Great game, wallzy, and my congratulations to the podiumites. It's good to see that I'm not the only hockey forum in this forum.

Was about 80% sure Koivu won, decided to go for the drop instead.
At least I didn't pick Manitoba (tossed that one around for a bit, thinking "nobody's heard of Brandon, right?")

Thanks for a fun game, and congrats to Skullturf on the win!

First you win the Canada TD and now the hockey one... I see a pattern. My money's on you for TD 1867: Moose and Maple Syrup.

Thanks Wallzy-O! And huzzahs for our podiumanders of the week!

Definitely one of my weirdest TD outcomes. In only one question did I score anything in a middle range; all others were either Sheep, Singletons, 1 down from the Sheep, or 1 up from a Singleton.

I remember that one because the Devils' victory parade up the NJ turnpike preempted Jeopardy in New York.
I'm smart and I want respect.

For this question, no points are awarded as 15 players dropped,7 players PIMed a 0 correct answer,7 players provided an incorrect response, and 1 player had no response.
Whooooa! Is this a first?
Can anyone Confirm/Deny that this is a first?

I think the ruling was fine. The rules said that the penalty for a wrong answer was double the sheep score. Since nobody had a correct answer, the sheep was zero, so the penalty for a wrong answer was also zero and the ones who took the sheep score option also got zero.

On the old board we had a game where someone asked for a name of someone who'd won a Nobel Prize in Physics the last ten years (or something that obscure) and nearly everyone dropped it. I don't recall if anyone actually got it right.

The host freaked out and never finished scoring the game.

TD 48, by efs. And the question asked for a Nobel Chemistry winner from 1995-2008. I was really bummed as I had a correct answer for that question. I don't recall if anyone else self-reported a correct response.
