Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

Haunted by the KHL on Halloween.

I tried Kovalenko and Kamensky for COL/KHL. Pretty surprised the latter never played in the K.

I mean, no one here is saying uniqueness score is the sole measure of Doku quality, it's just what I personally go for... Not to mention, in this particular game, going by score only, you have very much bested me!

Puckdoku Game 488 - 7/9:

202 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Peca pack of pretty posies

Pretty gross this week... I thought Dan Quinn played for PHI earlier in his career, so I picked him for PHI/50+pts, and I picked Zalapski for 50+pts/50+playoff games... he only played 48 playoff games, and was not on either Pens Cup winner, because he was in the Francis trade!

not happy with 9

Puckdoku Game 489 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Wiercoched me

Why did I think Patrick Wiercoch played for NSH?

 

[DitchMarner]

Not easy to make a pun with these names but some nice new pulls here.

Puckdoku Game 440 - 9/9:

3 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Don't come a Rau here no more

This was a tough one, about the best I could hope for:

 

[DitchMarner]

Obvious pun is King of the Cassel(s), but I've already used that one haha.

Puckdoku Game 491 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Streit jacket

Bleh........ just bleh. Could have done way better

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

4 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Lind an ear

...ditto, though this is pretty tough to score low on:

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

4 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Holding Courtnall

Now this, on the other hand, was quite enjoyable and a pretty good result...

It is frustrating that Bure is the only correct answer at the top: both Tikkanen and Dave Gagner were oh so close! But ok, shine a light on the Russian Rocket, I'm ok with this

Livin' in the Darby World!

Hendrickson gave me a high percentage, which is unusual in itself - how about the fact that he gave me a higher percentage than HOFer Andreychuk?!

Puckdoku Game 492 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gaunce Gaunce Revolution

 

[Brodeur]

Bah, I tried to use Marty Turco for the last square. I forgot that the IHL was still a thing in the late 90's / early 00's and that some NHL teams used that league instead of the AHL.

 

[DitchMarner]

A bunch of Nicholls for a Buchberger from White Castle (how amazing would it be if I had been able to use Andrew Cassels as an answer today?!)

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 493 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Cowanbunga!

Gross, gross, gross. I messed up twice on the WPG/20+A square, if you can believe it. That's such a common number to hit, and yet Buchberger only did it once, with EDM, and Clarke MacArthur just didn't play for ATL as long as I thought (just one post-deadline season, looks like?)

Had literally a million better options!

 

[HabsCode]

 

[Brodeur]

And today I learned Nelson Emerson only had 19 assists in his lone season with Atlanta...

 

[DitchMarner]

Super Mark Osborne!



I took risks here that didn't pay off. Went with Stralman for undrafted. He was drafted by my friggen team lmao. I forgot if TOR drafted him or signed him as a free agent like they've signed some other d-men since the Lockout (Rosen, Benoit etc). I convinced myself Eastwood played for PHI despite feeling in the back of my mind that he never did (must have confused him with Manderville, who played for PHI and PIT late in his career).

Puckdoku Game 494 - 8/9:

103 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Poor Janik, I knew him!

Bleh, for some reason BUF/PHI is a huge blank spot in my mind, other than Haller, Leino, Briere, Biron, guys like that who for sure would be >1% (Edit: never mind, Haller would have worked this time! )

Also whiffed on Pat Quinn of all players, thought for sure he played for PHI before becoming a coach!

On the plus side, Angelidis serving me well again... fun fact, he was born the exact same day as me, and when I looked this up and found this out, he had just scored his first NHL like 2 or 3 days prior!
