nash61 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Similar to the popular film game, I wonder just how easy this would be for sports teams? One rule, though, links must be direct teammates in their respective LEAGUES. Example: Joe Sakic to Jarome Iginla= Joe Sakic -> Alex Tanguay -> Jarome Iginla (Olympic teams and All-Star Games DON'T COUNT) First one: Jack Adams to Matt Stajan 1. Jack Adams to King Clancy (1927 Senators) 2. King Clancy to Turk Broda (1936 Leafs) 3. Turk Broda to Tim Horton (1952 Leafs) 4. Tim Horton to Dave Keon (1970 Leafs) 5. Dave Keon to Ron Francis (1982 Whalers) 6. Ron Francis to Matt Stajan (2004 Leafs) On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

cmm Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Baseball Reference has this on their site: http://www.baseball-reference.com/oracle/ It's fun to play around with. Seems like Minnie Minoso is in most long chains because of his 1976 and 1980 cameos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsim1 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The very first first-overall NHL draft pick, Garry Monahan, to the most recent first-overall in Connor McDavid? *Garry Monahan drafted, 1963* Garry Monahan to Joel Quenneville ('78 Maple Leafs) Joel Quenneville to Peter Bondra ('90 Capitals) Peter Bondra to Sergei Gonchar ('03 Capitals) Sergei Gonchar to Mark Letestu ('09 Penguins) Mark Letestu to Connor McDavid ('15 Oilers) That's five.
