Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

SMH... I selected Lubomir Sekeras instead of Andrej Sekera...

Puckdoku Game 371 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Emmerton o' fun

I have a love-hate relationship with these "players who played from X to Y" games, because on one hand, it's really easy to get low scores because of how many players are available to pick, but on the other hand, remembering if specific players made it past these season-to-season cutoffs is an exercise in madness sometimes...

Case in point, I missed on Jeff Toms by just one season (could have sworn I remembered him playing against Pittsburgh in the '01 playoffs, but it must have been '00), and Ryan Shannon by a few (thought he went to the Ducks after the Canucks, which was in the late 2000s...)

Boo.

 

[DitchMarner]

Choked on the last square. Erskine came to mind, but I opted to go with Jurcina instead. He last played for WSH in '09-'10.

Puckdoku Game 372 - 7/9:

236 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Not quite Eakin one out

Good lord I hate Vegas

Got the 5% on Hunt right away, and just did the Jerry Seinfeld hands-throw

 

[DitchMarner]

*Sees a VGK column, a goalie column and kvladimir's score...

Opts out for today.

Puckdoku Game 373 - 6/9:

300 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Friends in Clowe places

Oh, this was baaad...

[FLA/20+G] Kudelski, who I forgot was traded during the '94 season, so although he scored 40 goals that year, it doesn't count since only 14 were with FLA

[FIN/20+G] Donskoi - he came oh so close a bunch of times, 17 was the closest

[FIN/500+P] Sami Salo, which I should have known would be wrong, since he played so much during the DPE and was injured so much, and also just was not as offensive a player as most probably think he was... sigh

 

[DitchMarner]

Yes!

No picture for Kulemin/Kulyomin? What is this madness?

 

[DitchMarner]

Had to do a goaltending-related row and a WHL-related column and I sucked... no Kidding.

Puckdoku Game 374 - 8/9:

110 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Shove it up your Bassen

Ahhh, goalie stat category, the gift that always provides...

Also, made the classic mistake of not just knowing who played in the WHL, so assuming a BC-born player would be a good bet and picked Willie Mitchell for NJ, but he's a BCJHL/college guy

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... Andrew Ference played for CGY and BOS, but Brad Ference played for CGY but not BOS...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 375 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Grosek exaggeration

Meh, could probably have done better on CGY/PHI, but hard to complain about a 1...

 

[DitchMarner]

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly dislike Clarkson any more than I did...

Seriously, though, the NJ/CLB square was instant death. The only other answer I could think of was Severson and I figured he would destroy my uniqueness score. Turns out he may have been a better answer than David.,.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 376 - 8/9:

112 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Lok'ed but not loaded

Had to rush this one today, soooo meh. Forgot McEachern only played 50 games with LA, so that obviously wasn't right. And yes, the NJ/CBJ square is death, the only worse one is DET/MIN

 

[iamjs]

**** you Derick Brassard, who I thought had at least one season where he was in the low 20s.

Penguindoku: 8/9

 

[DitchMarner]

Absolute domination today!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 377 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: That's Sejna lot

Ok, I take back what I said about these types of games, like 2 games ago!

 

[Brodeur]

Bah, I goofed on the TOR+2010s square. My brain went to the Dion Phaneuf trade and I was trying to remember the obscure European forward that Toronto sent over. I was delighted when I remembered it was Niklas Hagman.

.....but I forgot that trade happened in early 2010, so he wouldn't qualify for the square.

 

[DitchMarner]

#NeedsmoreMoore (if the NJ square was FLA, TB or TOR, he'd be an answer for every square).

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 378 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Dagenais sayer

Ugh, still feel like all these 1%ers shouldn't be that high... am I so out of touch? No, no it's the other Puckdoku players who are wrong

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 379 - 8/9:

103 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Life in Plavsic, it's fantastic

It's really getting hard to get my numbers... man, how do Barrasso for STL/OTT and Vaananen for VAN/PHI get those %s? I even waited for more games to be played before posting, but still...

Oh, and Lukas Krajicek, Mr. 1st-round-drafted-offensive-Dman-61 career assists can take a hike!

 

[DitchMarner]

Pretty damn good, and I didn't use Sillinger at all!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 380 - 7/9:

214 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Carr crash

Lol, I should not have thought this one through so thoroughly, that goalie column was 100% guaranteed death... I picked Vokoun for MTL, had no idea he had so few playoff wins... obviously never won a series with NSH, and he was only in FLA for years they missed, so it was down to the 2012 Caps year (he didn't play) and the next year with PIT for 7 or so wins... yeah, no.

Also, as a bonus, I got Scott Pearson confused with Scott Thornton (because they both played for EDM, but only Thornton played for MTL )

 

[DitchMarner]

Y U HAFTA B MED?!?! PUKDOKU IS JUST GAME!!!
