Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[Maffew]

Today's is stupid, one box is a player who played for both the Islanders and Hurricanes, and I can't select Sebastian Aho?

Spoiler: Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-League

Meh, this one had a lot of tough combos that I blanked hard on...

Different players, same name.

 

[DitchMarner]

Ughhh.... f***ing Ron Hainsey!

Should have just gone with a higher profile guy like Crosby, Malkin, Ovie, Stamkos or Tavares.

 

[kvladimir]

Lol, completely didn't even notice there was a Jr game today... I wonder if I'll do well?

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gavey train

Haha! 1st 0 game for a Doku Jr.!!!

Also, seems right now I have the best game, that's always amazing to see!

 

[DitchMarner]

9/9

35 uniqueness.


The last row killed me in terms of uniqueness.

Puckdoku Game 212 - 7/9:

207 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Ocean Perlini

Screwed up the goalies immediately with Dubnyk for ARZ (1 SO) and Thibault for BUF (2 SO - dangit! )

I realize that picking goalies who played just 1 season for SOs is risky, but it always feels like picking goalies who played during high scoring eras is even riskier, so if my options are mid-90s to '05 lockout, then 2010-15 or so, my options for these 3 teams are......... Hasek, Miller, Khabibulin, Bryzgalov, Smith, Vernon, and Kiprusoff for goalies I know for sure would be correct... so yeah, those would all be way too high %

Puckdoku Game 213 - 9/9:

4 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Harding that net

THREE PERCENT on Josh Harding??????

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 214 - 9/9:

17 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gare to dream

Oof, another tough one, very thankful I was able to get all 9 correct (SO glad I had Janik in by back pocket for DET/BUF, or this would have been a LOT worse! )

I thought of Stephane Richer, who could have helped me in a number of places, but I wasn't sure if he had 2 Cups, figured he was either with the '93 Habs or the '95 Devils, but not both - which is correct, but he was with the '86 Habs

Puckdoku Game 215 - 7/9:

207 Uniqueness

Spoiler: De Vrie-fallin'

100% gave up after the first 2 rows... how is 50 PIMs so difficult to reach?? You'd think most full time skaters would have hit that mark, but apparently Shawn McEachern and Greg De Vries both did not (Edit: Actually, McEachern did with OTT, and De Vries did with ATL, but I picked them for BOS and OTT respectively! )

Puckdoku Game 216 - 4/9:

501 Uniqueness

Spoiler: All it takes is one very bad day...

Ok, so here's what happened...

Joe Mullen - 1063pts
Michel Goulet - 1152pts
Tomas Sandstrom - 394 goals
Shawn McEachern - 256 (ok, that one's a whiff)
Adam Oates - 1420pts, and............ 341 goals (silly me, trying to be clever )

 

[Calderon]

Puckdoku Game 216 - 9/9:

44 Uniqueness

Puckdoku

Guess NHL players based on team, season, and stats. Choose wisely, as you only get 9 shots to fill the board.

www.puckdoku.com

I attempt these occasionally, just my 2nd ever finish! Usually I get like 4-6 correct. The center one was the hardest.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 217 - 7/9:

259 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Kuz control

Many others decided to be clever with the fact that Kuzmenko hasn't played a game as a Flame yet, I see

Also, Barrett Jackman being a 1st round pick caught me off guard, I usually don't make those kinds of mistakes for 1st rounds that I watched live...

And yeah, my Calder winner knowledge is so bad, I legitimately don't remember any undrafted winner other than Panarin off the top of my head

Still a waaay better game than yesterday's

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 218 - 6/9:

306 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hakuna Lattata

Or not! Latta actually never got an NHL game before the Erat/Forsberg trade, it turns out!

Nor did Joel Kwiatkowski play for NYI, could have sworn he did... and I was way off on Jack Skille, he never even got 20 points... big off week, including a couple 3%ers in Ronning and... LEPISTO???

 

[DitchMarner]

9/9, 32 uniqueness (half courtesy of Mike Sillinger):


Four Mikes overall (which I didn't notice until after I had completed the game). I wonder what the record is for most instances of a certain first name in one game.

 

[DitchMarner]

WTF... 25% uniqueness for Yannick Tremblay?!

I'm waiting for a particular combination of teams to answer this question, stay tuned

Puckdoku Game 219 - 9/9:

35 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gilroy was here

I knew this one was going to suck, but maaaaaan, I did not see those numbers on Volchenkov or Hiller coming!

Edit: Awww, I can't believe I missed McLean and Cloutier for NYR! Gotta turn my fan card in

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

30 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Colby maybe?

Same story here, numbers are waaaaay too high!

Freakin' Leaf fans!

Puckdoku Game 220 - 8/9:

107 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Cram school

Ok, so I don't know captains that well, it would appear...

Couldn't even remember the Caps' captain from when I started watching (mid-90s), guessed Bobby Carpenter but that was wrong, so now now it's bugging me... (edit: How did I forget Hatcher, Hunter and Chris Clark??? )

Could have done better on LA's, but MIN's was a stroke of great memory, haha!

Also: always dangerous when ANA comes up with teams both Joseph Cramarossa and Michael Sgarbossa have played for!

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Spoiler: Not too bad

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 221 - 9/9:

8 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Plot hole

Meh, could have done better. Scared myself away from Zubov, but he would have worked (75/NYR). Thought of Clendening and Motte (both <1%) but went with Forsberg for CHI/CBJ. Thought of Cervenka for KHL/Undrafted, but thought Plotnikov would be lower, ugh.

 

[Crosstraffic]

Puzzle should have been clear about 75 point season in the NHL.

 

[Brodeur]

8/9 for me today. I goofed on the KHL + 75 point season in NHL square. I went with Patrik Elias who briefly played in Russia during the 2004-05 lockout (and got really ill from contaminated food which knocked him out for the first half of the 2005-06 NHL season). I hesitated for a moment since the Russian super league hadn't yet rebranded as the KHL.

Puckdoku Game 222 - 5/9:

402 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Oh no, Joe!

What a comedy of errors...

1. Got Savage confused with Ramage
2. Forgot that Joe Morrow didn't play a game for DAL or PIT, just was in the other Morrow trade
3. Calling BS on Matthew Lombardi for EDM, player doesn't need to play for the drafting team in these categories, and him getting drafted again by a different team doesn't erase that he was at one point drafted by this team. Under protest!
4. Mike Cammalleri! ................. played 906 games.
