I like this thread. Keep doing it.

I'm going to guess Robb Nen on 3.

 

4. Craig MacTavish?

 

Is 5 John Hadl?

 

Is 3 Alex Fernandez?

 

Is 3 Kevin Brown?

 

There are five faceoff circles and four faceoff dots. I do believe Craig MacTavish was the last player to play without a helmet.

 

2. Mark McGwire.
3. Bryan Harvey.

 

Bumped with updated correct answers. Huggy is correct to say "dots", which I meant, instead of circles, which can be misleading. That's why Canadians are the hockey experts, not us faux Canadians from Erie County.

And one day I'll stump Moddy with a music question. Just might have to change decades.

 

If 5 is not Hadl, is it Daryle Lamonica? Len Dawson? Jack Kemp?
