Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Penguin won back-to-back Conn Smythe trophies as playoff MVP in 1991 and 1992?

Answer: Mario Lemieux

Lemieux was the catalyst for the Penguins successive runs to the Stanley Cup.

2. Which Penguin sniper had a season in which he scored over 50 goals and amassed over 200 penalty minutes?

Answer: Kevin Stevens

The American born player was a deadly combination of power and finesse until injuries took their toll.

3. The Penguins came back from 3-1 in two playoff series' during their championship years. Name either opponent.

Answer: Washington Capitals & New York Rangers

The Penguins came back against Washington in 1991 and it was a crucial confidence builder for the team. The second time was against the Rangers in 1992, and this was done mostly without Mario Lemieux who was sidelined with an injured wrist.

4. Which Devil shooter fell victim to "the save" by Frank Pieterangelo?

Answer: Peter Stastny

What a save that was! However, replays showed that Stastny had close to half the net to shoot at, and still somehow found the glove of "the man with three first names".

5. Penguin veteran Bryan Trottier played for both Canada and the United States in international play?

Answer: True

Trottier was born in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, and first played internationally for Canada. He later switched allegiance to the United States, citing his dual citizenship due to his first nations heritage.

Answer: The Option Line

This line carried the 90-91 Pens. It was broken up at the trade deadline when John Cullen was sent to Hartford in the Ron Francis deal. A pretty good trade for Pittsburgh.

7. Which all-star defensemen was out with a broken jaw for most of the '91 Stanley Cup run.

Answer: Paul Coffey

Paul Coffey missed a large portion of the playoffs but was healthy enough to hoist the Cup at the presentation with Lemieux and Bob Errey.

8. How many consecutive games did the Penguins win to clinch the '92 Stanley Cup?

Answer: 11

After winning 3 in a row to eclipse the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh ran off successive sweeps of Boston and Chicago to win the Cup.

9. Name the 4 time NHL scoring champ who was a rookie and a sophomore during their two Cup triumphs.

Answer: Jaromir Jagr

Jagr was the heir apparent to Gretzky and Lemieux in the scoring race.

10. Who scored the Game 7 winner for the New York Islanders in the second round of the '93 playoffs?

Answer: David Volek

David Volek hammered it home.
