Threebound

Inspired by Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 for the Nintendo 64. In this game, you're considered lucky if Chris Osgood has a save percentage higher than .700 in any given match as most shots result in a rebound which is subsequently put in the net. If you're REALLY lucky, the rebound attempt will be saved resulting in another rebound (which will subsequently be put in the net). This is called the threebound.

The definition is a little bit flawed, because technically the third scoring attempt would be considered the second rebound, however, deucebound (thank you Jordan Fkeenish) was not as catchy.

  1. All of this is contingent upon the score differential being no more than +/-1. If you're losing by more than that, it's not going to take 3 attempts to put the puck in, and if you're winning by more, there's no way they give you 3 tries

  2. Remember how you'd have to enter a really intricate password (e.g. 34rgf//;88dsa) to access your saved season?
    For some reason I always used the Florida Panthers...
