| Hockey Playoff Predictions
Posted: 5/23/2008 11:46:10 PM | keybz, smiiten & namats, you haven't posted your Conn Smythe picks yet.
As a reminder people, please wager in even numbers ONLY please.
Deadline to make all posts (series, Conn Smythe, and Game #1) is 3pm MST tomorrow (I believe that is 6pm EST). For the longest time, I thought the time difference was 2 hours but my friend from NY told me it was 3. No matter, just make your pick before 3pm MST.
Remember, 20 points for correct team to win the Cup, another 20 for correct number of games. 10 points for Conn Smythe winner. You are in charge of your own destiny for individual games. EVEN WAGERS PLEASE! If your team wins, you get your bet. If you get the correct score also, you get in addition half your wager and we are not doing decimals. If you do decide to pick OT, please read my post about OT rules. Are you are ready? Let the finals begin! | |

| Hockey Playoff Predictions
Posted: 5/23/2008 11:52:16 PM | My pick:
Pitt in 6 (again, I cringe at being in the minority for this one but in previous years, I gained my edge in the finals by going against the grain)
Conn Smythe: Malkin (even though I have money on Datsyuk & Osgood)
Game #1: Pitt 3 Det 2 (wager 10 pts) | |
|
| BONUS
Posted: 5/23/2008 11:55:16 PM | | Bonus 10 points if cumulative score is 6 or over. (Funny how I didn't pick this way for Game #1 - all part of the master plan...) Bonus will be given only to those picking the correct team to win, regardless of the score they predicted (like before). | |

| Conn Smythe Winner
Posted: 5/24/2008 9:51:03 AM | Here goes...*squinting and ducking*...I think we are going to see some great hockey, if the officials let them play.
Wings win the Cup in 6
Zetterberg wins Con Smythe
Game 1
Wings 3 - Flightless Birds 2
I have a gut feeling I'm wrong about game 1, but I never change my answers...bad luck. Anyway with that said...
I will gamble with 12 points.
Another STINKIN' birthday party tonight.  At least I should be able to watch the whole game at this one. Problem is, all those interruptions from people who don't have a clue.  However, being the eternal optimist, I have to see it as another chance to rope in new meat...
Five days of no hockey. And no fighting in the forum...WOW, everyone feeling okay?  | |

| Conn Smythe Winner
Posted: 5/24/2008 11:06:23 AM | sorry riot...wasn't aware of the even numbers rule. 24 is fine
And incidentally, your friend in NY is wrong. MT and ET are only 2 hours apart.
As for Sidney Crosby whining, it isn't nearly as bad as most people think. He' representing his team as captain. Go to a game. You will notice the captain of your team does the same thing. It's just that the camera doesn't follow the likes of ethan moreau around, scrutinizing every single move he makes. (oh ... and I used EM as an example, not to offend, but purely because he is an oiler and I am an oiler fan)
Also, I cuckled at the comment tat he should just grow up. He will. Keep in mind ... he still can't legally drink in most State!
I still say Gretzky did it ecvery bit as much, if not more. | |

If your team wins, you get your bet.
I dont like Detroit but I think home ice will be a factor in this final series.
I say Detroit in 7
Looking forward to next season already.  | |

Posted: 5/24/2008 8:20:43 PM | What the hell was that?
Det 4 Pitt 0
I believe I'm in shit.
Good thing I missed this game (had to work) or I'd have lost a lung screaming at how pathetic the loser Penguins are.
I'd say that everyone (except maybe me & chiefs & the new guy Ranger) capitalized here. And Ranger's just playing for fun here so me and chiefs took the blow big time. Good call smack & korrosive! Here's where guts have all the glory!
smitten, you never wagered a bet! I can only assume you were playing for fun!
No one got the bonus (had to be cumulative 6 or over) and no one got half bets for correct score as no one got the correct score.
Rant post ends. Scores to follow. | |

how so i knew the wings were going to win i bet based on knowing.
The winner will be determined by whoever has the biggest balls! Some knowledge (and luck) is required. I generally know that I have shitty luck and chiefs generally has shitty luck too. | |

Posted: 5/24/2008 8:37:56 PM | if i cant bet my 1 point can it be removed round down i dont care i just think its kinda dumb i cant ever bet it although going all in again means if the pens win i have 1 point and nothing to do with it.
bold, dumb, lucky, smart, unlucky, massive balls, call it whatever you have to bet big to win big. hindsight will tell all. | |

Posted: 5/24/2008 8:58:31 PM | OK people, post your predictions before 3 pm MST tomorrow for Game #2.

Posted: 5/24/2008 9:01:04 PM | well i dont want to tie LeRomantique: 1 point
lady_bugg: 1 point
Ranger: -1 point
all or nothing for me this year. if i win then i did it only calling what 3 series right? i have the hatrick award won already. but i only play for the cup baby. korrosive and prairiep came to play. i was hoping to be on top by 30 at this point, but no they had to bet big. if i have to im going all in all 5 games this is going.
I'm gonna wait until tomorrow after I watch the highlights from today's game.
ok to sum it up the pens did ok the 1st then it was pure boys against men the rest of the way. both goalies made key saves, crybaby looks out of place and worse is malkin. both dont know what to do.
offence wins games defence wins championships. | |
