Guess players also play Puckdoku.

Puckdoku Game 469 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Krog Wave

Lol, got Robert Kron and Jason Krog confused for CAR/ANA, but that helped me with NYI/ANA...

Woy****ka! I'm in a slump lately. I put Jeff Woywitka for the Flyers/Oilers D-man square. He was property of both teams but played for neither.

I've made that mistake as well. Didn't use him today, but a good PHI/EDM D option is Danny Syvret, who was in the Comrie trade as well

Puckdoku Game 470 - 9/9:

4 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Fedun' it right

CBJ = death usually, so I'm just glad I got all 3 squares, with no one over 1%... That TBL/EDM Dman square is inexcusable though... why is Ulanov remembered so much as a TBL/EDM guy??

 

[DitchMarner]

Holy Krupp!!!

13%?!?! Is he really that famous? I guess many people remember him with COL because of that OT Cup winner in '96 and recall that he later went to the Avalanche's biggest rival. Should have gone with

Spoiler

Clark or Duchesne

Puckdoku Game 471 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: What the Fucale?

This blew up in my face as soon as I picked Karri Ramo for COL and learned that I had in fact picked the wrong former Flame (Reto Berra), who still would have been 1.5%... Just wanted to get this over with after!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

3 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Off the Schneider

Man, what a relief! I took SOOOO long on this one... not on figuring out the last square, but (as usual) figuring out the middle 2, especially the ARZ one. SOOO many players qualify for all but one category, either because they didn't get 40 points (Pyatt, Warriner, Berehowsky, Brad Richardson, Trevor Letowski, etc...) or didn't play in the OHL (Brent Ashton, Loui Eriksson, Aucoin, Dave Babych, and of course, Ballard, Vrbata, Greg Adams, and Grabner, who would all have worked for the top square if they had been OHLers! )

Finally, FINALLY, Mathieu Schneider came into my mind, and lucky me, an OHL guy despite being American!

 

[DitchMarner]

Best score in quite in a while.

Puckdoku Game 472 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Bitz of me keep passing out...

Bleh, ugly... I tried Rene Bourque for 2+ teams/CHI, no dice. He moved during the season plenty of times, just not specifically with CHI. Tried again with JP Dumont, again no dice, because even though that trade was in March (Gilmour trade), he didn't play for BUF until the next year

I thought of Jeff Shantz, Jack Skille, Adam Clendening, Jaro Spacek, and the Waiver King himself, Jarrod Skalde, who all would have worked, but I wasn't sure enough to try

 

[DitchMarner]

Could have Simmed this...

I was never going to do great with there being OHL, WHL and QMJHL columns!

Puckdoku Game 473 - 8/9:

103 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Taking a Lance

Not bad, all things considered... some good pulls. Yeah, before anyone even asks, yes there is a Vancouver connection for Grachyev (teammates with Cody Hodgson in Brampton) and Bouma (played for the Giants)

My one miss was Greg Adams for DAL, forgot he was a college guy. The OTHER Greg Adams was a WHL guy, but he didn't play for DAL

lol... I put Adams as well! It was a guess. I thought of a Western Canadian player that played for DAL.
