons, but on January 13th, I returned, and my number 26 was the first to be retired by the Tampa Bay Lightning franchise. Who am I?

#6 - 5 points
What do the above 5 players all have in common? And remember, the more specific you can be, the better!

This round closes at 12:45 pm Eastern on Thursday, February 2nd. Please have one team member submit your team's entry via PM to me.

Good luck!

Would also be in.

Racist questions imo

Picking Norwegian born NHLers narrows the field quite a bit though

in in in in in

I'm sure there are plenty of scandinavians though
