Haha. This was fun! 22/22. I think maybe because I'm Swedish and a massive hockey fan. ;)

12/22. I haven't watched hockey or walked through an Ikea for a long time. It was all so very alarming and bewildering, in a polite and proper Swedish way.

I think this is only Nashville and Pittsburgh players so it left out goalie Eddie Lack, who is both.

Ha! 22/22. And I'm not even that deep into hockey. But I do know my Ikea :)

This was fun, although I don't think I ever have bought anything from Ikea – the closest one seems to be just over 300 miles away from our non-Swedish-outfitted home – and I haven't watched hockey since the days of the Broad Street Bullies. For some reason I knew the “–qvists” were hockey players, but that's about it. 14/22.

Only 13/22, I'm the worst hockey fan.

As a final key question, they should have included Allen.

They should have put Rinne at the end, as he is Finnish.

Only 8/22! Obviously I need to go to Ikea more often, since it's unlikely I am going to become a bigger hockey fan at this point.

I would watch the longest, lowest-scoring hockey game in a shabby unheated arena with about-to-collapse seats, watered-down beer, and a three-hour wait for the ladies room before I would ever go back to endure once again the torture that is shopping at Ikea.

Amusing. And timely - our Ikea just opened this week. I also missed Jarnkrok. 21/22.

Awesome! 19/22. On a related matter: what the heck is up with Crosby and Subban? Wow the animus!

11/22 which is exactly right since I was effectively flipping a coin each time.

I got 11/22 but knew 5 of the hockey players for sure, which means I badly bombed the rest of it.

16/22 because I have gotten a crash course in hockey in the last few months. So I only know players who are Penguins or have played against Penguins in the playoffs. Thank you for playing to my strengths, quiz!

I thought it was going to be a Picture quiz and was very disappointed when it wasn't.

Yeah but have you ever tried to put together a hockey player using the enclosed instructions?

21/22, but I really wanted "Kroby" to be a hockey player. You know, Sinny Kroby, superstar center of the Pitborg Pengins?

17/22, which I consider a triumphant victory, since I've paid little attention to hockey in recent years and have never once stepped foot in an Ikea.
