Generally us uncultured North American pigdogs list the higher number first in a score like that, unless specifically tied to the team itself (i.e. Pittsburg 3 vs New York 4 or something) and Stickarts especially is a prairie bumpkin who don't read no good

We will actually be going to our local watering hole to watch said game. JTs on 8th and McKercher. Look for a goof in a Habs jersey and at least one person at the table using a big foam drinking hand.

PM me or whatever if you decide to come out.

In honour of Verviticus' subtle protest, I present the Red Xs unsullied by any east cost bias:


Two sacrifices at the altar of Darryl Sutter. A decent trend towards LA.




:eyepop: Goliath over David in 5. 45/86 of you went for that, 76/86 for Chicago. It broke my screenshotting. And yes I know the numbers don't add up down below.



Blood has been shed on both sides here, but not a lot. The next game strikes more deeply. Also holy 50/50 split. And finally, I lost one of y'alls' tallies for this series. See if your name is missing! I will figure it out at the end if it hasn't been yet.


:siren: Montreal/Boston grudge match :siren: In keeping with super tight east picks, we were one drunk poster away from being tied.

I'm also thinking of implementing a Messier guarantee, where each poster gets One (1) voucher to use in any series that is tied (whether 3-3 or 0-0) to double or nothing their X in Y prediction. Unless I hear any objections, those of you who read this are free to post yours at any valid moment from here on out.

Well done sir.

I have since decided to modify it to a game by game guarantee. Like a real Messier challenge. +5 and a chance to make another guarantee later for every correct guarantee, -5 if you get it wrong, with no more lives. Does this make sense? I'm phone posting while attending to some preliterate yungins so I'm a touch distracted.

Mook, you're locked in under the old rules, though.
