Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[kvladimir]

Sullivan for the win? Or Getzlaf for the laugh?

I put

Spoiler

Jim Slater

for ARI/AHL (guess he didn't play in that League)

Slater most definitely played in the AHL, your problem there is that he was a Thrasher/Jet

LMAO.

I guess when I saw ARI, my mind automatically made the WPG connection. Of course, the Coyotes were the old Jets, not the current franchise that was based in ATL..

Puckdoku Game 630 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Are you not Ehntertained?

Got stuck on a 1, tried to wait it out, and it went up to 2 instead!

 

[GlitchMarner]

Were you talking to me?

No, my son is named Courtnall, not Bortnall...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 631 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: The Ledyardbirds

Ooooh, my kind of game. Obscure, obscure, obscure!

Aaaaand best game, despite one at 0.9%

That sure won't last!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

18 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Blame it on McRae

Had to bite the bullet on Andreychuk, as he and Ryan O'Reilly were the only 2 I could think of for that square........ lots of other guys who would have been good if they won a Cup (Marchment, Jeff Brown, Bates Battaglia, Owen Nolan for the top square, etc...)

[GlitchMarner]

Jim Carey stars in a rather lackluster remake of Cujo...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 632 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Auld in a day's work

Ugh, goalies, ad infinitum

My miss was Byron Dafoe, who only didn't get 10 wins with WSH (I forgot WSH was his first team, was thinking he came in as a backup during the Kolzig years, when they were a very good regular season team...)

 

[GlitchMarner]

Here's a Donald I can get behind!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 633 - 9/9:

2 Uniqueness

Spoiler: What an Oliver twist!

About as good as I could get with a category like "2024 playoffs"!

.......... OH, PLOT TWIST!

 

[GlitchMarner]

#Flexin' with Alexei

Puckdoku Game 634 - 7/9:

200 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Aucoin's Razor

Absolutely, 100% should have been a 0 game, are you kidding me???

Whiffed on Slaney, who only had *checks notes* 91 points!!!!!!

Then screwed up by confusing (not the first time) Sgarbossa with Cramarossa, the latter of whom was a waiver claim who went from ANA -> VAN, while the former only played for ANA, not VAN

 

[GlitchMarner]

Look, it's Jonas, Brothers!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 635 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Janik in the streets

 

[GlitchMarner]

Just my Luke...

LMAO... check out these misses. I picked

Spoiler

Petr Sejna,

who played 49 games and

Spoiler

Jeff Brown,

who had 747 NHL GP.

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 636 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Benny and the Regrets

SO good after the first 6 squares, so incredible........ but THEN-

I thought Robert Dirk for sure played way more games, but actually only 402

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 637 - 7/9:

202 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Collateral Ramage

Boooooooooo... DET/MIN is straight up evil, and I forgot Goloubef wasn't one of the 10 players that works there

Also, I should probably just stay away from Cramarossa / Sgarbossa!

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Doku Jr - 3/4:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hey there Iginla

Ugh, I forgot Russ Courtnall wasn't on the '86 Canadiens...

 

[GlitchMarner]

Rejoice for Boyce!

One lifeline used...

 

[GlitchMarner]

Corey Millen stars in Boyd Meets World...

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Game 638 - 9/9:

5 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Shoulda seen it Giacomin

Ugh, GOALIES!!

Also, what the Frk??

 

[kvladimir]

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

1 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Lang Ten

This was a tough one, much appreciated!

Unfortunate note - if he had played a single game in the '13 playoffs, Jimmy Hayes would have gotten his name on the Cup and counted for the second-last square here...

Ditto Versteeg, if he had gotten a single game in with BOS before being traded to CHI...
