Puckdoku Game 580 - 4/9:

501 Uniqueness

I hate it, I hate it a lot... :cry:

[CAR/40+A] Holik - thought he scored more at the start of his career (early 90s!), but no, only got 24, and he never actually got 40+, but prob. only because he peaked in the dead puck era...

[DET/20+] Thought I remembered him having a really good year with DET, but no, he got 16 in '02, that was his best

[DET/30+] Gilchrist - apparently I way misremembered how much he scored... tops was 14 in '98 :eyeroll:

[DET/40+] Garpenlov - nope, he moved to SJ too quick to hit this, got 44 in '93. the year after being traded...

[BOS/30+] Kevin Stevens - forgot how short his stint as a Bruin was... only 13A (in 41 games)

More team combos and less stats, please! :ha:

I wish the game was completely stats-based more often! :naughty:

Considering you top me nearly every day, it's quite jarring when I beat you badly on entirely stats-based grids...

My brain is way too geared towards "who played for what team for a blink of an eye", which does not work for stat categories...

Puckdoku Game 581 - 8/9:

108 Uniqueness

UGH, GOALIES :surrender

You tellin' me Manny freakin' Legace did not win 5 playoff games his entire career? :biglaugh:

Also: I never know which guy to pick for VAN/PHI - Hlavac, Vaananen, Alberts, Jim Dowd, Geoff Sanderson, Beranek, Antoski, Zezel, Craven.... I swear I have seen every single one of those guys hit me with 1+% :help:

Maybe I should try good ol' Greg C., if I don't need him for a different square... :laugh:

Manny's Legace?

lmao... Manny Legace won only four post season games in the NHL?! I figured someone who was in the League for so many years had at least five playoff wins.

LOL. I did my game before checking out your review of yours.

As you should, that'd be cheating!

Why couldn't you have played a game for NJ before being traded, Alyn McCauley? :pullhair:

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6

:

0 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Haha, this was very different than most Pyramids! Normally I struggle with the middle 2 squares a lot, but this time I came up with so many names so fast, I was like - I can probably do this entirely with ex-Canucks, and still get a 0 - and I was right!

The only thing that bothered me was the possibility of more than one player in the top square. There are actually quite a few players who played for all three of VAN, NYR and TBL - Ledyard, Motte, Hlavac, Malik, Michel Petit, Nycholat, probably more still. But none of them had all 3 categories - Hlavac would have worked because of his one crazy year with NYR, but he only played 436 games! :amazed:
