Ikea Furniture or Hockey Player?

[elocomotive]

In the spirit of games like "Dead of Canadian" comes the new game... Ikea Furniture or Hockey Player?Below are 10 pairs of names. For each pair, one is a hockey player and the other is something one can purchase at Ikea (no cheating).

Quote the post and put an *asterik in front of the name you believe to be the HOCKEY PLAYER. Good luck. I'll check back later to deliver answers. To make it fair (and funnier), quote and answer BEFORE you look at what others put.

Lol. Me too.

So as to not ruin it for anyone... I can say that for Slim and 43, one of you got 7 and one of you got 8.

I'll be surprised if someone can get a 10.

Out of curiosity, how many of the 10 were pure guesses for you guys?

Five were not guesses. And one was based on the fact that I have the furniture in my house.

i can say that only 1 was a total guess for me

 

[Slimpikins]

4 were total guesses for me. I just tried to pronounce each name in 'announcer goal call' fashion and picked the one that seemed to fit better.

The damage to my knuckles caused by that god forsaken allen wrench.

You sure? Thought he played for the Blues.

I have some Besta units underneath my TV - they work really nice. I drilled some holes in the back and they hide all the wires and everything really nicely. Kinda like this, but no stone wall...

Alright, if people read the thread they are going to spoil it for themselves anyway, so give me 10 minutes and I'll post your scores for everyone that answers by 3:15. Then I gotta get back to work for a bit.

Do I get bonus points for choosing the Don Cherry pronunciation of Allen Bester's name?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i always loved the cardboard tvs used in ikea display suites ... (later recyled as filler for the meatballs in the cafeteria)

 

[jstewismybastardson]
