Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

Selected Brunette but played like a Blonde...

Puckdoku Game 510 - 8/9:

105 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Thought it would be a Brise, ended up Beeched

That's a lie, I took one look at this grid, and was like "............. where do I use Slaney???? "

Can't believe I forgot Loktionov for LAK/CAR, Hlavac for NSH/CAR and Brad Hunt for NSH/COL - I thought Patrice Brisebois would work, but I think I'm getting him confused with another Dman who played for both + the Habs....

Puckdoku Game 511 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hansen, he's so hot right now, Hansen

Today I learned that it's been enough time that not many people remember Jannik Hansen as a Shark......... filing that one away for another time!

Oh, as always whenever this happens, even if it's just for 5 minutes.... behold!

Fun fact: Steve Bernier works for all four of BUF/SJS, BUF/FLA, NJD/SJS and NJD/FLA, and although he didn't actually play there, he is also tied to STL because he was offer sheeted by them as revenge for VAN offer sheeting Backes back in the '08 offseason

I had to dig SO hard for this....

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

16 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Dangerous Kurvers

I knew right away, Grabovski at the top, Komarov below, but I had a nagging feeling there was more than 1 player who would work for either or both squares, and would screw me... eventually, I remembered Parenteau's brief stint as a Hab, and even briefer stint in the KHL!

Kurvers and Diduck were just bonus, guys not known for scoring but who did get over 10 goals once each, and also played for the Habs, but too early for KHL...

Too bad Czerkawski never played in the KHL!

 

[DitchMarner]

Petrovfying...

Ugh. I keep thinking Kisio played for NYI. Like... I cannot get it out of my head that he did.

 

[Voight]

 

[kvladimir]

I waited a whole day on this 2 to become a 0, but yet again, no dice

Puckdoku Game 512 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Olesz whinin' and more thinkin'

Literally, both Hunt and Leschyshyn were a couple picks over the line, but stayed that way the whole day!

Puckdoku Game 513 - 8/9:

102 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Quine me a Rivers

Not waiting all day on this one, Norton won't go down enough. Sigh...

Missed on Jamie Rivers for NYI, weird that he had so few points despite a decently long career...

Petrovfying...

Ugh. I keep thinking Kisio played for NYI. Like... I cannot get it out of my head that he did.

He played for NYR and CGY, so he would have worked for 3 of those squares

 

[DitchMarner]

Muller House...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 513 - 5/9:

400 Uniqueness

Spoiler: White flag time...

Soooooo.... I am not good at knowing which players have hit 1000+ games, apparently! But I can thread the needle on 900!

Michael Nylander - 920
Shean Donovan - 951
Gerald Diduck - 932

Also, Brian Campbell? Only 277 PIMs his entire career, apparently!

I was blanking on 1,000 GP on San Jose. I knew Roenick would be high.

Wait... when were Thornton and White teammates? Wasn't White out of the NHL years before Thornton became a Leaf?

2010-11, when White played 23 games for the Sharks

Tough Reid...

Two percent uniqueness for the guy who shares a name with Arthur's father, eh?

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 515 - 8/9:

102 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Vincourly you can't be serious!

This blows. 2% for Michel Petit??? I only knew of him because I see him listed so often for VAN/COL, was not expecting the % to be so high. I also blew it on Nycholat for COL/TB, no idea why I keep thinking he played for TB
