Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

 

[kvladimir]

This was absolute murder, as most Pyramids typically are... 4 NCAA guys who ALL played for the Sharks and had at least 1 30 goal year? Are you kidding??? I thought of Pavelski and Guerin right away, but those 2 obviously needed to be the last 2!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

160 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: No Guerin-tee

Joe Murphy was the one who hung me out to dry, took sooooo long to remember him, and I wasn't even really sure he played NCAA, it was just a hunch...

Puckdoku Game 382 - 7/9:

202 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Goloubiffed

Ugh, was looking good, but then 1% on Riendeau (????), 1% on Brown (????), gave up after that. Thought Schastlivy would work for OTT, but he played 22 games for the Ducks before leaving the NHL. Oh well... Zach Boychuk for CAR, but I was expecting to be wrong (edit: was only wrong by 12 games - 7 for PIT and 5 for NSH, then he went back to CAR!)

 

[DitchMarner]

Didn't have too much time today...

Puckdoku Game 383 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: I Nych'ed you, and I'd do it again

Collapsed like a house of cards after a few picks... I once again picked Zolnierczyk for a NYR square, I don't know why I have this mental block telling me that he played for NYR, when he did not (no it's not because he played for NYI, I'd be making that mistake with TONS of players if I couldn't differentiate them!)

 

[DitchMarner]

Betts'cha can't get just one (uniqueness!)

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 384 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: CoCo Nuts

I love when they give us "Undrafted" and any original 6 team, and this one has 2!

Oooh, I always love when I have best game, too!

It'll probably only last 10 minutes, but still!

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

today I learned thru Puckdoku that Buddy Robinson's real name is Charles. Cool

 

[Brodeur]

That was a fun one, naturally I had all Devils for the last row. I was a big Jeff Farkas guy back in the day, I thought he could have been something if not for injuries. He went straight from the Frozen Four to the NHL playoffs and scored a goal against the Devils in 2000.

I wanted to use Kristian Kudroc for NYI+1st rounder but I wasn't 100% sure he played in the NHL (he had 26 games). Looking at the scores and J.P. Dumont was at 0.1% since it's easy to forget that the Islanders drafted him and traded him because of a contract dispute.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Billy Tibbetts was a recent one.

Clifford: The Big Uniqueness Pred...

Puckdoku Game 385 - 8/9:

108 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Brot the pain

Aaaaaggghhh, I did the same thing as @DitchMarner - "Well, NSH and ARZ are 2 of the least-remembered teams Ronning played for, so surely... CRAP"

Also got my Scotts confused again... Pellerin, not Young!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

59 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Hed of the class

Brb, gonna turn in my Canucks fan card for not realizing Markus Naslund was an answer for all of these except the top one...

 

[DitchMarner]

I guess Briere's time with MTL is better remembered than I thought.

I took a chance with Rob DiMaio on the last square. This guy played for years, and for some reason, the only team I remember him with is TB. He didn't even spend very much of his career with Tampa.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 386 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: O'B quiet

Ugh, had another perfect game going, then suddenly, instead of picking Jassen Cullimore for one of TBL/MTL or FLA/MTL, I picked him for COL/FLA

Gave up after that, missed on TBL/ANA too with J.J. Daigneault. I have no idea why I keep thinking he played for Tampa, I think I'm just confusing him with Bergevin

 

[kvladimir]

Oooh, bonus Doku Jr!

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

18 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Delved down

I was really unsure on all 4 of these, but all 4 ended up correct! This is the way...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 387 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Holz... hammerzeit!

Aw come on, work with me McEachern, you're not supposed to be that high!

 

[DitchMarner]

#Rich(Percentage)Peverley
Ugh... done in by the upper left corner square again.

 

[DitchMarner]

#Armweak
I tried Derek Armstrong for the LA/250 points square and it turns out he fell about 30 points shy. Then I made that cursor-on-the-wrong-square mistake.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 388 - 7/9:

204 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Star Chiasser

Oooof. Let's see, who would get >1% for EDM/WSH... Courtnall? Nah, I can't always use ex-Canucks... Glencross? Probably too high... Chimera? Ditto. Nylander? Didn't actually happen! Oh, how about Chiasso- AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

^me, every time pretty much.

Also - Jan Hlavac and Joe Sacco? 224 and 213 points respectively...

 

[DitchMarner]

Hold Still, Man. Follow the Sheppard. Damn, couldn't Hackett!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 389 - 8/9:

107 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Dag nabit

Goalies = seinfeld.gif

My one whiff was Kirk McLean for CAR. McLean didn't get 10 wins for any team other than Vancouver, fun fact!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 390 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Throw this one in the Corbet

Ewww, I had so many CGY options I could have gone with... Irving, Foo, Ivanans, Horak, Byron Ritchie... but Dawes was the only one I was 100% sure of!

Gave up after that, the MIN row was all that was left... I randomly remembered that Dan Fritsche played for MIN, so I swung on him, but turns out he went to the Swiss league after NHL, not the KHL. Oh well, would have been a hell of a pull

 

[DitchMarner]

No Dawes! I didn't do so great on a puzzle involving the KHL!

 

[kvladimir]

Woops, almost missed this:

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

86 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Tkachuk'in Knuckles

I figured Brett Hull might also be an option, but played it safe. Good thing I did, Hull only got 458 career PIMS!
