Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

Not terrible, I guess. Went with Jozef for the LA/FLA square because I was Stumped.

 

[kvladimir]

Huh, didn't realize there was a new Jr. game...

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

5 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Zac Attack

Edit: Best game on this so far, also! Out of only 220 or so games, but still!

Puckdoku Game 317 - 6/9:

303 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Not Godynuk

Oof size: extreme

[SJS/AHL]: Timo Pielmeier - completely missed that he only got 1 NHL game, and it wasn't with the Sharks
[SJS/NJD] Alex Godynuk - I am positive I am confusing this man with someone else
Completely gave up after that

Puckdoku Game 318 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Emerson-cy

Ugh, why do I always get Nelson Emerson confused with Dave Manson and pick him for EDM???

 

[DitchMarner]

 

[DitchMarner]

Stevie, why?

This one was frustrating! Took me forever to think of a good answer for the ANA/DAL square. I didn't expect Tony friggen Twist to be that common an answer for the STL/50 PIMs square. I know Yzerman had some snarl and figured he might have had 50 or more PIMs in a season at some point. I took a chance and guessed Nieuwendyk did as well and that didn't pay off.

Puckdoku Game 319 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Wotton Pickin'

I must be thinking of someone else, because Karlis Skrastins felt like a relatively tough Dman who played way earlier to have been a NSH draft pick...

He did play for DAL, but topped out at 38 PIMs...

 

[DitchMarner]

Ho-hum... pretty straightforward shit today.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 320 - 8/9:

105 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Horse... Eaton

What's with all these guys being 1%??? And Cloutier for LAK/TBL at 2%??? Nonsense!

Also, facepalm for forgetting that Brendan Leipsic didn't play any games for NSH before being traded!

Lol... three days in a row you were one more correct and good answer away from under 10% uniqueness. Must suck.

Puckdoku Game 321 - 5/9:

404 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Beaushamein

Oh boy, well this is a post-mortem...

[OTT/CAR] No idea why I keep thinking Jocelyn Lemieux played for OTT, not the first time I've made this mistake...

[CBJ/1000+games] Francois Beauchemin with... 903 (not gonna do the tableflip, too sad, plus game wasn't even close)

[PHI/Capt] Rick Macleish, honestly this was a guess, I don't have a good answer, my entire hockey-watching career, they have been Lindros/one of Recchi or Leclair pretty sure, Richards, Pronger, Giroux, Couturier

[CAR/Capt] Same as PHI, my whole time watching, they have been Dineen/Francis/Brind'amour/Staal/Staal, so Holik was the one guy I thought might have worn the C sometimes in there, otherwise I have no idea...

Also... WTF @ Cassels!!!

 

[DitchMarner]

Thought Phillips was OTT's Captain briefly... SMH.

I'm not great when it comes to naming Captains myself.

PHI did have Primeau as the C going into the Lockout - was Forsberg ever their Captain?

Shanny was Hartford's Captain before he was traded.

 

[DitchMarner]

Yes! 0 uniqueness for the first time in quite a while!

Kyle Chipchura was my worst answer; I'm definitely satisfied with my performance.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 322 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Sad Moran

Should have been a layup, but...

[COL/00s] Apparently I got Brad Moran confused with Brad Larsen? I was 100% sure Moran played for COL, not sure what happened here... Had Nycholat in my mind too, but wasn't sure which decade he was there... (Edit: It was Brad Malone, and I got the decade wrong anyway! )

[ARZ/10s] Lane Pederson - off by 1 season!

 

[DitchMarner]

Uuuuggghhh... thanks a lot, Penner!

This fatty couldn't even muster up a 60 point season with ANA? All that hype for nothing... lol.

Puckdoku Game 321 - 6/9:

307 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Huge Zalaps

Baaaaaarf!

I legitimately want to know how many times Barry Pederson has screwed me over... seriously, he was good at first for VAN, but it never seems to work picking him for these stat categories!

Same with Zalapski, he put up some numbers.... but never 30 assists for CGY in the 90s??? (Edit: 5 times with the Pens and Whalers, but topped at 24 with CGY, and never hit 30 again )

Exact same with Ryan Whitney... twice got it for PIT, topped at 24 for ANA, never hit it again!

Also: Good lord @ Steve Rucchin, 5% is nonsense!

Oh, new Doku Jr too:

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

9 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Holos in my soul

Eh, this is ok I guess. '24 playoffs is a rough ask!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 324 - 9/9:

18 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Urbombed

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE REMEMBER JARKKO RUUTU AS A PENGUIN????

Lol, and for NJD/FIN, I even thought of Pihlman, but wasn't sure he played for NJ - turns out he only played for NJ!

 

[DitchMarner]

The right column was tough... ugh.

 

[kvladimir]

I finally found the time to create my community game idea!

Give it a shot, and see if you can guess the theme, it's really hard though, and will be really satisfying to find out...

Community Game 4062 | Puckdoku

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

Puckdoku Game 325 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hurricane Neddy

Pretty good, always feels like I could do better when I hit a 1% though, especially for a category like "5+ teams", that's usually a layup for low scores (see: Churla )
