    Jonathan Quick is one win away from 400 in the NHL. How many goalies have 400 wins? Bonus, how many can you name?

    Brodeur, Roy ... and IIRC, Fleury passed Patrick.

    I have no idea why this is the first name that came to mind, but I'll guess Bubba Trammell?

    I think Rob Deer did it. Short left-field porch in Sacramento. A friend of mine was on that team in the Brewers organization.

    No and no. This player went on to have a solid MLB career and hit 15 or more homers eight times in his career.

    Gorman Thomas hit 51 for Sacramento in 1974. Obviously someone else topped 50 after that.
