Mike_V posted:I don't get why people think Minnesota is more of a lock than Ottawa. They're both 7s playing 2s and made the playoffs because their goalies stood on their heads for the last 30-40 games or w/e. I doubt there's any real thought put into these other than "my fave team of the matchup goes farther." Seriously, predictions don't need to be based on hard evidence.

With the exception of Anaheim, I got every single team in the west wrong. OK let's do round two over I guess. TBL vs MTL - MTL in 7 WAS vs NYR - NYR in 6 MIN vs CHI - MIN in 5 upset special?? ANA vs CAL - ANA in 6 --- Let's see just how bad this is going to get: MTL vs NYR - MTL in 6 homer pick ANA vs MIN - ANA in 5 --- MTL vs ANA - MTL in 7 Carey Price ascends to heaven directly following the cup presentation ... that MTL in 7 is total homer though, they've been poo poo against the west so it's VERY optimistic on my part

7/8, only missed the Sens, and got Rangers, Caps, and Hawks down to the game. Original picks: TBL over NYR over WSH in 6 MIN over CHI in 7 ANA over CGY in 6 I guess change OTT to MTL and I'll still take the Lightning but in 7

I got just over half my picks right from Round 1. Don't put money on my choices. (I did get STL-MIN down to the game though, so you're welcome Wild Argument Stadium) Super homer picks incoming Round 2 MTL-TBL, MTL in 7 NYR-WSH, NYR in 6 CHI-MIN, MIN in 7 ANA-CGY, ANA in 5 Round 3 NYR-MTL, MTL in 7 ANA-MIN, ANA in 6 Final ANA-MTL, MTL in 7

 I'm okay with these results. 5/8 with 3 series games correctly predicted. Just wish I went with my initial thought of Anaheim winning instead of Winnipeg. Conference Semi-Finals: East: TB beats MTL in 6 NYR beats WSH in 7 West: MIN beats CHI in 6 ANA beats CGY in 4 e: Round 2 Bonus Predictions: TB/MTL - How many more goals will Tyler Johnson score over Stamkos? 4 NYR/WSH - How many PP goals will Ovie score in the NYR/WAS series? 3 CHI/MIN - What will Devan Dubnyk's SV% be in the CHI/MIN series? 0.942 ANA/CGY - How many gently caress COREY PERRY penalties where there be in the ANA/CGY series? 1 Kilza fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Round 1... Tampa over Detroit in 4 New York over Pittsburgh in 5 Chicago over Nashville in 6 Vancouver over Calgary in 7 Minnesota over St. Louis in 5 Ottawa over Montreal in 6 Washington over NYI in 6 ehhhh 6/8 with 2 correct series calls. In my work pool I changed to Washington in 7 for some reason. ....... Round 2 predicts: Montreal over Tampa Bay in 5 NY Rangers over Washington in 7 Chicago over Minnesota in 7 Anaheim over Calgary in 6 I felt ok about round 1, but I have no confidence in this set of predictions!

Let's go with a once again fairly random selection, with a mandatory bet against the Habs: Round 2: TBL vs MTL - TBL in 5 (the Bishop effect) WAS vs NYR - NYR in 7 MIN vs CHI - CHI in 6 ANA vs CAL - ANA in 6 Round 3: TBL vs NYR - TBL in 7 ANA vs CHI - ANA in 6 Finals: ANA vs TBL - TBL in 6

I'm figuring out some sort of point system to do a standings. Thinking 4 points to get a series completely correct, one point less for each game you are off. 1 point for bonus categories. Should incorrect guesses be negative points or just no points?

The bracket I run does: 1st Round Correct Team & Games == 15 pts + # of seed Correct Team == 10 pts + # of seed Wrong Team, Right games == 5 pts Wrong Team, Wrong games == 0 pts Conference Semis Correct Team & Games == 25 pts + # of seed Correct Team == 15 pts + # of seed Wrong Team, Right games == 5 pts Wrong Team, Wrong games == 0 pts Conference Finals Correct Team & Games == 35 pts + # of seed Correct Team == 20 pts + # of seed Wrong Team, Right games == 5 pts Wrong Team, Wrong games == 0 pts Stanley Cup Finals Correct Team & Games == 50 pts + # of seed Correct Team == 25 pts + # of seed Wrong Team, Right games == 5 pts Wrong Team, Wrong games == 0 pts It gives slight bonus points for picking a lower seed. Obviously it worked better when the seeds went 1-8 and not just 1-4 twice.

I feel like wrong team, right games getting points isn't great because let's say you predicted a Winnipeg sweep, you'd be getting points for predicting the exact opposite happening.

It's modeled after the old NHL.com bracket, when you would pick round by round. It's a holdover from that.

I like the idea of awarding points based on the "distance" between players' guesses and the actual outcome. - If correct team picked: 4 points, minus 1 point for each game off - If wrong team picked: 0 points - The Bettman point: if the series goes to 7 games, and you picked the wrong team to win in 7, you get 1 point - Points awarded double every round

Ceyton posted:I like the idea of awarding points based on the "distance" between players' guesses and the actual outcome. I like the Bettman point idea. Okay I think I'm going to go with 5 points for a completely correct prediction, minus 1 for each game off, so you could get as low as 2 points for picking the correct team, so still getting more points for predicting the right team over someone getting a Bettman point. -1 point if you predict a sweep but your prediction gets swept since that warrants some sort of shaming. Otherwise, wrong team is 0 points. I'm not sure about doubling each round because people who didn't pick the correct teams in round 1 are not going to get any points anyway, but we have all of round 2 to waffle over that! I'll keep two separate standings, one with just the original submissions and one adding points from the new predictions after each round since not everyone is going to keep making submissions.
