I was in my bag today.
 
Ummmm...? Looks like today they randomly decided to make it 30+ goals and 30+ assists specifically with the team being matched to, not "in their career". This was unfortunate for me... :cry::pullhair::madfire:

Strike 1: Tom Pyatt for OTT/NYR (drafted by but never played for NYR)
Strike 2: Donald Audette for MTL/30G (got it for BUF and ATL)
Strike 3: Bryan Smolinski for OTT/30G (got it for BOS)
Strike 4: Petr Prucha for 30G/30A (only got 30G)
Strike 5: Dmitry Mironov for TOR/30A (got it for PIT and ANA)
 

Cedrick Desjardins did sign with the Rangers but spent the entire time in the AHL. That mistake cost me a pretty decent score.
 
Today I got my best score so far (29):

The biggest surprise was:
the 30+ goals and 30+ assists category. The players near the top were expected - Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, McDavid and Matthews. I was very surprised to see Jonathan Cheechoo in 6th place - why him? He ranked above Jagr/Ovechkin, Howe/Beliveau/Richard/Hull, Sakic/Yzerman, Orr/Coffey, and Draisaitl/MacKinnon/Kucherov (among many others). Was he really that memorable?

That's very much the kind of name that will come to mind easily for a lot of people, and that lot of people will all think "he's not that memorable, I bet that's going to be a great score," and then it's suddenly not.

I was in my bag today.

It's remarkable how I can completely forget a player existed, but just seeing their name I can recall their skating style and jersey number. #94 with jersey tucked...

I messed up today trying to think of a guy who barely crossed the 30G+30A line. I went with Kyle Palmieri but his best season was 30G+27A.

I wasn't sure he hit 30G, but I should have used Radek Dvorak. I used his linemate Jan Hlavac for the NYR+30 assist square.
 
I ended up with a uniqueness of 0 for the first time. I blame/thank those HFBoards All-Time Drafts I used to do across the boards (and the Hockey History board's All-Time Draft and Top 100 rankings that i found very useful in running those).

Wait, wait, wait waiiiiit.... ORIGINAL Ottawa Senators players count for the current Ottawa Senators? Shenanigans! :biglaugh:

My buddy said the same thing. Tbh i didn't even think about that. I'd put in Mid-Left first, and when that worked, i just kinda went from there lol.
 
9/9, uniqueness 7
Former Penguins used 5/9

Vincent Damphousse (2%) - Jacques Plante (1%) - Joe Malone (0.4%)
King Clancy (0.2%) - Alexandre Daigle (2%) - Shawn McEachern (2%)
Alexei Ponikarovsky (0.7%) - Petr Nedved (0.6%) - Warren Young (0.0%, 13 total guesses)
 
Ok, I feel much better about this one, despite the two misses, because seriously, who the hell else did Linus Omark play for??? (edit: 13 games for Buffalo, apparently, a total blank in my mind...)

Also, I think I can confirm that they have changed stat categories to only count for the team you're matching a player to, not their whole career, because I got a big fat "Incorrect" when I picked Felix Potvin for Boston... :ha:

TIL that Gelinas didn't play a game with LA before being dealt in the Gretzky trade :help:

Certainly learning a lot by playing this way :sarcasm:

(Edit: I missed SO MANY good VGK/others options :cry:
