| Tomorrow: 3 games on deck Posted: 5/10/2006 10:12:36 AM | Riot,you forgot to give me an additionnal point ,i did call yesterday's game in overtime.( look this contest is so close,i need my extra point ,LOL.).
Now for tonigth's game:
OTTAWA 3 BUFFALO 2 ( in overtime ) CAROLINA 1 NEW-JERSEY 4 SAN-JOSE 2 EDMONTON 3 ( in overtime)
Good luck everyone and GO HABS GO ...oups...( well for next year ) | |
|
| (look this contest is so close,i need my extra point,LOL.). Posted: 5/10/2006 12:14:28 PM | Well i'll agree with you there Brian that it's a close race for top spot which is showing only 7pts. differencial from 1st-4th. But c'mon,no freebee's should be given just cause earlier in round 1 Smilnlady got the Habs/Canes games correct which did go in overtime but she choose to dunno who will win in O.T. so if she could not get the point why................plus that would mean every1 who choose an O.T. prediction but with a no game correct prediction to go on top of,well,it would not be civilized at this point,i'm just saying this just cause it's totally evelavant{eventhough i may have got an O.T. correct but a no correct team in winning so}. I'd say nice try but no freebee's even if it's all in fun but.........................
Enjoy 2nite's action there Brian as well as every1 else!

| (look this contest is so close,i need my extra point,LOL.). Posted: 5/10/2006 2:19:45 PM | Lol...Q...i just ask,because in the first round ,Riot was giving a bonus point if you had choosen the rigth team ,and if you had predicted overtime...but the overtime bonus point was giving only if the team you had choosen was the winning team...so let se what Riot decides...have a good evening of hockey my friend  | |
|
| so let se what Riot decides... Posted: 5/10/2006 2:38:39 PM | Yes/true enough there my friend. Freebee or not a freebee,let the games be fun/enjoyable & may every1 get an xtra point for just being such great company on here{but that point i just thought of be added at the end of the final points predictions}.
Way to go Brian for possibly making it happen so we'll see what the lottery host decides i guess. Friends till the end/always there Brian along with every1 involved in here.  | |
|
| so let se what Riot decides... Posted: 5/10/2006 6:47:45 PM | | It's funny to see all of the early predictions that were made. I'm not making a prediction here, but is it just me or is that Buffalo Sabres announcer just annoying???? Calm down, dude..... sheesh. | |
|
| |
| so let se what Riot decides... Posted: 5/11/2006 1:33:51 AM | Oh boy! What a night! Seeing how San Jose played tonight, I'd liken them to the Calgary Flames on Game 7 versus the Ducks! Pathetic! Poor Toskala was hung out to dry by his teammates, who spent most of the game taking a collective nap! Now that my venting is out of the way, way to go Sabres! You rock! And then some!
OK, the issue of OT was never really addressed, hence, I thought there may be some confusion down the road. OT is only awarded 1 point if someone got the correct winning team AND the correct score IN ADDITION to calling OT. Call it a bonus for calling it bang on! If the incorrect team was picked or if the score was incorrect, OT doesn't get awarded. I hope this helps. Brian, I'm thinking after tonight's games, you're gonna be kicking some ASS anyway so who needs that one point!
Some of you really turned out to be psychics on tonight's games and hence I suggest going out and buying a Pro Line & a Point Spread for tomorrow's games!
OK:
Brian: Isn't this the second time you've almost got yourself an extra 6 or 7 points had you reversed the scores (re:the Ott/Buff game)? Well, you did get the SJ/Edm game correct, with correct scores, and yes OT too (we won't be picky about it being 3OT - LOL!) so 1+5+1=7 points! Chief: Maybe it's about time you give up on New Jersey because they're bringing you down! LOL! Buff/Ott game correct AND correct scores plus Edm/SJ correct! 1+5+1=7 points!
Smilnlady: I'm thinking if you joined us at the very start, you'd probably be kicking our collective asses! You should also buy a Pro Line & a Point Spread as you'd be rich! Buff/Ott game correct AND correct scores PLUS Carolina/NJ game correct plus correct scores! Amazing! 1+5+1+5=12 points!!!!!
leafslady: You would be rich also had you bought a Pro Line! 3 out of 3 games correct PLUS correct scores for Carolina/NJ game!!! 1+1+1+5=8 points
Smack: Buff/Ott game correct AND correct score! 1+5=6 points!
Venomous: Called OT on the wrong game! Well, still got the Carolina/NJ game correct PLUS correct score as well as the SJ/Edm game. 1+5+1=7 points!
Q: I think me, you and blueeyeddvl are the only ones who didn't get correct scores tonight! *sigh* However, you did get the Edm/SJ game: 1 point
Riot: Just my Sabres! 1 point
Blueeyeddvl: Sorry bud, luck's not on your side!
Brian: 60 points Riot: 57 points Chief: 56 points Q: 52 points wantsumfun: 40 points leafslady: 39 points Smack: 38 points Smilnlady: 36 points HungryEyes: 35 points Venomous: 34 points gr8_1: 25 points Greg: 20 points TimDogg: 10 points Mattboy: 7 points Phillyboy: 5 points Blueeyeddvl: 5 points bdon1010: 1 point munch 27: 1 point Budchick: 1 point epic1231: 1 point
So lot's of moving and shaking on our list here tonight thanks to some good calls by some of you!
Tomorrow on deck:
Ott/Buff Ana/Col
Good luck!

Buffalo 3 - Same old Sens 2 Quack Attack 3 - Ava Crap 0 | |
|
| Thursday Predictions Posted: 5/11/2006 11:29:40 AM | sabers 2 sens 1 the duckers 3 aves 1
and on topic of overtime. the person calls ot and it goes to double or triple ot does that count? cause really it should not. they are just calling for ot. there should be alot extra for a double or triple ot call. | |
|
| and on topic of overtime. Posted: 5/11/2006 12:01:08 PM | my thought xactly there "smack". a person calling the "predictions" should be awarded accordingly even if it goes to overtime--calling it correctly makes it a "hockey prediction"--& great point for xtra's for calling correctly "double/triple ot"=i.e.=games called correctly that goes in 10 overtimes/awarded 10 points. so in all said and which has been done in general=FREEBEE after-all!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll be taking 1 of my 3 timeouts here until this FREEBEE goes under review. so.............i'll be in the booth & in timeout mode until a call is......................... for making a great point smackemhard & for not being picky 
Good Luck & enjoy 2nite's action!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
|
| and on topic of overtime. Posted: 5/11/2006 2:29:36 PM | Hey,ok, i taugth that Riot was giving a extra point if you'd call a winner and call the overtime ( regardless of the number o've period)...and why not,it's still a prediction if you call that your pick will win in overtime!!!aniway,for tonigth's game :
OTTAWA 3 BUFFALO 4 ( no overtime ) NEW-JERSEY 3 CAROLINA 2 ( no overtime also,LOL)
Have fun everyone  | |
|
| and why not,it's still a prediction Posted: 5/11/2006 2:43:08 PM | Whatever "Old Yeller". (no overtime/also,LOL) to a oldtimer sounds appropriate to say but it's still whatever "Old Yeller"/"FREEBEE-BOY". 
Overtime Thought of Predictions: Young Guns=2 Old Yeller=0 | |
|
| the person calls ot and it goes to double or triple ot does that count? cause really it should not. Posted: 5/11/2006 3:15:56 PM | 100% "smack". so for my 2nite's predictions will go to this topic smack has come up with which i agree.
Final Score on topic at hand: Young Guns=2 "Old Yeller"=0
Regardless of what the host puts up for points in regards to this "hockey playoff predictions": Smack & I/Q know we got this score 100% correct. Well done Smack. for the Young Guns & for the "Old Yeller" and still for the not so pickiness
Enjoy the game we won here Smack & enjoy the games on tap 2nite. May the Young Guns prevail & be heard. What you think about this Smack:Your call is heard here.

| Thursday Results Posted: 5/11/2006 11:57:11 PM | Who would've seen this coming? Ducks sweeping in 4? I don't think anyone saw that one but I'll have to have a look and see.
OK, back to the OT issue, which can yes, get quite complicated. To reiterate, you only get 1 point for OT if you 1) get the correct team AND 2) you get the correct score. If you get both and it went to 3 OT (like last night's Edm/SJ game), and you only guessed OT (like Brian did), you get 1 extra point because technicially, 1 OT had been played (before moving on to 2 OT and 3 OT). If you guessed 3 OT, yes, Q and Smack, you would get 3 additional points. So if it went to 10 OT, and you guessed 10 OT, you would get 10 extra points! Now, on the flipside, if you guessed 3 OT and it only went to 1 OT, you would NOT get a point because the 3rd OT did not get played and hence, you were wrong. Hope this helps!
Now maybe I'll get some input here as to late round predictions. Most of you had made your Round 2 predictions before the deadline that I posted but some people joining late also made some predictions. It was still early on in the round but I just wanted to get some feedback as to whether or not they should be included (as I'm sure there might be some debate about that).
Now onto the day's business:
I don't think a single person got the Buff/Ott game (wait, except for Blueeyeddvl)! Where's all the Sens fans?
leafslady: Dead on yet again with the Ana/Col game. 1+5=6 points
Smack: Very close with the scores. Ana/Col 1 point
Chief: Ana/Col game 1 point
Smilnlady: Ana/Col game 1 point
Blueeyeddvl: Ott/Buff game correct, 1 point
Riot: Ana/Col, 1 point (I've been kinda off my game with the scores as of late)
Brian: You didn't wager a guess on the Ana/Col game?
Brian: 60 points Riot: 58 points Chief: 57 points Q: 52 points leafslady: 45 points wantsumfun: 40 points Smack: 39 points Smilnlady: 37 points HungryEyes: 35 points Venomous: 34 points gr8_1: 25 points Greg: 20 points TimDogg: 10 points Mattboy: 7 points Blueeyeddvl: 6 points Phillyboy: 5 points bdon1010: 1 point munch 27: 1 point Budchick: 1 point epic1231: 1 point
Tomorrow, one game on deck: SJ/Edm
Good luck to all!
