Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

Puckdoku Game 536 - 9/9:

8 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Walz well that ends well...

3+ goals in a single playoff? FLORIDA???

...I actually got really lucky here, to be honest. I almost jumped for joy when I plugged in Walz and it was correct (I do remember him burning the Canucks a bunch), only to recoil in horror at the 4%!

Also, I didn't have time to post this when I did it, but check THIS out!

Spoiler: Danis boy

Getting a 1 or 2 in Immaculate Grid is extremely rare, since they score by adding up the percentages, even when they are <1%, unlike Puckdoku!

 

[DitchMarner]

That's J-double o-r -i-s... that's Double J, Josh Jooris... hahaha...

Puckdoku Game 537 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Gimme one Riesen

Dammit, Churla! Why you play for Flames in 80s only??

I actually really seem to lack good options for the Flames who played for them in the 90s, it's weird...

 

[DitchMarner]

Storr closed on weekends...

 

[kvladimir]

FINE, I give up again, teetering between 1 and 2 all day, never quite dropping

Puckdoku Game 538 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Dalpe Maybe

 

[DitchMarner]

A Burridge Too Far...

Man, Fernandez destroyed my game...

Puckdoku Game 539 - 6/9:

301 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Keep on Nolan

.... not worth the pixels it is displayed on

[MIN/BOS] I thought Dave Scatchard played for MIN - I was probably confusing him with Bill Muckalt (ex-Canucks hurting me for a change!), because they were both in the same trade (Potvin!)

[SJS/MIN] Nolan Schaefer - I have a feeling I was confusing him with another goalie (Stalock?)

[FLA/50+ PIMs] Shane O'Brien - only played 9 games there, so naturally couldn't rack up 50

This went much better, thankfully!

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

6 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Cheech each other right

 

[Channelcat]

Minnesota........every f***ing day Minnesota. Nobody knows (or cares) who played in Mn.

 

[DitchMarner]

Bob Fork'em

Ugh... this was rough...

 

[kvladimir]

While I wait for my score on the main game to come down (that means I got 9/9 )...

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

2 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Wotton destruction

Also, today in "explain this screenshot"...

... how in the heck is the average uniqueness 450, when the average score is 5.2 and the top square is just one guy?

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... DET and ATL/WPG...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 540 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Primal Skriko

Yeah, DET/WPG is a tough one... Meech at 1.3% Get outta here...

Missed on SJS/200+G with Craig Janney who had... 188

 

[kvladimir]

Happy holidays!

Well, this sucked!

Puckdoku Game 542 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Langer management

100+ playoff games is really, really hard!

Jeff Brown: 2 trips to the Finals (but only played 2 games for the Caps)... 87 career PO games

Robert Lang: thought he went to the Finals with DET and lots of PO games with PIT, but no, he went to the 3rd round twice, and retired before the PHX run in 2012... 91 career PO games

Edit: Aw man, Mathieu Schneider and Murray Craven should have been obvious!

 

[DitchMarner]

Thomas The Blank Engine!

My man Steve Thomas is an answer to every square. I ended up with a blank space because I went with

Spoiler

Billy Harris for TOR/100+ GP playoff career.

I had his timeline wrong. I thought he was with the Isles during their Dynasty years. I should have gone with

Spoiler

Tomas Kaberle.

I knew he either just missed or just made it to 100 playoff GP.

 

[DitchMarner]

(Fairly) Happy Gilmour...

Did the dreaded NSH/VAN square last. Could've been worse...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 543 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hlavac your way

Finally, a 0 I don't have to wait on! (I'm the king of picking guys right at 1% or 1.1% )

And also, a probably-less-than-5-minute best game!
