CrookedThumb Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I'm thinking the Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 On this one, you're thinking correctly--although actually he did appear in four games for the Flames--during their last year in Atlanta--he was traded at his request to stay on a US based team...I think he also mad a few appearances as a North Star too...

If you read this the minute I posted, you would have seen that I said both Atlanta and Boston, but I thought two guesses weren't allowed so I edited my post.

Stampman Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Okay--no problem--just agreeing with you...And I believe Tank is looking for the Bruins, based on the wording of the Stumper...

STL FANATIC Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yeah, I would have gone with Bruins. According to Miracle the movie, Atlanta was trying to sign him prior to the Olympics. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbarclay09 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 2 years after the olympics I saw Jim Craig allow 6 goals in 2 periods with the Erie Blades of the AHL. A night to remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 It helps to watch SportsCentury Jim Craig. The answer is the Atlanta Flames, when they moved to Calgary they traded him to Boston becuase having an American olympian would not mean much in bringing people to the game for a team in Canada.
