Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[DitchMarner]

The Unger to do well; the Payne of being wrong

Looks like Al Secord never made it to 40 assists.

Puckdoku Game 496 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: ThanksGibbons

Lol, took a while, but I managed to get a 1 on this one...

Why is Hutton such a popular pick?

 

[DitchMarner]

Fehr-ly decent.

This is quite good, though.

Puckdoku Game 497 - 7/9:

211 Uniqueness

Puckdoku

Guess NHL players based on team, season, and stats. Choose wisely, as you only get 9 shots to fill the board.

Puckdoku Game 498 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gonna Cheechoo a lesson

Just the right amount of overthinking... that Sens/20+ playoff points one took a while... I was like........ Gonchar? Bondra? Gomez? Gaborik? Stepan? All too obvious? Smolinski? Schaefer? Not sure if they got enough points... Then landed on Cheechoo after a while, remembered he was playing in the playoffs in '02, so I figured he got enough

Got best game (for now) as well!

Oh, I guess I forgot yesterday's, and the Doku Jr:

Puckdoku Game 497 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Holosination

For this one, I confused Vaclav Nedorost with someone else who I am sure played for CAR and COL, was a high draft pick, and I think had a name starting with N... not Nestrasil, he didn't play for COL...

The other miss was Ryan Craig, who played 11 playoff games in his first 2 seasons, both with Tampa... could have fooled me!

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 3/4:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Chartraw is war

Can't remember what I messed up here, but I do know when I first played this, Reinhart was 10% and Oddleifson was 3%!

 

[Carbooja]

 

[DitchMarner]

Bob's Burgers and Beers

5% for Conacher, eh? Wow.

Puckdoku Game 499 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Jaffray Fallin'

2 is a good score, but when it all comes from one player? Dangit, Aberg!

Meanwhile, in pyramidland...

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

0 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Brylin Satisfied

Haha, another one where thinking long and hard paid off! I was really struggling on the team Sweden square, knowing full well that Lidstrom and Zetterberg would work (and Alfredsson, of course), but be really high %, and that Franzen and Samuelsson would not, but I was SURE there was another Swedish one-time Red Wing that had those numbers... Tomas Sandstrom, my guy!

 

[Brodeur]

Wouldn't have expected Kevin Todd to be more obscure than Zdeno Ciger.

 

[DitchMarner]

Zelepukin'

Solid result, but it took me ages to produce a decent answer for ANA/NSH...

 

[Brodeur]

I did enjoy the Zelepukin anecdote that Bill Guerin told during his Spittin Chiclets podcast. Guerin had a contract dispute with the Devils and demanded a trade. He eventually signed but was traded a couple months later; Guerin and Zelepukin were sent to Edmonton for Jason Arnott and Bryan Muir.

Zelepukin didn't talk much in general and was quietly sitting next to Guerin on the flight to Edmonton. When they landed Zelepukin angrily said something like "Dammit Billy, you had to ask for a trade....."
