This is something I came across last night while looking up some things on Hockey Reference. And I think it makes a really good trivia question, so here we are.
Disclaimer: This is a no win situation. If you get it wrong, you get it wrong. If you get it right, you will be accused of being a cheater and judged. Cause I probably would not have guessed this if I had fiddy tries. So here we go:
Of the 10 players who played in the most playoff games in NHL history, 9 of them are Hall of Famers. One is not. Who is he?
Note: This is not like a future Hall of Famer, like a Jaromir Jagr or something like that. So it's not a trick question. This guy played his whole career and will not be making it into the Hall of Fame outside of visiting.

I'll readily admit that I looked this up and was extremely surprised by the answer. It sort of makes sense when you consider who he played for and how long he played for them, but he definitely wouldn't be a name that would spring to mind in... well, any context, really. Except that I used to work with a guy who looked an awful lot like him and I would always remark (in my head, not out loud; wouldn't wanna alarm the guy) the resemblance.

Tukka Rask*
*I know it’s not him, I just love any excuse to use that name.

I had to look him up cause I thought for sure he was a Hall of Famer. And he indeed is

Yeah, this is one of those that almost no one would get but when you do find out it's like "Oh sure, that makes a lot of sense" Had i been asked this question without knowing I'd probably say like Sergei Brylin, what with the homerism in me. But that would have been way off. Like I said, I doubt I would have gotten it in 50 guesses. There's also another name that I would have guessed and it makes sense, but I don't wanna say it yet cause someone might guess him and be wrong

he'd make sense -he was on some dominant teams 3 different franchises that won the Cup. Montreal, Beary's team and my team. Kris Draper is another solid guess.

I wont check it out and i wont make any guess, but it could very well be a Detroit Red Wings player. Some of them must have had an impressive playoff game played total. Especially guys who won the 4 cup, like Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby and Darren McCarty.

Has to be a goon. A goon for a good team (deeper runs in playoff + more games)
Marty McSorley I have no idea if he's in the HOF
