dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) I say make it a set matchup. Pick the toughest matchup of the weekend on paper. Make it a "Matchup of the Weekend" title or something, worth the x2. Friday: New Jersey (x2) Colorado Buffalo Dallas Calgary Saturday: Boston Buffalo Pittsburgh New Jersey Ottawa Philadelphia Washington Nashville Minnesota Phoenix Vancouver Los Angeles Detroit Sunday: Carolina Dallas Chicago Edited January 8, 2010 by dropkickshanahans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Crap! I forgot to submit my picks. Luckily none of the games have ended (I'm pretty sure), so hopefully these will count. (note that I haven't looked at the scores as a means of picking these, so hopefully it's apparent in what I chose that I'm not using the fact that the games started to my advantage). Friday: Tampa Bay @ New Jersey Colorado @ Carolina Toronto @ Buffalo NY Islanders @ Dallas Columbus @ Calgary Saturday: NY Rangers @ Boston Colorado @ Buffalo Pittsburgh @ Toronto New Jersey @ Montreal Florida @ Ottawa Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia Washington @ Atlanta Anaheim @ Nashville Chicago @ Minnesota NY Islanders @ Phoenix Calgary @ Vancouver St Louis @ Los Angeles (x2) Detroit @ San Jose Sunday: Ottawa @ Carolina Dallas @ Columbus Anaheim @ Chicago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 any ideas about those who doubled up the NJ/TB game? scratch this week's doubles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) any ideas about those who doubled up the NJ/TB game? scratch this week's doubles? Haha how hilarious, we start the double up game and almost 50% choose this game and it's postponed. Very fortunate those (me included) who selected New Jersey! I guess the only fair solution is to scratch the double up game this week and start it from next OR to make one random game the double up.

Eizzo03 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 I meant to make my picks first thing this morning when I got to the office. Clearly, that didn't happen.

Here's my picks for the rest of the weekend: Saturday: NY Rangers @ Boston Colorado @ Buffalo Pittsburgh @ Toronto New Jersey @ Montreal Florida @ Ottawa Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia Washington @ Atlanta x2 Anaheim @ Nashville Chicago @ Minnesota NY Islanders @ Phoenix Calgary @ Vancouver St Louis @ Los Angeles Detroit @ San Jose Sunday: Ottawa @ Carolina Dallas @ Columbus Anaheim @ Chicago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's the only way to do it, but damn my x2 game worked perfectly Someone else had the idea that you should make it a set game, like take the biggest matchup and make it the "Game Of The Weekend". That could be fun. Have it be like Chicago-San Jose, Washington-Pittsburgh, those kinds of games. It's probably a little bit easier and people won't forget to add a "x2", since all they have to do is pick a winner like usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Bylsma 27 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) I guess that's the only way to do it, but damn my x2 game worked perfectly this game is going to be completed at some point this season,correct ? If so points can be added to peoples overall score then.Although it is looking a little unlikely that points will be involved with a 3-0 score but you never know...... Edit / UPDATE: game to resume on Sunday http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=513041 Edited January 9, 2010 by Dan Bylsma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 It's okay, the double up for this week will go ahead. As Dan Bylsma rightly alluded to, the game will eventually be played so IF New Jersey were to come back and win then the people who predicted NJ will get a nice little point down the track.
