Das Gamer Quiz: NHL Coach Or Canadian Premier
August 26, 2008
The guys at 2K Sports think you wouldn’t know a hockey coach even if he checked you into the boards. They’re so confident of this fact that they didn’t bother to model the faces of any of the coaches into NHL 2K9. While you will see a virtual Doc Rivers coaching the Celtics and a digital Phil Jackson urging Kobe Bryant to try and play defense in NBA 2K9, they simply think the Terry Murrays and Lindy Ruffs of the world will simply go unnoticed. Andrew Blumberg, marketing coordinator for 2K Sports, puts it plainly, “Most hockey coaches are unrecognizable to casual fans to be perfectly honest.”
Time to put the theory to the test with Das Gamer’s Canadian Men in Suits quiz. Hit next to start the quiz and see if you can tell the difference between an NHL hockey coach and a Canadian Premier. And if you were wondering, that’s Mike Keenan, head coach for the Calgary Flames and Ed Stelmach, Premier of Alberta in the pic above. Give yourself a bonus point if you knew that Calgary is located in Alberta.

I got everyone correct. F 2k sports for doing that. they basically said they care about nba 2k9 and they don’t care about Nhl 2k9. Lazy developers

I barely recognized Lindy Ruff. Looks like freaking Teddy Roosevelt.

2K9 is a garbage game now compared to the skill stick in NHL09. Why would anyone buy it?

5 out of 5 baby!
I’m with TheyGotSquid - EA makes a better hockey game
And Jeff - those were Premier not MPs. Premiers are provincial, not federal. Another victim of the REAL US “brain drain” I guess

5/5, but two of them were educated guesses at best.
