Meant to post this earlier. Duncan Keith won the Conn Smythe trophy and he also had the Stanley Cup Winning goal. That made me wonder how many other players have done both those things in the same year. So I made a quiz to find out:

Bump! Here's a new one. It seems many people have done a Jagr team quiz, but no minefields which seems natural for this sort of thing.

Got 8/8. Totally forgot about the team he played 11 games for, picked it last second

It will be interesting to see how the stats pan out for this after a number of people have played. I expect that team to be low because it's the team he played with the least but he did have a good playoff run with that team leading me to believe one of the other teams will be the least picked.

First try 7/8. Took me two more tries to get 8/8. lol

OK, one more since I was bored today. Match the teams with the year of their first Stanley Cup win.

You guys should look at hugequiz.com also. One of the guys who created really large quizzes on sporcle split off lIke 18 months ago and created this site. Lots if very large NHL quizzes.

I will have to check that out.

I just did the counterpart to the last one I posted. Teams' most recent Stanley Cup.

I've also got the same quizzes (first and most recent championships) about to go for the NFL and MLS (as soon as the game is over). I won't spam them here but you can just click my Sporcle name if you want to try them.

19/20 first try. Wasted some of my guesses away or I would've had plenty of time to put the last answer together since it's pretty obvious at that point

Why count pre-NHL Cups for Montreal, but not Ottawa?

Good question. The answer is bad proofreading. I will change it.

 

[Classicnamesup]

17/20, had 26 secs left but it cut me off. Prob from getting a couple wrong guesses?

Yeah, you have a limited number of tries.

Yeah, with this style of quiz each wrong answer takes away one of your chances. If I made it so that you can just keep guessing you'll get 100% just about every time. The strategy therefore for these are take care of the ones you are absolutely sure of first and then fill in the rest.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

I got 18/20 and was cut off at 35 seconds. I made 3 or 4 incorrect guesses, I think. Had 1927-28 and 1928-29 still left.

Now you got a year they didn't win the cup


Their first pre-NHL cup was 1903

I'd already played some of your quizzes Event Horizon, particularly enjoyed the Conn Smythe quiz.

I've been playing on there for years, but just started making my own quizzes. I only have 3 so far, and I'm sure most everyone here would destroy the two pictures ones I've done, but you may enjoy guessing every goalie Ovechkin has scored on:

19/20 got the maroons wrong

Oh no! Worse proofreading! I'll fix it when I get home.

Interesting thread, I've never noticed it before
