Did you make time for Fluto’s story about Milan Lucic’s return to the Bruins this week? Be sure to check it out, it’s an interesting look at what brings a player back to a team after years away.
Lucic isn’t the only prodigal son who returned to a former team this year. We’ve seen Trevor Lewis head back to Los Angeles, Laurent Brossoit return to Winnipeg, and Tony DeAngleo get another chance in Carolina. Those guys are following in a rich history of NHL players returning to former teams, a storyline that everyone in this league seems to love. Big stars, virtual unknowns, and everyone in between – as their careers wind on, they often find themselves back in a familiar uniform.
So today, we’re going to honor those comeback stories by flipping the script on our usual quiz format. Most time, we play a game called “Who didn’t he play for?”, where I give you a player and you try to figure out which team never employed him. This time, we’re going “Who did he play for twice?”, in which I give you a player and you… actually, if you can’t figure it out from the title, I’m not sure any further explanation can help you.
As always, we’ll have 16 names to test your memory, ranging from super-easy to take-a-guess. Complete the quiz, then scroll back up to check your score and see how you did.
0 – 2 right: You’re Peter Forsberg returning to the Avalanche and lasting two games.
3 – 5 right: You’re Mark Messier returning to the Rangers with a footprint on your back.
6 – 8 right: You’re Luc Robitaille returning to the Kings.
9 – 11 right: You’re Luc Robitaille returning to the Kings. No, the other time.
12 – 15 right: You’re Roberto Luongo returning to the Panthers and rediscovering your magic.
16 right: You’re Teemu Selanne returning to the Ducks to win the Stanley Cup.
