gotta update this when next season starts by adding Winnipeg and taking out Atlanta

Level 75

Oct 17, 2021

YEAH!!! Winnipig is cool, I'm canadian and instead of the cup they win a peg. I actually picked a peg from my mom's pegboard game for them when they won last game and sent it to them. Also, I'm a Pepsi-drinking, Anaheim Ducks fan and a Patriots fan, and most importantly, a diehard Philadelphia 76ers fan "process-truster", so you can imagine what I think of Pooplanta! The only good thing from Pooplanta is Dwight Howard. GO PHILADELPHIA 76ERS!!!

Feb 26, 2012

funny how Buffalo was one of the lowest scores on the NFL teams too. Talk about no respect.

Level 74

Nov 24, 2022

If people use a mental map for these sorts of things, it's pretty easy to go from Boston to NYC, and then on down to Philly. I choose to believe that that's what's going on, rather than any disrespect toward the French Connection.

Level 50

Nov 11, 2012

I know its still 3 years away but this will need to be updated when the Islanders move to Brooklyn in 2015.

They weren't the Long Island islanders. They are and will be the new york islanders

Level 83

Feb 4, 2013

I did better on this than I do on most sports quizzes, but my dad worked for the Washington Capitals for the first 17 years of my life. Still, many of these teams are after my time. Never heard of the Senators, Coyotes, Wild, Predators, Hurricanes or Blue Jackets. The Avalanche started playing after my dad stopped working for the Capitals but I had at least heard of them. I think the Lightning, Panthers, Sharks and Ducks all came around at that same time, too. I got them, even though I never saw any of them play. Did Nashville used to be called the Raptors?

Level 40

Apr 6, 2013

Umm... How can they be "after your time"? Arent you still alive?

Also, no Nashville has always been the Preds.

Level 83

Nov 4, 2014

After the time that I gave even the slightest crap about hockey, which was back when I was a child or teenager going to games with my father.

Level 57

Mar 29, 2014

The Sharks entered the NHL in 1991, the Senators and Lightning in 1992, Ducks in 1993, the Avalanche relocated from Quebec City in 1995, the Coyotes from Winnipeg in 1996, Hurricanes from Hartford in 1997, the Predators in 1998, and the Blue Jackets and Wild in 2000. The Capitals joined in 1974, so if your dad worked for them for 17 from the very first season, that would be 1991. Obviously I have no idea how old you are so I don't know exactly what years your dad worked for the Caps, but all those teams should be during your time. I can assume you also guessed the Whalers, Nordiques, and Rockies?

Level 83

Nov 4, 2014

All of those teams joined the league after '91 so by your math what I said was exactly right. And actually I think you were pretty much spot on... except.. I suppose he was still working for them for a few years after some of these teams got franchises it was just after I had stopped going to games. I was in high school then and had better things to do.

Level 83

May 13, 2016

and yes I remember seeing the Whalers and Nordiques play.

Level 74

Jul 11, 2014

Never heard of the Predators? You're one of the lucky ones...

The Raptors are in the NBA, the Nashville Predators were an expansion team.

Hockey boring? I'm unclear how that could possibly be, even for a newcomer to the game. Pretty much continuous play for three 20 minute periods. Goals are scored frequently - unlike soccer (football), where that is a much more rare occurrence. No "injury" flops onto the turf, as is now common in soccer. Hockey players are out there hitting hard, going 100% with on-the-fly player changes. Fighting, and not silly fake fights. Thank you, Canada!!!

Level 83

Nov 4, 2014

All sports are boring unless you have some emotional investment in the outcome of the game. Possibly excepting MMA or women's beach volleyball.

Level 76

Oct 8, 2016

For some reason, women's beach volleyball just never did it for me. (But I like watching the men play.)

Level 21

Apr 8, 2013

Any other Hockey fans hear that they're going to move the Phoenix coyotes to Hartford to reform the Whalers? I hope they do, because then I can go root for the Whalers AND the Bruins :D

Level 56

Jun 21, 2015

I've heard these rumors, but I fear that if they did move back to Hartford, bleeding hearts wouldn't let them keep the name Whalers because of the 'negative' connotations. Even though it is referring to the area's history.

Level 70

Oct 21, 2016

I think the arena in the shopping mall is the problem

Level 38

Unfortunately, the whole format now needs updated with the realignment.

Updated! Piece of cake compared to college football.

Level 38

Oct 10, 2013

Re-formatting may have been easy... but now I have to remember a whole new set of teams! At least my team's division shouldn't be too hard with 2 New Yorks and 2 Penn teams.

Go Jackets!!!

Level 61

Apr 11, 2016

Toronto Maple Leafs? Nice spelling, Canada.

Level 59

Jan 3, 2021

Its because its referring to a singular leaf on the canadian flag. Not just all leaves in general.

Level 83

Jul 6, 2021

The team was named after Canadians soldiers who wore a Maple Leaf in WWI. The plural Leafs is actually grammatically correct since it refers to a group and is a proper noun. As a common noun, it wold be maple leaves with maple being an adjective and not considered part of the title or noun.

Corey Perry! Teemu Selänne! Ryan Getzlaf! Trevor Zegras! Paul Kariya!

Does that help???

Level 68

Oct 11, 2016

Crap, 29/30 again, I always forget one. It was the Wild this time... I was browsing a mental map of the US and kind of feeling the missing team had to be somewhere around Minnesoa, but all I could remember was that it was not the North Stars anymore.

Level 60

Nov 23, 2016

Going to have to add Las Vegas pretty soon. The Golden Knights are up next.

Level 53

Dec 15, 2016

28/30... missed the capitals and predators. Not bad for an 11 year old who has never watched a single NHL game in his life. (How? Mostly just studying the scores when hey come up on the "Bottomline" when I'm watching baseball.

Oct 17, 2017

A hockey team in Vegas instead of Quebec City is a pure non sense. This city doesn't deserve such a privilege.

Level 14

Good quiz

Level 72

Oct 27, 2017

I always, ALWAYS forget the Devils.

Level 65

Oct 27, 2017

I got every last team except for one with about 1 minute left...it was the Golden Knights. fml

Level 65

Oct 27, 2017

I personally don't like hockey because it seems like anarchy. Unlike soccer, the puck moves around so haphazardly and changes possession so frequently that there doesn't seem to be a lot of strategy going on, just a bunch of robust Russians and Canadians slapping the puck as hard as they can towards the other team's goal.

Level 85

Dec 4, 2017

Wow, I can tell you really know a lot about hockey! I'm sure you're right that it's totally random and haphazard and they don't really plan out anything that they do. Maybe they should stop play regularly when one player brushes another so hard that he apparently loses an eye, then they can stand in a line with their hands over their giblets while another guy shoots the puck as hard as he can at them to try to score. That would make way more sense. :-\

Level 71

Nov 2, 2017

Took longer than expected because the quiz misspelled Maple Laffs.

While I'm from 'The State of Hockey' I don't think its possible for me to care less about the game. However, I do love ESPN and was curious to see just how many team names I absorbed through osmosis: I scored 30/31; missed the Capitals.

Level 52

Jul 24, 2020

Not sure if you're counting teams that haven't played yet, but the Seattle Kraken are set to play in the 2021-2022 season

Level 40

Jul 30, 2020

The quiz description does use the verb "play" in present tense. Kraken doesn't play yet, so the present tense "play" doesn't include them.

But in the future, as soon as Kraken starts playing, the quiz should be updated of course.

Level 28

Aug 9, 2020

when are you going to add the Seattle Kraken?

Can you accept Habs for Montreal Canadiens?

Completely agree. This is an extremely common & accepted nickname for them, even among English-speaking fans. But I'm a Habs fan, so maybe I'm not entirely objective.

Level 21

Oct 6, 2020

should accept knights for golden knights!

go Bruins

Level 76

Jul 12, 2021

The way this is organized now is really, really bad. Go to alphabetical or divisions.

Level 83

Jul 15, 2021

It's alphabetized, but by team name, not place name. For example, the first entry is Colorado's team, as their name begins with "A."

Level 24

Jul 22, 2021

Any chance we can go back to the division layout of the quiz like the rest of the sports team quizzes?

Level 73

Sep 18, 2021

I agree, it's much better that way.

Level 67

Oct 12, 2021

This is the Islanders' year. I can feel it.
