Who was offered asylum by Florida governor Jeb Bush shortly after an incident which occurred on October 14, 2003?

Steve Bartman.





Bartman interfered with Chicago Cubs' left fielder Moises Alou's attempt to catch a fly ball in game 6 of the NLCS, when the Cubs were leading 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning, and leading the series 3-2. The Marlins won the game, the NLCS and the World Series.

Nope.

Langway never had more than 13 assists in any of the seasons in which he was scoreless.

To clarify the question, the NHL record holder for most points in a season without scoring a goal was also an NHL team Captain. I didn't specify if his captaincy was prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to his record-setting season. This player is not currently the Captain of an NHL team.

Which Art Ross Trophy winner also led the NHL in penalty minutes in one of his seasons?

Gordie Howe

Nope.

Gordie was the NHL scoring champ six times, but he never led the league in sin bin minutes. This is perhaps because Howe had 'diplomatic immunity' for all elbowing infractions, and the forcible removal of a young man's front teeth was considered a rite of passage in pro hockey, as is also the case in several isolated traditional human groups of interest to National Geographic staff and subscribers.

Which Art Ross Trophy winner also led the NHL in penalty minutes in one of his seasons?

Maurice Richard

Which Art Ross Trophy winner also led the NHL in penalty minutes in one of his seasons?

Maurice Richard

Nope.

The Rocket who wasn't Roger Clemens never led the NHL in scoring, mostly because he was a puck-hog. He did, however, have 100 or more penalty minutes in five different seasons, (league leader in 1952-53), and only four seasons with 40 or more goals.

The correct answer isn't going to be someone who played in the 'pre Original Six ' NHL era, because the Art Ross Trophy for scoring the most points was first awarded in 1947-48.
