Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

Puckdoku Game 417 - 9/9:

8 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Lindback to the future

Ugh, goalies! Wtf, 3% on Lindback??? And why do so many people remember Kay Whitmore?

 

[DitchMarner]

lol... such a bland game. All those Jeffs, a Mike and a Brian. Sillinger was my last answer. I thought he might give me a somewhat high percentage; I wasn't expecting anything like 25%.

Puckdoku Game 418 - 9/9:

5 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Browning hazard

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 419 - 7/9:

203 Uniqueness

Spoiler: It's a total Zham!

Ugh, always iffy with the stat categories...

[LAK/60+P] Picked Tocchet, but he fell off a cliff after leaving PIT
[BOS/30+A] Picked Zhamnov, didn't realize he was only a Bruin right at the end of his career...

Other than that, got some decent pulls here... nobody remembers how good Barry Pederson was, he is just "the scrub who got traded for Neely"

 

[DitchMarner]

I almost got a perfect score!

Juha?

I was so close to a perfect score.

I heard you. I was calling my Secretary. Juuuhhhaaa!

Puckdoku Game 420 - 9/9:

14 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Froesing!

Bleh, this is about as good as I could have hoped to do with Vegas there...

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

3 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Halpern hand

Also... this. Could have been waaay worse

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 421 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Get up and Haller

Ahhhh, finally... I've been Craven sarcasm a win like this for a while...

Including the "getting best game for 5 minutes" part

 

[DitchMarner]

Bulishit! I figured Jan Bulis had at least ten playoff points... but no. He only had six. I also thought Petr Svoboda played for CAR/MTL but apparently not.

View attachment 903253

Perhaps you got this fellow confused with Petr, since he started playing right after Petr retired?

Puckdoku Game 422 - 6/9:

302 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Fountain of goalie voodoo

Well, this fell apart quickly... Always love when the Leafs come up and everyone and their mother can pick all the obscure guys like Rosehill

Missed OTT/FLA because I thought Radek Dvorak played for OTT, no dice

Missed on the PHI goalie with Soderstrom (0.884% ) and on OTT goalie with Mike Fountain, who played 11 career games in the dead puck era, so I thought maybe... nope, .880%

 

[kvladimir]

How on earth did I pull THIS off???

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

0 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: No Chel

Thank you knowledge of obscure ex-Canucks' careers!

 

[DitchMarner]

Naming everyone including the Baker, the Candlestick Maker.

 

[DitchMarner]

Is Cam Barker Bob Barker? 5%... really?! And I assumed Luciano Borsato (who played for WPG/ARI) was European. I guess he was an Italian Canadian.

 

[kvladimir]

Technically a 0! The best kind of 0?

Puckdoku Game 423 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Going InCarneyto

I might have lost a few months of life with how hard I pored over that MIN/ARZ square. Really felt like I was forgetting someone good............. I was! Former Canuck Andrew freakin' Ebbett!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 424 - 8/9:

105 Uniqueness

Spoiler

 

[DitchMarner]

Terrible. I like stats. I hate naming undrafted players and players who played in certain Junior Leagues...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 425 - 6/9:

300 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Langenbrutal

I literally got all 3 goals squares wrong just because I'm so used to goals being to the left of assists that I got both categories confused!

Was supposed to be Maclean, Havlat and Muller for goals (and Havlat would have been incorrect, he only got 242), and Marc Savard, Jamie Langenbrunner and Mathieu Schneider for assists (all 3 would have been correct and <1%).

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... I tried Leetch and Derek King for 300+ goals squares. Both had well over 200 goals, but neither was that close to 300.

 

[banks]

I'd have bet my house that Tarasenko had 300 goals by now. Turns out he's at 293 for his career. Now my puckdoku is a donut today.

 

[Voight]

This was a fun one. Had stopped for a while cause it isn't really fun when people cheat but anyways.

Spoiler: doku

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 425 - 3/9:

600 Uniqueness

Spoiler: UnSkilled labour

Ehhhh... well, the first 2 picks were a good start! And then...

[CGY/CBJ] Time Erixon - forgot he got traded before playing for CGY (might have refused to sign? I forget...)

[CGY/40G] Tom Lysiak - he hit 30 for the Atlanta Flames, but never 40

[NCAA/40G] Craig Janney - knew he had some very high scoring years points-wise, figured he would have had 40 goals at least once, but no, he was alllll assists (82 one year!)

[750+games/40G] Mike Bullard, who played... 727 games (AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!)

[CGY/500A] Chris Drury (only 360, his career was so short!)

[NCAA/500A] Kevin Stevens (ditto, only 397)

 

[DitchMarner]

^This is the reason I opted not to play today. The grid is ridiculously tough.

 

[Brodeur]

Normally would have gone with Krzysztof Oliwa for Flames+Jackets, but had to go with the unfortunate theme. RIP Johnny Hockey

 

[DitchMarner]

You're not The One today, Mister Anders(s)on.

Ughhh... I confused Mikael Andersson with Niklas Andersson.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 427 - 7/9:

201 Uniqueness

Spoiler: I am serious, and don't call me Aebischerly!

Goalies!

[BUF/1SO] Peter Skudra - I remembered BUF being on his list of teams, but it seems he played, uhhhh... one minute for the Sabres, oops!

[MTL/1SO] David Aebischer - 39 games, no SOs

Also:

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 3/4:

106 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Slegr bomb

Oof... that % on Slegr! Also, apparently Michael Grosek didn't play in the Extraliga, just a junior league, and then Switzerland, Russia and Sweden after leaving the NHL...

Timashov is a good pull though, I remember picking him for a KHL square a while ago, only to discover that he is Ukrainian and played in the SHL (although funny enough, he is apparently joining the KHL this upcoming season... welp )
