Remember Some Guys

One hand-picked skater a day — guess them from their career value curve. Three clues are yours to unlock, but every reveal you spend cuts what you can bank. Missed a day? Page back through the archive and play it — a gap in your streak is repairable.

How to play

The chart is one skater's GAA/60 — the accounting sum of their 5v5 value (chances created + chances suppressed + finishing) in goals above league average per 60, traced season by season. It's the exact curve on every career page, with the years filed off: the x-axis reads S1, S2… until you spend the timeline clue. The grey bands are the league that same season (middle-half brighter, 5th–95th faint, dashed median), so where a point sits is its percentile — the ordinal above each marker makes it exact.

You start at 5 🚨. Tap a redaction bar to reveal its clue — position, the career span / timeline, or team history — each at the cost printed on the bar. Name the skater to bank whatever's left. A new hand-picked skater lands every day, and every past day stays in the archive to play — but one run each: a day you've finished reopens at the score you banked, which is what makes the streak worth anything. Your record lives in this browser and nowhere else.

Where the value came from

The same curve, now broken into its parts. The stack is diverging: chances created (Off), chances suppressed (Def) and finishing above expectation (Fin) fill up from the dotted zero line when they help and down when they hurt, and the orange line is exactly their sum. Click a name in the legend to drop it out. The game hides these on purpose — a curve that's nearly all Def would have told you the position.
