![Can you name all 39 players to have scored a goal assisted by both Sedins? [QUIZ]](http://vansunsportsblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/THISQUIZSUCKS.jpg)
Playing on a line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin means scoring opportunities. “If you don’t score lots of points in that situation, you don’t belong there,” Mikael Samuelsson once said. “You can’t fail no matter how little talent you might have.”
He’s got a point. In Daniel and Henrik’s 11 seasons with the Canucks, “assisted by Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin” (or vice versa) has appeared on the scoresheet a staggering 223 times. And, considering the role of the third Sedin has been played by more people than Hamlet, 39 different Canucks have played the finisher in these instances.
Which brings us to today’s quiz: how many of the 39 can you name? I submit that there is no way you can name all 39. My guess is that even the diehards won’t be able to get beyond 35. Consider yourself challenged.
Super-helpful tips: The answers are in alphabetical order and you only need to enter last names. Also, for secret bonus points, name the only player to ever accomplish the feat at an NHL All-Star Game.
Be sure to post your results in the comments.

How did I get Arvedson and not Raymond?!

November 21, 2012Too embarassed to admit my score. But this is only my 3rd season being a fan (assuming that we HAVE a season! *tears*).
Chris the Curmudgeon
November 21, 201227 out of 39.
Thankfully that included most of the pre-Burrows 3rd Sedin brigade.
I strongly hope everyone knows who really needed the puck from the twins (and got it at least twice).

November 21, 2012I got 28. I imagine Harrison & Co take particular pleasure in Mr Bulis being on this list.
Harrison Mooney
November 21, 2012Oh, most definitely. It was a delight to see his name pop up on the game sheet TWO TIMES.

November 21, 201225. It quickly morphed into an exercise of “How many players that ever played for the Canucks can I think of?”

Highest missed was Demitra with 5.
Also missed blog’s namesake.

November 21, 201230!

November 21, 2012Is there something to be said for getting the most obscure names on the list(Arvedson, Baron, Baumgartner, King, Shannon) and missing some ridiculously obvious ones(Ehrhoff, Ruutu, Samuelsson, PYATT)?
bedaluma13
November 21, 2012100% 39. boom
Billy
November 23, 2012Really? You guessed Todd Warriner? Hmm…
31 for me. Thought about Murray Baron but disregarded that. Then again I did try Willie Mitchell…surprised I missed Keith Ballard and Ryan Shannon. Others I missed were from when I was younger, so I’m okay with that.
John
November 21, 201232… but it should’ve been 33, I just didn’t know how to spell Kraijcek. I missed Arvedson, Lachance, Shannon, Warriner, Smolinski, and for some reason Lukowich which made no sense because immediately upon seeing his name show up I was like “Well duh”, the Lukowich goal is actually my favourite Sedinery moment ever (it was against the Sabres).

November 21, 201229/39
Missed Arvedson, Cooke, Klatt, Krajicek, Lachance, Pyatt, Shannon, Smolinski, Tambellini, and Warriner. I thought I’d get at least 30! Can’t believe I missed Pyatt and Cooke.

November 21, 201225.
Happy to say I got Bulis, but where the hell does Ballard get off scoring a goal?
Mitch
November 22, 2012Hell, I remember that one. First game of the season, beautiful pass, Ballard converts and every Canucks fan goes “Holy crap, he’s gonna earn his salary this year!” Then he didn’t. And we all went “aw.”
Mitch
November 22, 2012Oh, and I got 24. Remembered King and Arvedson… forgot Demo. Now I feel bad. Thanks, PITB.
Wagman
November 21, 2012Slightly ashamed to admit I ran out of time at 20. I remembered Pyatt, but totally drew a blank trying to remember his name & wasted time trying to force recall (not that I was going to get many more, anyway).
I was surprised that Malhotra and Lapierre didn’t make the list. I figured they would have caught a goal on a line change at some point.
John Griffin
November 21, 201221. Didn’t include so many obvious D-men spent most of time just trying to remember Jeff Tambellini.
O. Blasig
November 21, 201227. Shame that I missed Bulis. Double shame that I missed the original triplet aka Klatt. The defense were easy, I just kept thinking who played on the power play. Rome was the only d-man that I missed.
Awesome that Burrows has more than 2nd and 3rd combined.
Sans
November 21, 201236. Missed Lachance (forgot he even existed), Smolinski (feel like I should have got him) and Warriner. Probably most proud of getting Krajicek.
gordietee
November 22, 201229. Though that would be 30 with the Scott Hartnell bonus point, I believe.
Can’t believe I missed Sopel, Ohlund, Bertuzzi and Morrison…
gordietee
November 22, 2012Oooo, perhaps I’m wrong. It seems Mr. Hartnell contributed an assist rather than a goal.
joed76
November 22, 201229, missed rome and bernier, epic fail.
I tried mooney, but remembered he goes coast to coast- #nopasss
jimbob
November 22, 201229! not too shabby. tottally forgot about guys like lukowich. was stoked when bulis showed up. was just a stab in the dark!
C4NUCK
November 27, 2012Damn, I only got 25… only name I didn’t recognize was scott lachance… shoulda done better. Oh well, the lockout is boring!!!
Kyle
November 27, 201236. Shouldn’t have missed Krajicek, but completely forgot about Smolinski and Tambellini,
mj
November 27, 2012It’s funny that Anson Carter left because he thought he was the better than the twins. You can’t fool the stats Anson, 33 and 22…..that’s right, quite ironic that year he had 33 goals and 22 assists.
JS Topher
November 28, 201227… I got the Bonus but, Ièm sad to say I forgot BMo, Jovo, Tambo, and Ruttu…. I was a big fan of all of those guys in their time with us… what have you done for me lately…
