Puckdoku Game 391 - 6/9:

300 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Touch of Graovac

Ugh, this one fell to pieces after a great start...

For some reason, I thought Maxim Balmochnykh would work for ANA/STL, no idea what went on there... Then, I took swings on Alyn McCauley (maxed at 24 pts for TOR, then got 47 as a Shark), and Langenbrunner (24 again! )

Puckdoku Game 392 - 9/9:

I used Garrison for the bottom right tile as well. Idk why but he's always one of the first players that comes to mind for me for both franchises lol

 

[DitchMarner]

Adams Family... Creighton was a great answer, but I put Craig Adams for the last square remembering he had a ten goal season; he had that season with CAR and never came close to ten goals in a season with PIT.

So this is what it's like when you're the first person to play a game. Daigle missed Mess by one year in New York.

Puckdoku Game 393 - 4/9:

501 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Tanti do better?

Uh, no actually, I suck at these...

[PIT/10G] Koltsov (9 - ) immediately got 1 wrong and mostly took swings from here on...

[PIT/20g] Tanti (14)

[CHI/10G] Pisani (7)

[MTL/20G] Sundstrom (8 - lol )

[MTL/30G] Ryan Walter (29, and 38 the previous year with WSH )

Take away my license!

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 2/4:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: KovalenkNO

Aaagghhh, messed this one up with a mis-click! Was going to go Patrick Flatley for Gretzky/NYR teammate, but I put him in the EDM/Messier square by mistake

Also, I confused Kovalenko with Kamensky again, neither of which would have been correct for Gretzky/EDM because Kovalenko wasn't a Ranger and Kamensky wasn't an Oiler (and got to NYR the season after Gretzky retired)

 

[Stive Morgan]

Weise and Pouliot were great picks for the bottom left tile as well!

 

[DitchMarner]

Dustin "Uniqueness Bustin'" Penner. Seriously, 20%?!

Puckdoku Game 394 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Poison Pihl

Tuomas Pihlman........

Tomas Plihal.

...

 

[Brodeur]

I did enjoy realizing that I could have used Shields+McGillis for the Sharks row too. Under 500 GP with some Devils connections in Loktionov/Fahey. David Tanabe also was a random Devil killer back in the day, unfortunately his career was cut short due to injury.

 

[kvladimir]

A good immaculate grid makes the pain go away, a little

Spoiler: Why so Sauer, kraut?

Puckdoku Game 395 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Skru that

Didn't realize Skrudland was so injury prone (881 games over 17 seasons)

Also, Igor Larionov? 14 season Hall of Famer? Only 169 goals!!!

 

[ES]

I like how someone put all-Sabres grid in my community one.

Leopold, Vanek, Bogosian, Errey, Turgeon, Ledyard, McLlwain, Gratton, Shannon.

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... one good answer away from a perfect game. I tried Brylin for the NJ/1000 GP square. Turns out he didn't come close to 1000 games (under 800 in his career).

Point me to it, I want to see if I can do all ex-Canucks (other than Ledyard)

 

[kvladimir]

Hahaha, I agonized over this one for so long, trying to come up with one guy who played for DET, NYI and PHI, besides Mike Sillinger, who I knew was going to be the top square. Then I discovered these "life lines" and thought, ok, sure, if I can figure it out by using something provided to me like this, it's not cheating...

Turns out, I could have figured it out a long time ago, it's just I didn't realize that Valtteri Filppula played for NYI, which I didn't know because I was confusing him with Franz Nielsen, who played for DET and NYI, but not PHI, so I thought it was a one guy was DET/PHI and the other was DET/NYI type of situation!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

91 Uniqueness
2 Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Ehnemy sighted

[DitchMarner]

So Saad. I thought of Nikitin and Upshall for STL/CLB but wasn't sure either was an answer (both were correct). I didn't want to choose Sillinger because I thought he would be a super high percentage answer. The best alternative I could think of was Saad (35%).

Puckdoku Game 396 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gaunce more into the breach!

Wtf, 1% on Christian Backman?? You serious mate?????

Hey! Puckdoku players! Stop bein' so good!

You somehow overthought yourself into picking the highest % player by a fair margin!

 

[DitchMarner]

Seriously... team Captains for franchises that debuted in the last ~25 years?

RIGHT???

Puckdoku Game 397 - 7/9:

208 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Holik Cow!

Swing and a miss on Ottawa, just didn't want to pick Alfredsson, Spezza, Karlsson or Brady, which only leaves the captain(s)? from their formative years. I tried Kevin Dineen, but no dice. (Edit: I GOT THE WRONG DINEEN!!! )

Also, I thought Kovacevic went OTT-->WPG-->MTL? Bah.

 

[DitchMarner]

Incorrectly guessed Nabokov...

Puckdoku Game 398 - 7/9:

204 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Got the Yip

Haha, well well, guess which 3 squares were the last ones I did?

Maaaan, Jamie McGinn was my other guess for SJS/ANA, and he was 0.2%!!

I whiffed on SJS/medal with Harri Sateri, which was right for the medal, but he was only drafted by SJS, never played for them Other miss was Grigorenko... (Edit: WAIT, WTF?? Grigorenko was correct with 0.2%, why did it give me a wrong answer??? Is there another Grigorenko? )

Gee, I wonder what the theme was today?

Did you put Grigorenko as an answer in the right slot? If so, it sounds like you got screwed over.
