Can You Name the Entire 2010-11 Canucks Roster?

Be warned: this cat took the quiz, and now he struggles with confidence.

The Canucks dressed a lot of different guys this season. There were injuries on the backend that necessitated absurd callups. There was a season-long search for the right fit on the fourth line. There was cap trouble. Whatever the reason, 39 guys wore the orca in 2010-11, and PITB has created a Sporcle quiz that will test your ability to remember them all. You might be shocked to discover how quickly you forget.

Seriously. I made the quiz, took it five minutes later, and only got 36 of 39. Am I the biggest idiot ever? Maybe. Or maybe it's just more difficult than it sounds. Click the link below to see for yourself, and don't forget to come back here and let us know how you did.


Two helpful hints: the roster is alphabetical, and you only have to enter last names.

    35/39.

    I remembered Joel Perrault and Guillaume Desbiens, yet I forgot about Sami Salo. I should be ashamed of myself.

    I spent a lot of time trying to remember Peter Shaefer and Evan Oberg's names as well. The only one I really don't remember is Jonas Andersson.

    But man, Salo?

    Got 35/39...missed 5 call-ups. Bliznak, Perrault, Volpatti, Schaeffer, Shirokov. Almost forgot Ballard....how could I forget the glorious hipchecks?
    Sauve, I think he only played one game if I remember correctly, but that one diving move to get the puck free to the Sedins and set up a Wizardous goal was so clutch, I couldn't forget him.

    A heads up; you forgot to add Yann Suave, who dressed for four games this season.

  36. Daniel WagnerApril 4, 2011 at 1:47 AM

    A heads up: Yann Suave is Rico Suave's lesser known brother. He doesn't play for the Canucks. Yann Sauve, on the other hand...

    32/39. Forgot Andersson (never even heard of this guy!), Bliznak, Desbiens (my favourite name ever!), Oberg, Parent, Perrault (remembered his initials but that didn't help!) and Schaefer.

    Tried a million spelling combinations of Cory Schneider, Corey Schneider, Cory Schnieder, Corey Schnieder, etc... until I realized last names only worked!

    Perhaps the 'Nucks will play the Stars:
    If they should win their final four,
    And then the Hawks no more than two.
    Do palm trees grow in Labrador?

    The schedule says it could occur:
    The Hawks will lose to Montreal,
    And beat the Wings not more than once.
    Are reindeer found in Senegal?

    The Stars play only alsorans:
    They've yet to beat the Avalanche,
    A team they will be meeting twice.
    Does Dallas really have a chance?

    As of today damn right they do:
    Is there a place called Timbuktu?

    I dredged up every call up, opening roster player I could think of to get to 37 and ran out of time thinking of the last two. those last two were Corey Schneider and Roberto Luongo.

    I also didn't know you could just enter in last names, and spent 2 minutes trying to figure out how to spell Guilluame before I went "Oh!" and entered in Desbiens
