Murray-gate

Hockey Digest, Jan-Feb, 2004 by Jeff Chapin

In the December "Quick Quiz," the first question asks: "Who led the Eastern Conference in goals scored last season?" Your answer is Glen Murray, with 44, but I'm sure Marian Hossa scored 45 goals last season for the Ottawa Senators. Was this an underhanded attempt to make sure that all of the answers to the "Quick Quiz" involved the name "Murray?"

Jeff, you're right and you're right. The "Quiz" was indeed an homage to hockey's Murrays, and the first question should have asked: "Who finished second in the Conference in goals scored last season?"
