Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Before the season started, there was a conference/division change for a lot of teams. Which two teams were moved from the West to the Eastern conference?

Answer: Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets

The change finally came after both teams pleaded for years to be in the Eastern conference. Both teams thought, because of their geographical location, that they should be in the East. Once Atlanta relocated in 2011 (to Winnipeg) they believed they should be in the West, after 2 seasons, all 3 teams got their wish.

2. Before the season started, there was a conference/division change- the NHL went from 6 divisions (3 each conference) to what number?

Answer: 4 divisions

After this change came, there was some negativity coming from fans, although people came around to the idea. The four divisions were named after divisions from the 2012-13 season, except for the Metropolitan division, which received widely negative reviews after the name came out.

3. What team won the President's Trophy (team with the most points at end of season)?

Answer: Boston Bruins

The Bruins clinched the trophy on April 12, 2014 with a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

4. Ryan Miller, the acclaimed goalie, was traded from the Sabres on March 5, the trade deadline day.

Answer: False

Although Miller was traded, he was traded almost a week prior, on February 28th.

5. Before the season started, there was a conference/division change. What was unusual about the new changes?

Answer: East has 16 teams, West has 14 teams

This was unusual, as that way it made getting to the playoffs a little easier for the West. The reason this happened was because Detroit and Columbus relocated to the East, while Winnipeg moved to the West.

6. What team had the lowest amount of points in the season?

Answer: Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres finished off the season with 15 points less than the second-to-last place team (Edmonton). Edmonton had 67 points, while Buffalo only had 52.

7. Who won the Art Ross Trophy (player with most points at end of season)?

Answer: Sidney Crosby

Crosby had a whopping 17 point lead over second place heading into the final game of the season, basically having clinched it by then! Crosby had 104 points, while the second place person (Ryan Getzlaf) had just 87 points.

8. Before the season started, the New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks both fired their head coaches, and each coach went to the opposite team. Who were the two coaches that were fired?

Answer: John Tortorella and Alain Vigneault

This was unusual because most of the time, each coach does not seem to "swap" teams, like Torto and Vigneault did. Tortorella's perfomrance was basically how he was in NY, having huge tantrums and even trying to sneak into a team's locker room. Under his leadership, the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08. Vigneault actually led the Rangers to be 2nd in their division, clinching a playoff spot.

9. The 8th seed in the East was the last clinch taken, on April 11, 2014.

Answer: False

In fact, the 8th seed in the WEST was the final clinch taken, by the Dallas Stars.

10. What day did the NHL playoffs start?

Answer: April 16, 2014

The playoffs started 3 days after the regular season ended, which is about the usual time it starts. 3 series started the first day, with Pittsburgh being 1-0 against Columbus, Anaheim becoming 1-0 against Dallas, and Montreal becoming 1-0 against Tampa Bay.
