Remembering some guys through Puckdoku

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Been crazy busy last few days, so allow me to catch y'all up on all my terrible games not yet posted

Puckdoku Game 673 - 6/9:

302 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Dude, where's my Carr?

Lame. I don't know Habs captains very well, thought Leclair might have been one, but no. Also, Momesso didn't play enough games for NYR, and Don Lever was my pick for captain/100 PIMS, and his career high was............ 93

Puckdoku Game 674 - 7/9:

201 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Terror Lake Salutes Hannibal Crossing the Dalpe

NOT THE GOALIES!!!!! ALL OVER MY EYES!!!!!

You'd think 20+ wins would be the perfect category for some solid goalie pulls, but noooooooooo. Josh Harding only got 18 that one year, and Lord Byron only 14 (played for some very stinky Kings teams, then they briefly got good once he left for Boston )

Puckdoku Game 675 - 6/9:

321 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Another Brick in the Woll

OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!

Making me remember stuff from the most recent playoff years is the worst, man, my memory just can't hold on to it...

On the plus side, A+++ for giving Nikolai Kovalenko Andrei's picture!

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

12 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Lang in there!

Ok, I call BS on some of those "Cup Winners", some of them didn't play any playoff games nor did they hit 41 in the regular season!

If I knew they would count just from "was on the team during a Cup year", I would definitely have picked Pederson, Boldirev, or McEachern!!

Puckdoku Game 676 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Kirk was a jerk

Aw come on, Kirk McLean, why YOU gotta do me like this?

Also: GOALIES

 

[GlitchMarner]

Burned...

Got a wrong answer on the CGY/.890 save percentage square initially. I definitely wasn't confident he was s correct answer but tried

Spoiler

Rick Wamsley

as an answer.

Puckdoku Game 677 - 8/9:

100 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Davison, you are more full of ^&*% than a country goose!

Rob Davison - 6 NHL seasons, 5 of them with the mid-2000s Sharks............... 6 career playoff games

 

[Brodeur]

Bah, I misunderstood the bottom left square. Thought it had to be captain of a Stanley Cup team rather than captain at some point and played on a Stanley Cup winning squad not necessarily as captain.

 

[JoVel]

I just want to say thanks to everyone for keeping this thread alive, you guys remind me to play this every now and then.

What I liked about today's game is that it didn't prevent you from picking a goalie for two of the "under 5 playoff goals" slots.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Matt Sta-win!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

David Emma was one recently.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

My best work yet

 

[GlitchMarner]

Buzz Ledyard...

Ugh... for some reason, I had this feeling that

Spoiler

Chris McAlpine

played for CGY.

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 678 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Make Garpenlov, not war

 

[Hockey Outsider]

After many weeks of mediocre results I finally had a good one (1 uniqueness):

Spoiler: spoiler

 

[GlitchMarner]

Boyling Up Some Dominance...

Puckdoku Game 679 - 9/9:

0 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Hill to Schneid on

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 680 - 7/9:

223 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Nemeth-is

Wtf is this BS?

If you're going to force us to pick Swedish Dmen, at least make it for franchises that frequently employ Swedish Dmen! That is, I think, literally the first time I've picked the most popular player for a square (Patrik Nemeth!!!! Patrik freakin Nemeth!!!!!!)

Also - Johan Garpenlov doesn't count even though he was born in Sweden (I guess that's fair if he actually is Russian but just happened to be Swedish-born ), and I whiffed a second time by accidentally picking Steve Nemeth, who is definitely a real person, who played *checks notes* 12 NHL games, all with the Rangers, and is Canadian

Puckdoku Pyramid - 6/6:

13 Uniqueness
No Lifelines Used

Spoiler: Kozlov and Robots

Awww, I forgot about Joe Juneau!

So many surprising names that don't qualify because of how harsh 100+ playoff games is - Hawerchuk, Peca, Housley, Rene Robert, John Van Boxmeer, even Gilbert Perreault was 10 games short!

Also - 100+ playoff games + Buffalo? The young'uns don't have a hope in hell!

 

[GlitchMarner]

Puckdoku Game 680 - 7/9:

223 Uniqueness




Also - Johan Garpenlov doesn't count even though he was born in Sweden (I guess that's fair if he actually is Russian but just happened to be Swedish-born )...

The problem here is that Garpenlov was a winger...

Puckdoku Game 681 - 8/9:

107 Uniqueness

Spoiler: "Ha-ha! Hey, that hurts..."

Ooof, absolutely brutal combos here... CBJ is tough at the best of times, but maaan. I did forget a few guys, but nothing that would have made much of a difference

My miss was Adrian Aucoin, who only played 36 games for CBJ, sooooo woof.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Tomato, Tomato... Sergio, Sergei... Jeff, Geoff

Puckdoku Game 683 - 9/9:

1 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Whiskey in the Tjar

 

[GlitchMarner]

Finnished...

This one was brutal.

 

[Ivan eht Demidov]

Puckdoku Game 684 - 9/9:

6 Uniqueness

Spoiler: Ortios and Milk

Agreed, pretty brutal... some of those lists of Team Finland guys are pretty short...

This is also probably the greatest example of how corrupted Puckdoku has gotten by people (raises hand) wanting to get low scores specifically... you can't tell me that all 26 of you (raises hand) who picked Chris Gibson for NYI/Finland didn't do that specifically because it's deep trivia that he, with that name, is Finnish
