S47 VHL This Week Trivia: Week 3 Results

[Victor 11,009]

The deadline has passed and the results are in! But first, the answers...

 

Part A:

 

1. Name the only goalie with two seasons of a .940 save percentage or better. (Credit to Smarch)
ANSWER: In these days where .920 is seen as a good season, it seems remarkable what numbers were seen in the early days of the VHL. Playing on a terrible Vasteras team, Anton Nygard benefited the most by reaching the .940 mark twice including when he set the surely untouchable record.

2. What was the name of the VHL franchise in Amstel (correct spelling is essential here)? (Credit to Hybrid)
ANSWER: Before they were the HC Davos Dynamo and before they were the awkwardly named Avangard Havoc, the franchise spent S1 as the terribly named Amstel Tijgers, which isn't even a city but a river (or beer), though it is the correct word for tiger in Dutch. Fortunately their GM, who passed on Scotty Campbell 1st overall, promptly went inactive and amends were made by moving the franchise to Omsk... err, Avangard Omsk without the Omsk. The HC in front of Davos these days is comparatively logical.
You could have found this here or here and probably other places.

 

3. Which player(s) has/have won the most World Cup medals? (Credit to Velevra)
ANSWER: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/22461-world-cup-medals/
Like the whole top 10, Kristian Carlsson and Lars Berger benefited from Scandinavia's great run in the 20s and went to extra lengths to play in 5 World Cups before retiring and get the maximum possible amount of medals.

 

4. Not picked, will be reused next week

Part B:
The member whose player was drafted 5th overall in S4 has GMed how many VHL franchises?
ANSWER: Arguably the best player of an average S4 draft was Sandro's first-gen Fabian Brunnstrom. Sandro has since been inducted as Builder for his work as GM of Seattle (S16-S20) and Toronto (S26-S35) winning a cup each and setting up more successful teams when he resigned.
