Puckdoku Game 501 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hunter gatherer

Ugh, this one looks like a bust too, thanks to the bloated 1.8% on........... Tony McKegney????

3 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Dunham dirty

Puckdoku Game 503 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: I'm a Morin

That's at least twice now that I have forgotten which way Jeremy Morin went in the Byfuglien trade...

Also, not sure why I suddenly remembered Jonathan Girard as a 1st round pick?

Any time they do NCAA/CHL squares, I just go "wtf" and never come back

I got Glenn Anderson for WHL/NCAA and thought I nailed Charlie Coyle but of course he was the Q. And of course Ty Boucher hasn’t played in the league yet so he couldn’t work. brutal

The only player I know works for NCAA/any CHL league is Kevin Connauton

I’m gonna click random hockeydb pages until I find an OHL one, this is bullshit!

I FOUND ONE

Had to lol today at Guy Hebert being the popular pick @15%. Guess we all thought we were being sneaky

Wasn't he the Ducks' inaugural starter?

 

[HansonBro]

I dunno. I just thought the obvious answer was Gibson, Giguere or Andersen

I thought he was quite well-known in the late 90s. My street hockey friends back then knew of him; one pronounced his name Guy (as in man) He-bert lol.

for sure he was known. I just didnt expect him to be the top pick. I was expecting 3% or so. Looking at the list now... lotta good goalies I over looked. Caron even had 1gp lol

 

[DitchMarner]

Stralman Argument...

So close to that coveted 0!

 

[DitchMarner]

Perreault and Jeannot Show...

 

[kvladimir]

Took a whole day waiting on this one, never lost that 1% Would have been one of my best games ever if it wasn't for that, too...

Puckdoku Game 505 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: The goose is loose

Arguably should have just used Brown for WSH/STL, and come up with a different answer for WSH/5+ POG, but it seemed so perfect...

Also, I thought of Jerabek, Aucoin, Wickenheiser and Cavallini, but wasn't 100% sure any of those guys played for both WSH and STL

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 506 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Drake in the huis

Oh, look at that, only missed a 0 by getting one square wrong...

Unfortunately, Boyd Devereaux never got near 50+ PIMs with EDM, and didn't hit that once in his career...

 

[kvladimir]

And the finale for today, another successful pyramid!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

1 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Lumme fire when ready

Man, I thought this one was going to be a disaster, since I immediately expected that the top square would have just Weber and Subban as correct answers, and that they would be split around 50/50, ruining any chance of a good score. Thank goodness I picked Weber and not Mr. Career High 16 Goals!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 507 - 9/9:

15 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Fountain of BS

I knew I was screwed the moment I saw "Hall of Fame", so I'm posting it early, just to show that one poster from earlier is 100% correct in that people who play Puckdoku still are so hardcore that it's making obscure players often score higher than well-known ones: case in point, a 1% for Mike freakin' Fountain!!!

(which should not be possible no matter how early you are... ditto on Loktionov! )

 

[DitchMarner]

Tom Chokerske

 

[DitchMarner]

Laderriere...

Tried Ian Laperriere for PHI/ten goals, thinking he was with the Flyers longer than he was. He only had three goals in his one season with Philly. I originally put David Nemirovsky for FLA/ten goals. He topped out at nine...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 508 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Vrbatting average

Let me explain to you the utter madness that transpired here...

A list of each player I considered for FLA/10+goals, their career high with FLA, and the score they would have gotten me (if applicable):

M. Samuelsson? 13 / <0.1%
Vrbata 5
Garrison 16 / 0.1%
Reinprecht? 16 <0.1%
Sturm 3
Booth 31 / 1.5%
Matthias 14 / 0.2%
Santorelli 20 / 0.1%
Belanger? 17 / 0.4%
Stumpel 23 / 0.1%
Parrish? 26 / 0.3%
Gagner? 20 / 0.3%
Olesz? 14 / 0.4%
Dadonov? 28 / 0.5%

Guess who I picked?

 

[DitchMarner]

Goalie grid ugh...

 

[kvladimir]

My reaction on seeing this grid:

Puckdoku Game 509 - 7/9:

206 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Into the Niitty Gritty

It was actually going pretty well! Until it didn't and everything exploded...

I was down to the 2 misses and the PIT/1+SO square, then just....... ugh

So yeah, Niittymaki did not get a SO for SJS, and Chris Terreri, despite playing solidly as a backup throughout the 90s ended with a .892%
