Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

#Sufferin' suckotash! I named Sylvester but choked on TOR. Tried Grundstrom for the TOR/LA square. Of course, he never actually played for TOR.

I love when they include the Cancucks because, although I was a tike in 1994, my parents got me a VHS of the ABC Cup documentary. I must have watched that thing 300 times.

I can remember weird Canucks.

I thought Martin Lapointe played for PHI (I was thinking late in his career, after the 2004 Lockout). After finding out he didn't, Lapointe with PHI still kind of "feels right." Any possible explanations?

Perhaps a Mandela Effect? Though I'm not sure anyone else has this false - it's really more of a feeling or impression than an actual memory. To be honest, usually when I have this particular feeling that a player played for a certain team, I'm right (as was the case with Albelin/CGY).

Puckdoku Game 362 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Halestorm

I don't think there's a single NHL team whose 1st round picks I know less than PHI's. Probably because they trade them away a lot... Took me forever to remember Ouellet, and that is a perilous name to get the correct player for!

(Edit: awwww, Sbisa! Should have remembered him! )

Puckdoku Game 363 - 3/9:

600 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Paille of s***

Looooooooool, ok. Ok. There seems to be a lot of inconsistency in this game with the "Drafted" categories... And a few of these I just got things mixed up (like which team drafted Stefan Della Rovere vs. who he played for). I'm mad enough I will not even elaborate...

 

[DitchMarner]

Not too bad.

How many players have scored 30 or more goals in a season for SJ? Like ten?

I tried to be sneaky with the McDavid answer. I mean, who thinks of him when they think of ten goal scorers? Should have gone with someone like Buchberger or Reasoner instead.

Puckdoku Game 363 - 5/9:

401 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Defeated by the jawbone of an ass

Welp, another big ol' fart.

Let's make this quick:

Damphousse (for SJ/30) nope, topped out at 23. After this I figured he'd work for EDM, and I was right
Janney - nope, 13
Sergei Samsonov - yeah, I had a feeling he was only an Oiler post-deadline in '06, but this was my last pick and I did not care by this point
Shawn McEachern - another one who did not play long enough with the team in question. Frolov was the next guy I would have picked...

I really need a new answer for CGY/NJ. I've used Albelin twice recently.

Puckdoku Game 365 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: PowUrbom'ed

Another day, another near miss...

Mike Sillinger for a scoring stat probably would have been a good choice, that is if he hadn't only gotten 308 assists in his career...

I really need a new answer for CGY/NJ. I've used Albelin twice recently.

Hale, Schlemko, Housley (probably too high %), Gilmour (ditto), Cammalleri, Eddie Lack, probably a few others who would be good options... EDIT: Ohh, Rob Ramage is a good one I've used before, any time other than with Lanny McDonald if you get a Colorado Rockies guy, that's usually going to help you

Puckdoku Game 366 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: He's big, he's bald, his wins total is...... lol

Another near miss, man this is frustrating!

All I had to do was use Nagy for 100+ goals and Paul Cavallini for 100+ GP, but I did it the other way around for some reason!

And then.......... Alex Auld. He of *checks notes* 91 CAREER WINS!!!!!!!!

 

[DitchMarner]

This is some Loney Toons shit right here!

Troy Loney didn't score 100 goals in his career? We're not talking about 200 here - just 100! He played all those years and he ended up with... 87 goals.
