Tuesday Trivia

February 25th, 1978

Sabres 13 – Barons 3 Playing in the Coliseum at Richfield, Ohio 47 seasons ago the Buffalo Sabres fell behind 2-1 with seven minutes remaining in the first period.

Buffalo then proceeded to score the next 10 goals to go up 11-2, putting three of them into the net during the first three minutes of the third period, the Barons put on a brave face scoring their third and final goal to get within eight with five and a half minutes remaining in the game.

Two quick power plays during the final three minutes put Buffalo up 13-3 with 42 seconds to play.

Which Sabres defenseman scored two power play goals in the third period, and earned three assists during the second period?

A) Jim Schoenfeld

B) Jerry Korab

C) Bill Hajt

D) Jocelyn Guevremont

Last week’s answer: Roger Neilson

In the spirit of the 3-way tie between Paper_girl, Oldfan2010, and Anonymous atop the standings, Challenger70 has been given a bye into the TT contest, with their first response considered practice, similar to a backup goaltender receiving a chance to warmup before entering the game.

    Oldfan says that’s only an educated guess.

    I told him I didn’t recognize the team name Barons.

    He explained to me that the Cleveland Barons were an AHL team for a long time (Johnny Bower played with them for about 10 years) that combined with the Minnesota North Stars to become a NHL team. The team later folded and eventually became the Dallas Stars. Is this accurate?

    1. Thank you for submitting all three selections for Tuesday Trivia.

      Oldfan2010’s AHL assessment of the Cleveland Barons is a bit off, the AHL Barons never made it to the NHL, initially played in the IHL, then the AHL and went by three names, Indians, Falcons, and finally Barons, joined the AHL in 1936 as the Falcons, name changed to Barons for next season, finally after being rejected by the NHL the AHL Barons owner purchased a WHL franchise (Crusaders) and moved his AHL team in 1973 to Florida where the AHL Cleveland/Florida Barons played for one final season.

      In 1976 the owner of the NHL California Seals purchased the name “Cleveland Barons” (for the price of dinner with the Baron’s owner) and relocated the team to Ohio, where the NHL Cleveland Barons played for two seasons accumulating in the final year a 15-game losing streak, and with no attempt to build a fan base it made the merger with Minnesota relatively simple for the NHL, and this team eventually became the Dallas Stars.
