One of the most popular NES sports games is also one of the strangest - the single-player mode involves you taking six scrappy Americans on a quest for a world championship. Team USA must first defeat a rival American squad before traveling to England, India, Iceland(??), Kenya, Japan, and the USSR, all while trying to avoid being eliminated and turned into tiny angels that float offscreen. Oh, and if you beat the USSR, you then have to beat super-powered doppelgangers of Team USA in a match that for some reason also takes place on the Red Square. What sport is this weird game about, anyway?

In the 1993-94 season, the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup. In the 2002-03 season, the New Jersey Devils won the Stanley Cup. Name the goalie who was on the roster of both teams the year before they won, but not the year of their victory. He was a starter for the Rangers for many seasons, but only appeared in five games for the Devils in 2001-02, his last year in the NHL. That year, the Devils lost to the Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals…the second time in his career this player had fallen in the finals to the Avalanche.
