OT: ASG Boredom Buster: Oilers Sporcle Quiz

[JordanGalhanth]

With no games until February, I figured I'd share this for fun.

Sporcle Quiz: Name all the Edmonton Oilers since 2005-06

I can only recall about 200/271 right now, so I'm trying to get that average up.

It's an interesting list of names...some flashbacks to the DoD, some "what-ifs" who never hit their stride, and also some great warriors who gave us great memories during a dark era.

Mcdavid and Draisaitl to get you started.

Mcdavid and Draisaitl to get you started.

Thanks, always have trouble remembering those two.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Got 100 on the nose. Time goes by sooo fast. Could have probably doubled it if given like an hour or something

Why traumatize ourselves by remembering the dearth of minor pro players that became Oilers under the worst management group to run an NHL hockey team in league history.

I’d rather visit the dentist while getting my prostrate checked. (Gives a new meaning to the term “Open Wide!”)

 

[brentashton]

Mcdavid and Draisaitl to get you started.

And Cory Cross for the win. :/

 

[ZJuice]

Don't forget about Andy Sutton, Smacintyre, Mark Fayne, or Samorukov!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

a good tip is you just have to type in the last name of the player.

Also remembering proper spelling on some of the players was a bit of a challenge.

I noticed i remember something about the player before the name came to mind. Like the guy who blocked a shot and it dented his cup. Or the spin at centre ice shootout guy, ect.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

166 - That was tough.

I missed Foegele somehow.

 

[Fishy McScales]

121/271 higher than average.

One way I remembered players was thinking who the previous player I got was traded for etc.

Most random one I got was Ryan Potulny, though he did have 70+ games.

McLoed won’t work?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

McLoed won’t work?

nope. Markanen won't work either.

 

[K1984]

I got to 126 without assistance.

In the end it somehow became way easier to think of random guys that came through here like Liam Reddox than it was trying to think of the guy with 300 games that I didn't have yet.

 

[SK13]

Me and my ADHD brain can summon countless facts about a player, when their notable game(s) were and all that business but names? Nah, never names.

Not without google.

 

[Mr Positive]

I can't believe I missed #1

But still got the likes of Grebeshkov and Arcobello

unsurprisingly, I did really well on that 2006 team that went on a run.

 

[LTIR]

Hockeydb to rescue?

 

[Jet Walters]

Pulled Matthieu Garon from deep in the memory bank.

 

[Drivesaitl]

121/271 higher than average.

Man, if theres people here that remember Ryan Potulny I'm not even trying it. I surrender. lol

 

[5 14 6 1]

Got 114 in the 20 minutes time limit

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I Googled “Crappy Hockey Players since 2006” and got the entire list of Edmonton Oilers during the DOD.

 

[BertMcDrai]

Slepychev doesn't work for me but it's part of the solution...either way the hardest is the correct spelling in this quiz ;-)
