These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-01-30,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 3, Round 3 - Sports - NHL Enforcers and Bad Guys
Although they're becoming rarer these days, the hockey enforcer
has been a part of the game since the National Hockey League's
inception. Here are a few of the most famous tough guys and a
few who made headlines off the ice, as well. In each case, name
the player.
1. This forward remains the NHL's career leader in penalty
minutes with a staggering 3,966 minutes during the regular
season. His 14-year career was spent with 5 different clubs,
including 5 successful seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In 1980-81, playing for the Vancouver Canucks, he scored a
career-high 35 goals -- the most of any Canuck that year --
while amassing a league-leading 343 penalty minutes.
2. This left-winger provided both physical presence and offensive
punch for the New York Islanders during their 4-season run as
Stanley Cup champions from 1979-80 to 1982-83. In a career
that spanned 958 games, he notched 319 goals and 1,023 penalty
minutes. In 1996 his #9 jersey was retired by the Islanders.
3. This right-winger was one of the most effective enforcers in
NHL history. In an infamous 1979 incident at Madison Square
Garden, a Rangers fan hit a Boston player in the face with a
rolled-up program. In response, *this* Boston player scaled
the glass boards and charged into the stands. His teammates
followed when other fans tried to intervene. He was suspended
for 8 games for his part in the ensuing brawl.
4. Nicknamed "The Hammer", this left-winger was one of hockey's
greatest enforcers and holds the NHL record for most penalty
minutes in a single season at 472. He was a member of the
Philadelphia Flyers' infamous "Broad Street Bullies".
5. This enforcer played for the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple
Leafs, Washington Capitals, and Quebec Nordiques for a total of
7 NHL seasons. While with the Leafs he wore #27, formerly worn
by star players Darryl Sittler and Frank Mahovlich. But off
the ice he had problems: 27 was also his age when he died of
a drug overdose and other causes.
6. Known as a hard-nosed tough-guy center -- and as the last guy
in the NHL not to wear a helmet -- this player had a decent
career with several different teams from 1979-80 to 1996-97.
In 1984 he was involved in a car accident while intoxicated,
resulting in the death of a woman. He was tried and convicted
of vehicular homicide and handed a 1-year jail term. When he
got out, he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers, which was the
best thing that ever happened to him as a player.
7. From 1985 to 2002, this heavyweight right-winger was one of
the most feared bruisers on the ice. With the Detroit Red
Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, he scored 163 goals. His off-ice
scuffles with the law, largely due to his drug use, were
equally legendary. In March 1989, he was apprehended at the
US-Canada border with 14 grams of cocaine, for which he served
a 90-day jail sentence. In 1990 he was reinstated in the NHL
and went on to play for another decade, though he continued to
have run-ins with the police even after his retirement.
8. A defenseman from 1983-84 to 1999-2000 for the Los Angeles
Kings and 5 other teams, this player is likely one of the most
notorious hockey goons ever to play in the NHL. He was the
first to be suspended for a full year for an on-ice incident,
after he slashed the Vancouver Canucks' Donald Brashear on the
head. In addition to the league suspension, he was convicted
of assault in a Canadian court and given 18 months probation.
The incident effectively terminated his NHL career.
9. A talented right-winger, this player broke into the NHL in 1995
with the New York Islanders. In 2004, while with the Vancouver
Canucks, he sucker-punched Colorado Avalanche enforcer Steve
Moore, causing career-ending injuries including broken vertebrae
in the neck. He was handed an indefinite suspension by the
league, was convicted of assault, and was sentenced to a year
of probation. In the 2005-06 season, he was allowed to resume
playing in the NHL. He retired in 2014.
10. This left-winger, who played for the Detroit Red Wings,
L.A. Kings, Dallas Stars, and New York Rangers, was well known
for his aggressive playing style and controversial behaviour
both on and off the ice. When two of his ex-girlfriends were
dating other NHLers, he gained notoriety by telling reporters,
"It's become a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love
with my sloppy seconds".

> 1. This forward remains the NHL's career leader in penalty

> punch for the New York Islanders during their 4-season run as
> Stanley Cup champions from 1979-80 to 1982-83. In a career
> that spanned 958 games, he notched 319 goals and 1,023 penalty
> minutes. In 1996 his #9 jersey was retired by the Islanders.
> 3. This right-winger was one of the most effective enforcers in
> NHL history. In an infamous 1979 incident at Madison Square
> Garden, a Rangers fan hit a Boston player in the face with a
> rolled-up program. In response, *this* Boston player scaled
> the glass boards and charged into the stands. His teammates
> followed when other fans tried to intervene. He was suspended
> for 8 games for his part in the ensuing brawl.
> 4. Nicknamed "The Hammer", this left-winger was one of hockey's
> greatest enforcers and holds the NHL record for most penalty
> minutes in a single season at 472. He was a member of the
> Philadelphia Flyers' infamous "Broad Street Bullies".

> In 1984 he was involved in a car accident while intoxicated,

> 8. A defenseman from 1983-84 to 1999-2000 for the Los Angeles
> Kings and 5 other teams, this player is likely one of the most
> notorious hockey goons ever to play in the NHL. He was the

In the absence of the ability to redirect output and input, a still
clumsier method would have been to require the "ls" command to accept user
requests to paginate its output, to print in multi-column format, and
to arrange that its output be delivered off-line. Actually it would be
surprising, and in fact unwise for efficiency reasons, to expect authors
of commands such as "ls" to provide such a wide variety of output options.
