Theme Week Third Period

Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Guess the NHL Star Week! Steve Begin, Ben Middleton, or Sam Endicott


That's kinda cute, with the names...a Theme within the Theme Week.


I have to admit, I had a little too much fun putting together the lists for this week's quiz. Once again, just like the last 2 days, all of the "participants" in today's puzzle are real people...you just have to tell me which one is the NHL player.


So how about some standings?


Nope. Theme week policy is never to give out standings mid-way through the week, but I can tell you that there is a bit of a logjam for first place. So keep those entries coming, folks!


Well, I know you can tell us the answer to yesterday's. Have at it.


Absolutely! Here's yesterday's list:
  • Evgeny Dragunov was a Russian weapons designer most famous for his eponymous semi-automatic sniper rifle, recently featured on the USA TV Series “Burn Notice.”
  • Vyacheslav Kozlov is an NHL Left-Winger, currently playing for the Atlanta Thrashers.
  • Maxim Mikhaylov was a member of the 2008 Russian Men’s Indoor Volleyball team which won the bronze medal in Beijing.

As I recall, announcer Kevin Barnett called Mikhaylov a "terminal hitter." A terminal hitter is someone who, when set, hits the ball so hard the point is guaranteed to end. The ball may be an undiggable hit and a kill for his team. The ball may be stuff-blocked straight down for a point for the opposing team. That part is unimportant. The point ends after he contacts the ball.
