Puckdoku Game 261 - 9/9:

3 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Rissmaster

Guess what my last 2 picks were?

Also, not intentional at all, but not feeling great about having Brown next to McLean...

Was out of town for a conference and had no time at all for this, but let me catch up, hopefully concisely:

Spoiler: Cowanbunga

A few random memory blanks here - Eaton on the Kings? (mixed him up with Scuderi, doy)

Spoiler: Duco of Hazard

I'm not great with junior gold medals, etc etc... also 700 games is a lot more than I thought, apparently

Spoiler: Unbeatable Raitis

Completely forgot who I whiffed on for BOS, unfortunate, would have been a killer game if I got something there...

Spoiler: Tristesse de Vaive

Ugggh, if I had only switched my pick of Vaive and Lysiak aorund...

Gotta stop picking Tarnstrom for 60 points, also... almost but not quite

Spoiler: Lang time coming

Mixed up the timing of a couple trades... Mike Duco was one, can't remember the other

Spoiler: Crossed off

This was just bad, too tired after my trip I guess... Forgot that Bergevin didn't play for ANA (I think I got him confused with J.J. Daigneault). Straight up forgot about Patrick Sieloff yet again, and used Nycholat instead, forgetting that the Flames immediately traded him after claiming him off waivers!

Puckdoku Game 268 - 7/9:

207 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Anttii-ed the joke

Got WPG/NJD wrong right away, blew through the rest

Why did I get that one wrong you ask? Got Antti Suomela and Anssi Salmela confused!!!!

Also, Jeff Toms didn't get nearly enough points... sigh

 

[DitchMarner]

Meh... a lot of common answers.

I didn't want to go with Stevens, Shanny or Stastny for the STL/NJ square. Surprised Brodeur is such a common answer. For the STL 100+ points square, I tried Petr Sejna before Petr Cajanek. The former only had 11 NHL points. I was waaaayyyy off there.

 

[mattihp]

Spoiler: Spoiler

I lost my patience and went for Barnaby with my last square. Usually I can go for more Finns, but this is a Slavic sounding bunch with some added flavour

Puckdoku Game 269 - 8/9:

102 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Berezin the lead

Ehhhh... must have been combining the '14 and '15 playoffs in my head when I picked Dale Weise

Also.... Jozef Balej, 1%? ................. HOW

 

[kvladimir]

Oh hey, community games have come out, let me try the most popular one...

Puckdoku Community Game 185 - 9/9:

233 Uniqueness

Spoiler: The Heet is on

... I feel like not very many people have played this yet

Boy oh boy do I have a great one in store for all of you... in a few weeks, when I will have time to make it

 

[kvladimir]

Catching up on Immaculate Grid too, and heeeeey, this one is an absolute gem!

Spoiler: Messin' with a son of a Meech

 

[mattihp]

The latest puckdoku is kinda broken, several finnish medalists who also have played in the KHL don't even appear in the drop-down. At first I thought it was just those who haven't also played in the NHL, but it does seem that there is something wrong.

Edit: the 2022 Olympic medalists for Finland who played for KHL but did not play for the 2014 bronze team seem to be ineligable.

 

[Brodeur]

Spoiler

I didn't give me credit for Tom Barrasso for the last square. Barrasso played in 777 NHL games and won silver in 2002 for Team USA.

Looks like a glitch for me too.

 

[kvladimir]

Another busy few days kept me away, but now I can catch up:

Spoiler: Perezhogin the spotlight

Forgot Slovakia didn't get the bronze in 2010, so I whiffed on Demitra

Spoiler: Muller time

Oooh, we have a banger going here, everyone, wow... just one more square for EDM/50+ goals. I bet Jimmy Carson in his one big year got that...

Wait... he didn't? But... wait a minute!

Spoiler: Nichol and dime

GUESS WHICH 2 SQUARES WERE LAST FOR ME???

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 273 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Rymshot

Wooooooo, can't believe I kept my score that low! Wasn't sure Mike Smith would count since he didn't play afaik, and both Budaj and Girgensons were educated guesses, really!

I figured Rymsha would have a higher %, because people made a pretty big deal about his (brief) debut, because of his tie into the Gretzky trade tree

 

[HabsQC]

Spoiler: March 30th

 

[DitchMarner]

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 274 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: The tool man cometh

Wtf, how did Chris Kelly wind up at 1%??

 

[DitchMarner]

Looks like Mike wasn't such a keen answer...

 

[DitchMarner]

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 275 - 7/9:

205 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Zelepukin my guts out

Ugh, this one went off the rails hard and fast after the first few picks... 1% on Lintner???? 2% on Zelepukin????

Then I swung for the fences on the goalies... John Van Biesbrouck didn't play enough games for NJ for 10 wins, and Steve Valiquette, oddly enough I remember him being really, really good as Lundqvist's backup for a few years, so I though considering how good the team was that he might have gotten 10 Ws as the backup, but nope...

On the plus side, there was a Doku Jr today, and well...

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Raphy Dance

Yeah, being a VAN fan helped me here...

 

[DitchMarner]

lmfao... for some reason I thought Mike Smith was a Pred at some point...

 

[Brodeur]

D'oh

Spoiler

TBL+10 wins - Today I learned that Dan Cloutier went 9-30-3 in his one full season in Tampa.

 

[DitchMarner]

1% uniqueness for Kryiger and Sacco, eh? Hmmm...
