Depressing Quiz: Canucks that won the Cup with other teams

[Vancouver Blazers]

Found this on Reddit, got my ass kicked (23/38)

Much harder than I thought. Only got 24. Kinda mad I didn't get Tim Hunter.

I think it's more depressing that we've only had 38 players in 41 years on our team that have won the Cup. You'd think more around 50 or 60. Wow.

Didn't the Ducks trade him at the trade deadline?

Some of the names on the list make me cry... Schwab? Lukowich? Shannon?

BTW, SOB didn't win the Cup with the Ducks, he got shipped to the Bolts at the deadline.

You have to be a member of the organization that wins the Cup.

Yeah. I'm sad we didn't give Lukowich more of an opportunity to be a regular on the team.

I've always thought about this, thinking of Doug Lidster and Matt Cooke.

To me, the only ones that are significant are the ones the played a decent portion of their career in Vancouver before winning a cup. Guys like Messier and Tikkanen don't count.

Putting in Mitchell made me sad.

I realized about halfway through the quiz that they were counting guys who won before playing for Vancouver. I agree with you.

Only 8 of those guys actually played at least 3 full seasons with the Canucks and then won the Cup afterwards:

Lemay
Lidster
Larionov
Mogilny
May
Cooke
Sopel
Mitchell

I have more of an emotional attachment to some guys than others ... I didn't particularly care that Cooke was on the Penguins in '09, but this year I found myself rooting for the Kings after they eliminated us for Willie's sake.

I thought they acquired him for a first rounder?

Jiri Slegr did not play with the Canucks from 1992-2004. He came back for 16 games in 2004 but the quiz implied he was here for 13 years. That one really confused me.
