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

University of Michigan legend Josh Langfeld. 1998 National Championship OT winning goal against Boston College at the Fleet Center in Boston. Still Michigan's most recent ship

Pretty much Aucoin Toss:

So close to 0!

Puckdoku Game 548 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: You're the Pierre-Marc... of integrity!

I was going to wait this one out for Churla to come down... instead, he went up to 2%, now he's back down, so screw it!

Can't believe I forgot Dan Quinn for DAL/LAK, plus Ledyard, Boucher, Klatt and Millen all would have worked...

Puckdoku Game 549 - 9/9:

11 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Falloon me once, shame on Drew

"Oh hey, I bet no one remembers Drake Caggiula, except maybe Canucks fans who are still mad he didn't sign there to stay with Boeser..."

This one was a quick white flag...

 

[DitchMarner]

The time has come at last!
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
To throw away this mask...
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
Now everyone can see...
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
My true identity...

I'm Gilroy!
Gilroy! Gilroy! Gilroy!


Saw NCAA and mailed it in after getting 9% on Schultz.

Gilroy was here

Gilroy was here

Also...

I posted my game a minute after you posted yours.

Yet your percentage on Langfeld is quite a bit higher than mine (0.5% to 0.2%). We both chose him for the OTT/DET square. How does that happen?

Many more games were played in between my game and yours, and the vast majority of them did not have Langfeld as the OTT/DET selection, thereby reducing the %?

Edit: Puckdoku also usually shows the % as higher once you move to another screen and come back, which I often do

 

[DitchMarner]

I'll take this one Smoked to the Max...

Puckdoku Game 550 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Like a Sgarbossa

Managed to get this one down to a 1, but that's it, thanks Czerkawski! Could have been a 0 with Haller, Kurvers, Diduck, Danis, Odjick, Wisneiwski (!!!) or Lachance, but I guess I thought you were the best option? Silly me...

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... This score makes me feel like Oskar the Grouch

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 551 - 9/9:

9 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Super Sejna

Lol, well I guess this score isn't too bad, looking at the results... lucky just to get 9/9, honestly. You know, since it's not even Swedish / Finnish players, just the ones who played nationally for their country...

......................... CAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRL!!!

Blair Witch Project

The other day Blair Atcheynum's name randomly popped into my head and I figured he'd be a good answer on PuckDoku. But this attempt was destined to fail given there was a BUF/NSH square and a NSH/goaltender square (NSH has to be included if there's a goalie column or row).

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 552 - 9/9:

4 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Yanfare for the common man

Waited a 7 out to a 4, hehe...

Man, there really is a thing going on with NSH goalies, isn't there?

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 553 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Motte Fragile

Haha, would have been fine with a 1, what with that CBJ/NJD square (yikes), but then I went and messed it up with Derick Pouliot for PIT/2+teams, forgetting that VAN made that trade just before the season started!

(On a related note, the guy he was traded for, Andrey Pedan, makes for a great VAN/1 team answer, because he never played for PIT after the trade!

 

[DitchMarner]

Zarley Slapski

Facepalm. Pretty terrible game, but this one wasn't easy, either.

 

[DitchMarner]

John-Michael Lulz...

2% on Lilies and Jones and 3% on Coach Berube, huh?

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

94 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Antii Competitive

THIS PYRAMID IS EVIL!!!! Holy crap, making it so the second-last square is just 2 answers is such a nightmare, because all it takes is one player to answer with the 1 player who works for the last square, and everyone else's score gets jacked up to 90+

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 4/4:

47 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Zholtok to the system

This is also pretty evil, with how few answers there are for each square. It's not even "guy from Latvia", it's TEAM Latvia, so there are plenty of answers from before the end of the Soviet Union that won't work, because the players played for the Soviet teams, not Latvia...

I forgot about Ivanans, but even if I had thought of him, I wouldn't have been confident that he played 250+ games. That also disqualified Canucks legend Ronalds Kenins...

Puckdoku Game 554 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Tkaczuk around and find out!

Waited this one out too, from a 2 to a 0!

 

[kvladimir]

Dang, been a while since I nailed one of these this hard:

Spoiler: Tjarned, I'm sure
