Hockey Prognosticating – Vancouver Open





http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/vancouver-riot/322755073-6f2677f4d17a1ea57badfcde028aecd8.4df97fc0-scaled.jpg




What is Hockey Prognosticating?

In the game, participants pick the winners of a set of hockey games in a particular week and are placed in a knock-out system. Beat your opponent and move onto to the next round. It's easy, all you have to do is predict the winner of the match, the margin, and sometimes the score for a set of games listed.

Note:

- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker featuring winning margins or correct score will decide who moves on to the next round.


How to Sign-Up:

Just post here that you would like to play ("Im IN"). Entries will be based on The HPT rankings from two weeks prior. If you don't have a ranking, you can begin one! Anyone can enter! :D

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the "GAME LIST" is ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every game on the list! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [HPT: Vancouver 1st Round]. Picks must be sent in by the deadline stated in the GAME LIST.

How the GAME LIST Works


EXPLANATION:
GAME LIST
VANCOUVER at WINNIPEG MA2
EDMONTON at CALGARY MA1 PTS
Game with MA after it's name - Pick the winner and the margin (Ex: WINNIPEG 2)
Game with PTS after it's name - Pick the correct score (Ex: CALGARY 6-3)

First Round Differences

[RedCoffee]

come on Panthers!!!!!

Edit: wOOOOOOOO

[GirlySports]

I made an error in the chart above.. as you have probably notice ST and STL is not a difference so there were 3 differences in each matchup and BOTH of them came down to the buffalo-florida shootout.

RedCoffee and bomber317 advance

[GirlySports]

Some news...ineedanother did not send for Quarterfinals so we have a lucky loser

I compared results between J epworth kendal and devo22, both got 3 correct out of 8 but devo22 got 3 margins correct compared to 1 by
J epworth kendal. So devo22 is the lucky loser!

Everyone slumps, it's late in the season.

Good luck Devo22! Use the lucky loser power and take down that Vancouver participant.

[Hockey]

From my calculations

RedCoffee and OffsideSpecialist split their differences but RedCoffee got one margin right (DALLAS 1)

devo22 wins 3 differences to 2 (NYI, CHI and DAL)

[Hockey]

I just cant ever seem to make the finals.

[devo22]

Why are the differences tied? I have PIT, TBL and VAN correct, RedCoffee has SJS ... no? Am I overlooking something?

[GirlySports]

oh Vancouver won! I thought Dallas won.

Sorry

ummmm

Congrats devo22!
