Resurrecting this from New Year's Eve.

What NHL player had a pizza place around Keele and Finch with his name on it. It is no longer there. There may have been other locations that I am not aware of.
Hint. He is a Hall of Famer so his playing was obviously better than his pizza.

In the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, two players were selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies, who later played for the Toronto Raptors. Who are they?

Nobody is going to get both of them so take your best shot at one of them. I say this question will still be here, unanswered, at the end of the month. This one is more "Sports Minutae" than Trivia, even though true basketball fans would have heard of both. One of them was one of my personal favorite Raptors, from the SkyDome era.

Guys, keep in mind that I'm trying to come up with valid questions to stump whole teams of people who cover sports for a living, so if no one here can get some of mine, that's really a good sign we could handily beat all comers, with a posted score to beat.

Reggie Slater.
Correct!

Props to smitherz and gcostanza. I just found that in research. There's no rule that you have to know all the information before posing a question, you just can't reseach the answer before replying. I liked Reggie Slater a lot. He was 6'7", but built like a mini Shaq. Great hops straight up, from under the basket, not a polished game, but he gave what he had, regardless of the score. I'll bet a lot of teams wouldn't get that.

Who was the "Lady in the Locker Room? and why did she want to be in the lockkerroom?
Could you say that in "man?" This could be the scandal with New England Patriots Victor Kayam, or this could have something to do with Richard Simmons. This could have something to do with pussy whipped Doug Christie, or a Joe Namath escapade. Did you just get a flu shot? Sorry pal, but...

What hockey team holds the record for the fastest 3 goals (span of 23 seconds) in a playoff game?
I know that Bill Mosienko (bowling alley in Winnipeg) had 3 goals in 21 seconds and Phildelphia beat that, but I believe neither was in a playoff game.

Only because of their playoff history, I will say Montreal. 2nd pick is NYI.
