Really cool quiz I found online. How many players can you name that played from 2005/06 to 2011/2012?

Here is Detroit's quiz:

There are quizzes for several other NHL teams. The guy that is posting them seems to be adding a new team every day, so all teams should have quizzes posted soon.

For the Wings, I got 61/76 on my first try. Off the top of my head.

No cheating, folks

Only one I could think of was Aaron Downey.

Kopecky

Kopecky

That was the only one I missed in the first column.

In the second column, I only missed Markov, Salei and Meech.

[Motown4013]

only "only one game" in those 6 years....I got it- who else?

PS I missed Dan Cleary all together...lol...how does that happen?

Kopecky

He was forgettable when he was here too!

[Echolalia]

How did i forget Chelios, yet remembered Mark Hartigan?? Also figuring out how to spell Samuelsson's name killed like 6 minutes! This is an awesome quiz!

59/76

I should've had a few of those that I missed...

I actually forgot about Hudler as well, but remembered freakin' Markov who started on the first defensive pairing with Saint Nick in the freaking 2007 WCF.

51/76, forgot a lot of easy ones. Lang, Markov, Lebda, Lilja, Modano. Damn.

Very cool. How is it that I remembered Stafford and forgot Kindl?

I was really freaking out until I had 6 minutes left and realized that I had no goalies. I lost a lot of time recalling names from before the lockout, and couldn't spell Woolley right to save my life.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought that we had to put the names in the right blanks.

Thanks for posting!

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

The biggest name I missed was Chris Chelios Also forgot Modano, too.

I just took Calgary's quiz:

62/117

[The Axe]

Damn, you guys are good.

[Buppy]

59... also missed Kopecky, guess he was just forgettable. Forgot Smith, kind of embarassing since it was last year. Got Brad Norton, thinking of Brad May. Was confused when it said he only played 6 games.

I would prefer to forget Lebda but I didn't. I somehow got Cory Cross too but whiffed on the big red 'fro that is Mike Commodore. My major misses where Brad May & Mike Modano. 59/76 for me.

[puckbags]

How many people got Matt Hussey? lol

[FifeHockeyNut]

Got 52, missed Lang, May, Conklin but perhaps most embaressing I couldn't spell Filippula correctly in 20 minutes, not even convinced I spelt it right there!

Valtteri Filppula is easy to spell. Just remember: Each has 8 letters, a consonant, a vowel, a single consonant, a double consonant, a vowel, another consonant, and another vowel.

If that's too much, just remember that the middle 2 letters are doubled in each, and neither has a double L.

lol..I got Cory Cross too! Why, I don't know! Its funny that you remember randoms and miss on huge guys that impacted the team!

Haha, thanks for that! I'm a bit slow so it might take me a few tries to remember that!

I forgot how to post videos here, but Cory Cross's dismantling of Steve Ott is one of the greatest pugilistic moments in modern Red Wings history. I couldn't forget him for that.

How many people got Matt Hussey? lol

I did!

I remembered the Ellis/Hussey/Langfeld line. One of my favorite lines ever for comical reasons.

[barabbas16]

I got 62 - I think Leino was had the most GP of the players I didn't think of.
