![]() ![]() The first is the journeyman who got a cup of coffee for the Wild and another team, never to be heard from again. As you'll see through this exercise, there are two categories of player we can use. Have a better Sicko Pick, Wild fans? Leave them in the comments. Also a goal here: No repeats, as you can't repeat answers in Puckdoku. I'm making my picks (going off the top of my head) for a player to fill every potential Puckdoku answer involving the Wild where I'd be most confident about them being under the 10% threshold for correct guesses. In fact, I'm so excited that I can't wait. As bad as my grid was, I can at least hang my hat on Brian Bellows getting 0.8% of the correct guesses.Ī day I'm excited for is whenever the Minnesota Wild make their first appearance, as I've spent a decade covering them in-depth and hope to bust out the real Sicko stuff. But getting Peter Bondra, or Alex Semin, or a dude like Dennis Maruk, who no one's heard of? That's the stuff right there. Still, you're not flexing your Guy Remembering muscles much. Picking Alex Ovechkin as a 40-goal scorer for the Washington Capitals does the job just fine, as filling out the grid is always better than getting one wrong. But the game within the game is to get as many Sicko picks as possible. The game is to get a perfect 9-for-9 grid. I really should know the Dallas Stars better than I do, apparently. It's probably just easier to get visually, so here's my (pretty not-good attempt) at yesterday's grid. You get nine guesses for the nine squares, so zero margin for error. As a player, your job is to guess a player who meets the intersection of the two. If you're unfamiliar with the game, every day sees a nine-square grid where the rows and columns represent a certain team or statistical achievement. Spun off from the baseball game Immaculate Grid, Puckdoku combines two great sports tropes: David Roth of Defector's " Let's Remember Some Guys," and "Inside the NBA's" " Who He Play For?" ![]() My newest obsession, and probably yours, too, is Puckdoku. ![]()
