LITY's Elbow is numb from taking out Matt Cooke: Hartford Whalers Trivia?

These questions pertain to the Hartford Whalers in the NHL only

1) Who scored the first power play goal in Hartford Whalers history?

2) Who scored the first game winning goal for the Hartford Whalers in the NHL?

3) Who took the Whalers first penalty in the NHL?

4) Who was the first Whaler to a 2nd goal?

5) Who was the first Hall of Famer who scored a goal against the Whalers?

Update:

Bobby played part of the 79-80 season as a Whaler.

Bobby had issues that season because Bill Wirtz contended that Hull skipped out on his contract to join the Jets originally and therefore was still Blackhawks property. Chicago claimed him in the reclaimation draft, but left him unprotected (Hull retired from the WHA a month into the final season....not unlike son Brett for the same franchise 27 years later) and Winnipeg reclaimed 4 days later in the expansion draft....a legal battle kept Hull out of action until the Jets settled with Chicago.........Winnipeg traded Hull to Hartford at the trade deadline that year and Hull was in uniform and on the ice when Howe scored #800....but only played a couple more games in a Whaler uniform.

Update 2:

And yes, Gordie is the answer to one of these (and if you compare these questions to the other three teams, you'll be able to figure out which contrived question that may ne)

Update 3:

Bobby - 0/5

Update 4:

Leafer........#2 and #4 are correct
