    I got 98%!!!! That Micheal Plasse one was a trick! The jennings one who remembers who that was anyway.

      Well not exactly a trick – but well done! I got the Plasse one only because I remembered reading it on a hockey card when I was a kid – before any NHL goalie had done the deed so it really stood out! I’m sure I wouldn’t get 98% though – awesome job.

    I actually created this question based on comments on Plasse’s rookie card. I only collect goaltender rookie cards and the late Michel Plasse was the first professional (i.e., playing for money) to score but not the first NHL to do it. Billy smith is the first NHL goaltender to be CREDITED with a goal and Hextall is the first to actually score one. It is all in the details !

    got 68%….only because there were so many Glenn Hall questions and I just recently read THE GAME. It would have been dismal otherwise. Most of the 80’s is just a blur.

    Wow, that was tough. I don’t know how anyone could get a 98%, I got about 60%, didn’t even want to look anymore. It was awesome seeing some of the names from yester-year. Good job to the guys who did well, I guess I need to get studying.

    63%, but that was a lot of fun. That’s actually better than I thought I’d do, since I know very little about hockey history, but I learned a lot in the process!
