OT: Puckdoku/Immaculate Grid/etc

[Strawberry Fields]

I've seen this game mentioned in the miscellaneous thread and have posted about it myself. And now I've become addicted. So let's devote a little thread to it and other similar sports games like Immaculate Grid while they're still relevant.

My grid for the day:

It took me ages to think of someone for STL/ANA who wasn't Pronger, Kariya or McDonald (who I figured were the "obvious" choices).

This was by far my best uniqueness score.

Stupidly punched in Damon Severson today, temporarily forgetting that he hasn't played a game for his new team yet.

Did get a long shot, though. Don't know why I remember that

Spoiler

Rick Tabaracci

played for the Pens because he only played in one game. I wonder if it's a memory from a trading card...

The 50 assist column and my inability to think of anyone but Shelley for SJ/CBJ killed my score. Apparently there really aren't that many overlapping options for those two teams.

Tried to go as obscure as humanly possible for the rest because I couldn't for the life of me think of anyone definitively besides Matthews for the bottom right (thought Tavares might fit but couldn't remember 100%) and I knew it was gonna drop my score

I'm generally pretty terrible at this, but I'm happy with my efforts today, even if I left quite a bit of meat on the bone with a couple of the picks.

My final guess

Spoiler: No peeking

(Gagne)

I wasn't certain he played there but for some reason has memories of him ending his career there so I took the shot and scored.

Sundin for Toronto completely slipped my mind. My brain assumed he was a consistent 30-50-80 type guy.

I almost picked Kessel before I thought of Sundin. But that would've been a mistake.

 

[DancingPanther]

*I GOT ONE!!! FIRST ONE EVER

*Had to Google to make sure the player got ROY and he did. I didn't eliminate a guess using Google. So I'm counting it!! My uniqueness was 247 lol

No way I'm going 2/2 though. That stars column? I'm toast

My best so far.

Ari/Vgk SCREWED me. I couldn't for the life of me think of ANYONE but

Spoiler

Hill or Kessel

. And I knew both would be common picks.

I'm sure if I posted my results on the main board I'd get accused of "cHeAtiNg" for my Rags/Caps pick. In fact, my being a Bears fan (and having Caps knowledge by extension) was responsible for four of my picks today

Funny enough, Cousins was the first one that came to mind because we traded him to Arizona and I distinctly remember him in a Vegas jersey.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

My thought process is basically, try and remember what the team's roster looked like in NHL 06 (particularly the bottom of their roster) and think of where else those guys played, lol. That's why most of my picks tend to be mid-late 2000s players, because that's who I think of first (plus the current players are obviously more common answers). Beyond that I try to think of depth players and tweeners, so much so that Eichel quite literally NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND for Buffalo and Vegas

Spoiler

Turns out those were the only three options anyway so there wasn't much else to pick from

I tried for the life of me to remember who Vegas took from Arizona in the expansion draft. I looked it up after. It was Teemu Pulkkinen. He never played a game for Vegas so he wouldn't have counted anyway.

Not so hot, because Kessel and some other brain cramps, but I got to use former league record-holder for the most number of teams played for (and former Flyer) Michel Petit for Edmonton / Arizona. He was picked by 0.0%.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Man, I really had beginner's luck with Immaculate Grid. 9/9 on my first try and barely get 7 at most now.

I see there is a football grid now, too...

Had I gone with my gut on Bertuzzi (second guessed myself because of Tyler) before incorrectly guessing Sergio Momesso, I would have been 9/9. Also thought of Bob Essensa, which would have been 0.5%, but wasn't positive he played in Vancouver. Even with Bertuzzi, this is by far my best uniqueness score.

Rather than pasting a photo, my grid:
Bertuzzi - Sbisa - Linden
Hagg - R. Niedermayer - Giroux
Coffey - Pronger - Sillinger

Pleased to have six former Flyers on here, too.

Giroux being a Panther never seems to stick in my mind.
