GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 I get bored a lot in the offseason, so I thought we'd play some hockey trivia this year. I found a pretty cool sports trivia site, which includes NHL trivia. The first one I linked below is to name all the 500 goal scorers in NHL history in less than 10 minutes. I got 39/42 right on this one. Was disappointed in two of the three I missed. And there was one I would have never gotten right. Try your hand. http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/nhl500 1 wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Came up short with 32, kicking myself on a couple of them. Great idea though. Here's a good one: 60+ goal seasons http://www.sporcle.com/games/kmad/60goals Got 35/39 on this one, faired a little better Edited June 28, 2014 by wings4thecup06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a good one: 60+ goal seasons http://www.sporcle.com/games/kmad/60goals Got 35/39 on this one, faired a little better Don't think I'm spoiling any answers when I mention Gretzky's name, but it's incredible that he scored his 500th goal back in 1986. That would be his 7th or 8th season. Got 38/39 right on the 60 goals or more trivia. The one I missed, I doubt anyone would get right, and take off my hat to anyone who does.

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted June 29, 2014 Meh, I guess no one wants to discuss hockey trivia, when we instead can rack our brains over the magical signing of players we have no chance to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted June 29, 2014 I only got 15 right, and spent like 7 minutes trying to figure out how to spell Robitaille 5 wings4thecup06, puckloo39, GMRwings1983 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted June 29, 2014 I only got 15 right, and spent like 7 minutes trying to figure out how to spell Robitaille LOL. Try Nieuwendyk. Although, it's not cheating if you google the dude's name just to see how to spell it. Once you've already thought of it, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you've already thought of it, that is. Yea I spent ages trying to get his name right, then gave up. At the end he was there, I was pretty pissed!

Well, like I said, I don't consider looking up a name cheating once you've already thought of it. This isn't a spelling bee trivia (although it should be with hockey names ) 1 wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I only got 12. So I don't want to talk about it lol Well, it's more of a fun quiz than anything. Good way to learn about the game's history too. I never knew Michel Goulet scored that many goals, despite having his hockey card when I was a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I got 42/42 (I tend to keep a good understanding of all time stats lists). But I went down to the wire due to needing to confirm some spellings. Some of the names give me trouble time and time again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_SP_ 129 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 There are some games on there that will actually accept commonly-mispelled answers as correct... I had the same issue with some of them; how can I expect to spell someone's name right that most wouldn't even be able to pronounce?! lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I managed 94/99 http://www.sporcle.com/games/psinclair7/nhlplayoff Meh, that one's a little too easy. I got 99/99 when I took it before. Not as many options to miss on.
