That's elite. If there's a ranking you must be right at the top lol

I had to count out Roberts' teams by hand to make sure he fit the bill, lol. I knew he missed years due to his neck injury but given that he played from the mid 80s to the late 2000s I assumed he must've hit 1000 regardless. I didn't count out Thomas's teams, I wasn't even sure if he played for 5 teams. I just knew he played a long time and I don't associate him with one team (and remembered him being on Detroit in NHL 06!) so I just took a hope and a prayer he fit, lol.

Having played a lot of EA NHL games definitely helps here. There are some players I probably wouldn't even remember without those games. Some nice trips down memory lane as well.

That's one of a handful of teams across both games that can show up and I just shake my head. I remember maybe 20 Rays all-time, and have half a guess, at best, where half of them played other than Tampa.

Got 1/3 (Rays/Yanks).

I usually go empty on the Rays or Diamondbacks...

Lol that's true. Too bad you can pick a player only once. Would be hilarious to have a grid with one player 9 times.

I just try to go 9/9 and don't care about uniqueness, but I didn't use him in any of the 9 squares today.

I did get a 0.2% today in the bottom right square, though.

I'm of the opinion that if and only if a player is the correct answer for all 9 squares, you should be able to use them multiple times. I'd love to see that override baked in. Could have used that a few days ago on JJ Daigneault.

I could only think of Boogaard. Well, first I picked Stewart, but it turns out he just missed out on getting 100 with the Wild, so this was second attempt. I could have gone more obscure with Yashin, but I enjoyed using both him and Daigle together for some stupid reason. I really struggle with Western teams and remembering who played for who, hence Gaborik.

The rare opportunity to use childhood teammate, Kip Brennan, in today's Puckdoku. Was hoping enough people played so he'd come in at 0.0%. Currently sitting at 0.1%...

I'm disappointed I didn't think of him. I usually try to think of Bears players first for obscurity points Completely forgot he played for the Isles. I'm guessing you're aware of the incident with a fan in Manchester that got him suspended for the rest of the playoffs in 2007?

With that said, I'm more disappointed I didn't think of all-time great bust McIlrath (the current captain ffs) for Det/Fla yesterday.

I have a tendency to look at them this way: goons, secondary trade pieces, 80's, 90's, early 00's guys.

Had no idea about his suspension with Hershey; just looked it up and it came across as very Tie Domi/Flyers-ish.

I never did follow his exploits outside of the NHL, though.

Haven't seen him since the early 90s; we were never friends, but played some of the same sports. He was an excellent athlete, but probably would have been down the list of guys I grew up with to play the most games in the NHL...

Filled it out at home, so I don't have access to it, but 8/9 today. The Atlantapeg Threts continue to be a giant black hole in my brain where facts should be, and all 7 or 8 potential WPG/COL names I came up with were wrong.

Hayes - Oduya - Clarke
XXXX - Lemieux - P. Stastny
