24.
BOURQUE!!! Oops.

Was thinking of Vyborny, but couldn't get it in time. "That little guy that played for the Oilers, went to Russia..."

Bondra...man, I forgot all about him. I tried Gartner, Maruk, Gustaffson, Ovechkin(!).

I can't get on the website from my work (blocked). How would I do if I tried it?

........

missed NSH, NJ, NYR, PHX, TOR and WSH according to czure (thanks). I removed my answers to avoid giving away too much.

24/30, not bad

surprised I didn't get PHX, the others, not so much

I missed NYR, NJ, NYI, Stl, and Chicago. I was trying to visualize the labels on some of my powertools (knowing they were the same name as the chicago player), but just couldn't get the name into my head. Would have missed Columbus if I hadn't read the thread first.

24/30

A good approach is to just name players rather than going alphabetically. Thank God for the All-Time draft that I'm participating in. The past few weeks had definitely helped me jog my memory. However, I did miss Washington which I am very disappointed in because Prototype made a trade with me to specifically draft that same player!

Also missed: Columbus, Montreal (Yea, I know), Nashville, New Jersey and New York.

21 - PHO was a tricky question that caught me -forgot about the Jets - had a hard time trying to spell Lecavalier

Thought Kariya was the Ducks leading scorer. Elias in NJ. Smyl in VAN. I guess Nash is right now. I kept trying to spell MacInnis 10 different ways until I remembered Theo.

I got 28. Couldn't think of Vancouver's and Washington's. I probably couldn't get Vancouver's because he's such a forgettable player to me.

Elias will be the top Devil by end of season. But Johnny will always be my favorite all time player.

I would have gotten 22/30 except I can't spell worth crap. And that was with getting Rod Gilbert because I was trying to put in the full name of Gilbert Perreault.

Some I could picture, like Federko... but the name wouldn't come to me.

How easy it is to forget Peter Bondra.

Edit: They have a "Name all the Tectonic Plates" quiz? Gee, I don't think I would do very well at that one..... well, 9/15 as almost as good as the hockey one.

I did, and I would... maybe I'm a freak. I only got 18/30, but I did get Vyborny!
