<p>August is always a tough month for hockey fans. The start of the regular season is still a ways off yet a lot of the hype and excitement from free agency and the NHL Entry Draft has worn off. <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/canucks-transaction-month-august-2015">Historically, it&#8217;s been a very slow month of the year for the Canucks</a>, although they did buck that trend with the Pius Suter signing this year.</p>
<p>This year, hockey fans across the NHL have found a different way to entertain themselves during these long summer months. <a href="https://www.puckdoku.com">PuckDoku, the hockey quiz game,</a> has taken the league by storm. The official Puckdoku Twitter account now has more than 8000 followers and the game has spread quickly as users share their results on social media.</p>
<p>The way that the game works is that you&#8217;re presented with a 3 x 3 grid. Each column or row has a team, statistical feat, or characteristic assigned to it. You must pick players that match both categories in each of the nine boxes. You get nine shots to fill out the nine boxes. guess wrong, and you lose one of your shots, meaning that you can no longer fill out every box. You&#8217;ll also be given a score that displays how unique your submission was. Users like competing against each other to see who can get the rarest scores.</p>
<p>The key to doing well in Puckdoku is to know lots of obscure players that played for a large number of teams. We&#8217;ve assembled a list of 20 players that played for a lot of teams across the NHL including the Canucks. Hopefully at least one of the players on this list will help you next time you&#8217;re stuck on a PuckDoku square.</p>
<h1><em><strong>Canucks PuckDoku MVPs</strong></em></h1>
<p>Here are the players that bounced around the league and can help you fill in those trick Puckdoku squares.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Mike Sillinger &#8211; 12 NHL teams</strong></em></h2>
<h3><strong><i>Detroit Red Wings, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Phoenix Coyotes, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, New York Islanders</i></strong></h3>
<p>Mike Sillinger has played for the most NHL teams of any player in history. That long list of NHL franchises, 12 to be exact, does include the Vancouver Canucks. If you&#8217;re ever lost for an answer, Sillinger is a good shout.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Michel Petit &#8211; 10 NHL teams</strong></em></h2>
<h3><strong><i>Vancouver Canucks, New York Rangers, Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Los Angeles Kings, Tampa Bay Lighting, Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, Phoenix Coyotes</i></strong></h3>
<p>Michel Petit might be the best Canucks Puckdoku option. The former Canucks 1982 first round pick played for a staggering 10 NHL teams over the course of his career.</p>
<p>Not only will Petit fit in a ton of the different square combinations, he also is not the most well-known player, usually resulting a strong rarity score.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Mathieu Schneider &#8211; 10 NHL teams</strong></em></h2>
<h3><strong><i>Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, Anaheim Ducks, Atlanta Thrashers, Vancouver Canucks, Phoenix Coyotes</i></strong></h3>
<p>Mathieu Schneider played an astonishing 21 seasons in the NHL. Over this long career, he did his fair share of bouncing around the league, ending his career after playing for a total of ten teams. There is unfortunately quite a bit of overlap between the teams that Schneider and Petit played for.</p>
<h2><em><strong>J.J Daigneault &#8211; 10 NHL teams</strong></em></h2>
<h3><strong><i>Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, New York Islanders, Nashville Predators, Phoenix Coyotes, Minnesota Wild</i></strong></h3>
<p>J.J. Daigneault is another former Canucks draft pick that made his way around the NHL. He also played for a total of 10 NHL teams, holding the record for the most ever until it was later broken by Mike Sillinger.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Jim Dowd &#8211; 10 NHL teams</strong></em></h2>
<h3><strong><i>New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks, New York Islanders, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers</i></strong></h3>
<p>Wrapping up our list of Canucks PuckDoku MVPs, Jim Dowd also played for a total of ten franchises in his career. That included a 38 game stint with the Vancouver Canucks in 1995-96.</p>
