| Wednesday Picks Posted: 5/15/2006 9:33:23 PM | San Jose will live for a game 7...i want oilers to win...but i'm feeling a strong performance here. Cheechoo 2 goals as well
San Jose 4 - Edmonton 2
i will still cheer for the Oilers tho! | |
|
| Wednesday Picks Posted: 5/16/2006 2:54:21 PM | San Jose 5 Edmonton 3
I get the feeling of a forced game seven, it really doesn't matter who wins because the Ducks will have a huge advantage with over a full week of rest. | |

| A Tale of Two Cities Posted: 5/16/2006 3:34:55 PM | "This goes out to all you Easterners who wonder about this so-called Battle of Alberta and what the deal is.
Calgary's Red Mile (17 Avenue SW): Police outnumber fans 5 to 1 (it seems). Full riot gear on hand ready to tackle any unruly fans. Get the tear gas ready, some delinquent Flames fan dares to wave a large flag! $50 fine! What? Some guy honking his horn? $250 fine!!! Those chickies better not bare their breasts or more fines will follow! This **stard is yelling too loud! $100 fine! Many jaywalkers are ticketed and fined! Oh the humanity! Mayor Dave Bronconnier pleads with Calgarians - please respect the cops! He admits to being so wrong in telling Calgarians they could head down to the Red Mile to enjoy the celebrations. Head home, stay home and lock your docks! There are jaywalkers out there!
Edmonton's Blue Mile (Whyte Avenue): 49 people arrested and 10 people are stabbed. Numerous assaults have taken place. Rowdy fans smash bus shelter windows and litter the street with beer bottles and broken glass. 4 criminal charges are laid - one for assault, one for impaired driving, and 2 for mischief. The street reaks of urine as rowdies urinate (and defacate) as they see fit. Mayor Stephen Mandel tells fans, "Try not to be such a yahoo"."
are you serious?????
thats insane, should have seen london when canada won the 2002 olympics...same stuff, minus the fine and the cops, hell the cops were celebrating too.
when was waving a flag or honking a horn a fine????
that is unreal | |

| A Tale of Two Cities Posted: 5/16/2006 11:08:41 PM | Heya All!
Venomous: Round 2 results have not yet been tabulated. Those will be tabulated after the Edm/SJ series is over. As to how points are awarded, you get 5 points for guessing the correct teams for round predictions, another 5 for correctly guessing the number of games played (but only if you guessed the right team). For individual games, you get 1 point if you guessed the correct team to win, another 5 if you called the correct score, and if the above criteria are met, you get 1 additional point if OT is called correctly (for more on OT rules, see previous posts! LOL!). Once posted, you cannot amend round predictions. Individual games may be amended as long as the game has not yet started. I think it seems like you haven't moved much on the standings because you missed a lot of individual games whereas some of us made formal guesses at each and every game played. Hope this helps!
Smack: Yes, I agree. Edmontonians are a bunch of copycats looking to outdo our Red Mile with their pathetic display of dumbness! On the other hand, I do believe the cops and the city here in Calgary over-reacted. Yes, in 2004, we celebrated here right up to the finals Game 7 with no major incidents and this year, we get fined for waving flags and honking horns? Bloody ridiculous!
GT99: Unfortunately, I am serious! Cops ticketed fans for waving large flags, yelling too loud, honking their horns, and jaywalking! Us Calgarians are SO dangerous!!!!
My prediction for tomorrow:
Edmonton will end the sucking Sharks season 6-3 AGAIN!!!! | |

| Drum Roll Puleeze!!!!! Posted: 5/17/2006 8:01:39 PM | And the verdict is: Edmonton Oilers 2 San Jose Sucks 0!
And boy did they suck! I haven't seen a worse power play situation EVER!
Again, it was the ladies who called it! Well, 3 ladies and one dude!
leafslady, Smilnlady, and Riot along with Justin Case Sr (if only they got one of those empty netters!)
Wowsers! A 3-way tie for first place! Hey Chief! I thought you were quitting after NJ lost! LOL! Just kidding. You know I love to see ya around!
Anything can change after Round 2 results get tabulated. Round 2 results coming right up!
Brian: 61 points Chief: 61 points Riot: 61 points leafslady: 56 points Q: 54 points Smilnlady: 48 points Smack: 41 points wantsumfun: 40 points Venomous: 36 points HungryEyes: 35 points gr8_1: 25 points Greg: 20 points TimDogg: 10 points Mattboy: 7 points Blueeyeddvl: 6 points Phillyboy: 5 points mysterious5: 2 points lady_bugg: 2 points bdon1010: 1 point munch 27: 1 point Budchick: 1 point epic1231: 1 point kanadaa: 1 point Justin Case Sr: 1 point | |

| Round 2 Results Posted: 5/17/2006 9:00:16 PM | Here are the results for everyone who made formal predictions for Round 2 games. Funny how most of us bombed on the NJ series! Remember, 5 points for correct team to win and an additional 5 points for correct number of games played (if you got the correct team).
Brian: Only one series correct: Ana/Col, 5 points
Chief: Two series correct: Ana/Col & Buff/Ott, 10 points
Q: Two series correct: Buff/Ott & Car/NJ (one of the few who got this one), 10 points
lady_bugg: One series guessed and it was correct: Edm/SJ, 5 points
Venomous: Two series correct: Ana/Col & Buff/Ott, 10 points
leafslady: 3 out of 4!!!! Only missed the NJ/Car series! 15 points
Simulation: Two series correct: Buff/Ott & Ana/Col, 10 points
Aquafish: Two series correct: Ana/Col & Edm/SJ, 10 points
Rezzyl: Sorry dude, 0 correct
Riot: Only 1 series correct: Buff/Ott, 5 points
blueeyeddvl: One series correct: Car/NJ, 5 points
wantsumfun: One series correct & correct number of games: Edm/SJ, 10 points, and if you switched some teams around, you would've kicked butt!
easy_going: Sorry dude, 0 correct
Smilnlady: 0 correct (I'm surprised!)
mysterious5: Sorry dude, 0 correct
Smack: Two series correct: Ana/Col & Buff/Ott, 10 points
kanadaa: One series correct & correct number of games: Edm/SJ, 10 points
So after two rounds of play, we stand at:
Chief: 71 points leafslady: 71 points Brian: 66 points Riot: 66 points Q: 64 points Smack: 51 points wantsumfun: 50 points Smilnlady: 48 points Venomous: 46 points HungryEyes: 35 points gr8_1: 25 points Greg: 20 points Blueeyeddvl: 11 points kanadaa: 11 points TimDogg: 10 points Simulation: 10 points Aquafish: 10 points Mattboy: 7 points lady_bugg: 7 points Phillyboy: 5 points mysterious5: 2 points bdon1010: 1 point munch 27: 1 point Budchick: 1 point epic1231: 1 point Justin Case Sr: 1 point
leafslady is on deck to win some major awards if she keeps this up!
I'm surprised at how badly we all performed in Round 2 overall (damn NJ!).
Round 3 begins now. Cast your wagers!
EAST: Carolina VS Buffalo WEST: Anaheim VS Edmonton
