And Wellwood scored about a milliesecond after the game was over.

 

A hockey sporcle quiz. Name the Art Ross trophy winner going back to 1918.

I got 90 of 91 on my own. I cheated to get the last one with 22 seconds to spare.......but as it turns out, the quiz is wrong and I had been right. Anyone who wants to know the wrong question that "stumped" me, PM me and I'll let you know so you don't waste time on it like I did.

Also, the 1961-62 winner played not for the Canadiens but for the Blackhawks. I don't think I'm letting anything slip by posting that on here.

 

Got 55, really blanked out before 1960 or so.

 

I suck at this stuff. 48

However, there was no Art Ross Trophy winner prior to 1947.

Yeah, I know you're not supposed to laugh, but this cracked me up.

9. On the Canadian Football League:

"The best thing about this game, there's no Russians or Swedes playing."

 

It was an OK game, kinda sloppy, especially from an Oilers perspective. Khabibulin did stand on his head, made something like 39 saves, but the Oilers weren't grossly outshot, still fired 30 some shots at Luongo. Oilers are being hit hard with the flu and it shows. Were quite lucky to win actually, but for once this season luck did shine on them.

 

Got 65. Got them all from Geoffrion on, then got bored and gave up. Should have got Dickie Moore in my sleep, though.

And with a line of 22-1 in 1924, Cy Denneny should also have been a lock for the Cy Young.

 

Not nearly as good as Joe Malone, who went 44-0 in 1917-18.

 

I got 68. i want to know who the hell missed Gretzky? ONLY 98 per cent got him, that means more than one person missed him.

 

At least we know what Peter Pocklington has been doing in his spare time ...
