Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[GlitchMarner]

Not really a Ruff outing... DAL/ANA square is always tough, however.

Mike Bullard Radio presents Brendan Shanaman!

Naming Captains for Hartford/Carolina? GTFO with that shit.

Had a travel day yesterday, so catching up:

Puckdoku Game 651 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Ebbett and flow

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 652 - 9/9:

4 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Holden my beer

Once again, Canucks fans... little obsessed with this game? Cliff Ronning with more picks than Havlat for MIN/500+ pts??? Come on...

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

0 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Adams Family

Loool, this one took a while, because I kept trying players who just barely didn't meet the criteria...

Case in point: Jeff Brown had 498 career PIMs, Wojtech Wolski had 99 career goals, Zdeno Ciger (for the 2nd square) had 94 career goals...

 

[GlitchMarner]

Agent Skalde is on the case... are you Kidding me?

6% on f'n Clemmensen? lol wtf.

Puckdoku Game 653 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hand of Fahey

Well well well.... goalies actually didn't burn me this time! Funny what happens when it's just "name a goalie"

Also, wooo! Best game with goalies??? Gotta be a first!

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Got me a good one in IG today despite the 50+ assists category... (thanks @GlitchMarner for teaching me the ways of Widing )

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Ah screw it, bad game:

Puckdoku Game 654 - 8/9:

103 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Klee Club

Straight up confused 2 players for this one - Dmitry Afanasenkov, when I meant to pick Evgeny Artyukhin

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Shaun Heshka was my pick for Coyotes-KHL. Underrated pick.

Puckdoku Game 655 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Carney Folk

Love me a good best game

And only 5 ex-Canucks, to boot!

 

[GlitchMarner]

Wrath-je

Ugh... Rathje had 491 career PIMs, just short of 500.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Corey "Worm" Perry...

3%, eh? I guess others also figured he might not be a popular pick since he wasn't with MTL that long.

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 656 - 8/9:

104 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Cross my heart, hope to Dykhuis

Ugh, 300 goals and assists feels like a lot, but I actually had a lot of good options for each of these!

Not including Chris Drury, though, apparently! Completely forgot his career was so short!

Puckdoku Game 657 - 8/9:

103 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Monster Gamache

Time to do the goalie dance!

Was aiming for late 90s/early 00s goalies, as you always should if it's a stat category, but sure enough the Caps don't have very many options there (mostly the Kolzig show), so I picked Bill Ranford, who has shutouts in almost every season he played, except for the 2 he spent in Washington. Go figure. He even got 1 in Tampa!

Puckdoku Game 658 - 8/9:

102 Uniqueness

Spoiler: "He's a player who does nothing... we'll call him Langfeld"

Barf. Killer combos here, the worst of which is OTT/CAR. I thought Jocelyn Lemieux played for the Sens, but I was again getting myself confused because of that old joke about how the early Sens should have been fine since they had so many star players like Hull (Jody), Turgeon (Sylvain), Bourque (Phil), etc... I thought Lemieux (Jocelyn) might have been in there...

 

[GlitchMarner]

I made a Worm reference the other day; now it's time for Scotty 2 Hotty!

Ugh... I underestimated the number of NHL games played by

Spoiler

Kyle Calder

and

Spoiler

Mike Richards

frustratingly played 749 NHL games!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

0 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Janney Pack

Too bad Janney was never a Ranger...

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 659 - 8/9:

101 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Pihlman me softly

Got the order wrong on Korolyuk!!! He played for SJ, traded to NJ as a cap dumpbut never played for them, not the other way around!

Also, almost picked Blandisi, but then hesitated because I thought I was just confusing him with Bennett... nope! Would have been a much better pick!

 

[GlitchMarner]

Started from the bottom; now we here!

Puckdoku Game 660 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: The Vrb

Little surprised on Carnback's %

 

[Brodeur]

Murray Baron happened to come up in a different thread. I almost used Turner Stevenson for Montreal+100 goals. He was in the league for 10+ years but I seemed to remember a lot of single digit goal seasons. After settling on Sundstrom, I looked it up and Stevenson only had 75.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Kerfoot on the pedal...

Puckdoku Game 661 - 7/9:

201 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Tancill the parade

1. Thought Gavey would work, he played for the '99 Stars, but not enough games, and 0 playoff games...

2. Got Jon Klemm (of Cranbrook, BC and the WHL) confused with Ken Klee (Indianapolis, and indeed played college) - that's confusing, both of them played for COL!!!

Also, looove how every single member of the '94 Rangers, except Karpovstev, Kocur and Lidster (somehow) are >1%. Gotta make sure the pre-'40s trivia people get their day, I guess?
