0 Guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Boston Bruins Well, that's certainly a huge shove in the right direction. Not the answer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well, that's certainly a huge shove in the right direction. Not the answer though. Yeah, my first thought is something with hockey...I was thinking a canadian player that scored 40 goals in one season, so I started thinking Mario Lemieux...but I'm a bit rusty on my hockey facts...

0 Guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 First defenceman to score 40 goals in a season: Bobby Orr, Boston Bruin He revolutionized the game, absolutely revamping the way that defensemen were viewed and how they would play the game for decades to come. He scored his 40 in a time when defensive minded skaters scored maybe once or twice. I have the last stick he ever used, signed and hanging on my wall. He was incredible. Bobby Orr. Anyways, well done Shakee, as expected. Explanation: I spent many years, As a fearsome black bear. -> Played for the Boston Bruins When I was a Native for two, Most really didn't care -> Also played as a Chicago Blackhawk (whose mascot is a Native American) for two seasons From North of the border, -> Good old Canadian Commute for the tea -> Another reference to Boston When they ask who changed the game Everyone better say me! -> See above First to get Forty in One -> Scored 40 goals in one season (1974-1975 season) And Two in the total -> Won two Art Ross trophies, awarded to the most outstanding offensive player (1969-1970 and '74-'75 again). This is especially of note because he remains the only defensemen to EVER accomplish this, and in sports, records are made to be broken. Do you know who's the subject Of this riddle, anecdotal? Also, the "Or, maybe not" in the header was meant to be a little guiding clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
