Powershift posted:Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettty pretty convenient to only bring it up once the Blues finally lose I picked Blues in 7 in part as a hometown pick, but yeah I Donno if we are gonna get to 7 games. Blues defense was already bad and they’re missing 2-3 of those 6 bad players and don’t have players of even that quality to replace them with.

drat I got my first red X. I thought Colorado would win pretty easily so I picked them in 5 but I never predict sweeps because hockey is so random.

Eric the Mauve posted:I can't keep this buried deep down inside my soul any longer........ there are actually two Rs in "Hurricanes". Woah, when did this become the spelling bee thread. We're at 259 goals scored already with between 7 and 14 games left. If all 7 leaders win their next game, we will match last year's game total. The last year with 7 6+ game series was 2010 When Detroit, Montreal, Vancouver, Chicago, San Jose, and Philadelphia all won their playoff series. Buffalo, New Jersey, Ottawa, and Phoenix were knocked out in the first round. The last time Toronto won a playoff round in fewer than 7 games was April 2001. Since then, the Ipod was both launched, and discontinued. e: lot of missing guesses here, so for points i'll do 3 for dead on, 2 for closest, 1 for the two above and below the closest. Blue arrow is the current count. Powershift fucked around with this message at 19:49 on May 12, 2022 |

well I was right about the Stars taking their series to game 7 As bad as that team is, you can always count on them to scam a few games out of much better teams lol.. If it was Colorado they'd also be going to game 7 on the weekend

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:e: never mind lol I figured but you might still get a point out of it. There are enough missing guesses in that category, i think I'll score it 3 points for dead on, 2 for closest, 1 each for second closest. The hail mary is also missing a bunch of guesses and most of them are either Avs in 6, so maybe 5 points for dead on? I don't want to give too much weight to something people missed. My idea for points: Round 1: 4-3-2-1 for 32 possible points Round 2: 6-5-4-3 for 24 possible points Round 3: 8-7-6-5 for 16 possible points Final: 10-9-8-7 for 10 possible points. It weights the rounds a little better without putting too many into a single series or penalizing early success. Any objections/suggestions? e: some fun for our players who haven't got a team wrong yet. The teams they picked, bold is a game 7 pick. The 5 year old has 4 X-less predictions but is currently without a point goldrush, GuavaMoment Mind_Taker, and The Black Stones have three X-less predictions 11 people are fully Xed, but not pointless fisting by many's panthers in 4 guess is missing from the Red Xs but has been correctly placed and accounted for in the spreadsheet.

I saw this: Powershift posted:I'll do the red Xs again but if you can include in your posts formatting In the same order like my prediction here it would be helpful. And add a goals scored in the first round for 5 points a hail mary prediction worth 25 points for cup winning team in X games. and of course didn't read the first text about "in the first round" and I was thinking "drat, this is easy money. there's like 6-7 goals per game, there's gonna be around 80 games probably this playoffs, i'll go with like 540. everyone else must think we're going back to the dead puck era!!"

I definitely thought we were going straight back to the dead puck era as the rulebook gets set on fire for the playoffs as per usual. I'm shocked and delighted this has not been the case this year (yet)

Two more green boxen for Cocaine Bear, although their last 2 for the round Still without a zero, unless the Penguins and Starts both win, somebody will go 8 for 8 Current standings Powershift fucked around with this message at 06:51 on May 15, 2022 |

My entire methodology was the impossibility of an Oilers flames matchup, so I'm guaranteeing a stars win in 7, please update my prediction tyvm. I didn't state it, but I picked lightning in 7 because it would be the most hilarious result, and the hockey gods came through.

I'm holding their glasses and whistles hostage unless they give me red X points. Also, despite guessing 6 correct series winners so far, i'm still losing to 11 people who haven't. I also have only 5 potential points left to score e: Only clean ayers act can surpass Cocaine Bear if both Penguins and Flames win Koopa Kid and Darude can tie him if both the Penguins and Flames win Powershift fucked around with this message at 06:25 on May 15, 2022 |
