I had no idea they counted +/-
Not sure I like it lol. I might not have taken 3 Sens, as I expected another 6-5 score.
Winding up on the wrong end of those minuses wouldn't be good

I really debated picking Hammond, because Toronto always plays Ottawa hard and the clock had to strike midnight at some point, but went with it so I could save some $ in goal to put both Backstrom and Ovechkin in.

picked ryan strome in the 25k pool, about the only good decision I made today lol

Resolute 14 · 03-21-2015, 07:54 PM

I snagged Tobias Reider in a late night pool, which has me second right now. The only other guy to pick him up is in first. If the four Flyers I took have a big game in Edmonton, this will end up a very good night overall.

Very tight race tonight fellas. Except jemjay the overachiever.

JonDuke · 03-21-2015, 09:41 PM

Don't worry gang, I'll hold up the back for you all!
Ugh

EldrickOnIce · 03-21-2015, 09:49 PM

I am more than a little upset that everyone in the top 3 has at least two Oilers.
For shame...

trublmaker · 03-21-2015, 09:53 PM

need a big period from Philly and I'll be fine and Edmonton is no good so there's that.

trublmaker · 03-21-2015, 10:00 PM

oh yes that should help

Never underestimate the oiler's ability to accumulate points in meaningless games.

Got lucky tonight guys! Sitting 99th in the 20k breakaway! Now if only I had picked up halak...

trublmaker · 03-21-2015, 10:39 PM

and the shot thru the heart. Edmonton still sucks. Grats to the winners

StarshipKipper34 · 03-21-2015, 11:13 PM

Congrats on top spot j3mj3y

Otherwise I think it's even up, though both are much different in terms of scoring (and therefore strategy). +/- is the biggest difference. I tend to dislike random events playing a factor - and I'm not sure +/- isn't pretty random in this context.

Fanduel has an app as well.

True. Just came out two days ago. There's been high demand for one. I've never played draft kings or used their app, but I like this app so far, although nothing beats surfing from your computer.

I've been using it for weeks on iPhone...are you on android?

calgarygeologist · 03-22-2015, 09:41 AM

I've only been playing Fanduel since this thread was started but as of yesterday I am finally up over my initial deposit. It is now time to start to build a small fortune!

EldrickOnIce · 03-22-2015, 09:50 AM

There is no app for Android yet.
They just released a companion app for scoring, not for entering contests, editing lineups.
They plan to release one soon though.

We are proud to announce FanDuel Live Scoring, a live companion app for Android smartphones, now available in the Google Play Store.
Google Play Store policy prohibits us from listing an app that enables entering contests or editing lineups, due to the fact that we offer real money prizes for our contests.
We’ve been hard at work on a full FanDuel application for Android phones, which we’ll allow users to download directly from our website as soon as it’s ready. In the meantime, we wanted to offer our popular live scoring experience through the Google Play Store in a limited companion app that complies with Google Play terms.
This way, we can serve 100% of our Android users, even those who are unable or unwilling to install non-Google Play applications on their device.
This companion app (and the upcoming full version) has been completely redesigned for Android phones for an intuitive, native Android experience. With this companion app, you can quickly follow the progress of your live contests.

EldrickOnIce · 03-22-2015, 05:12 PM

I am a really big fan of the new official Fanduel game/score tracker app for Android.
Very nice interface!
If the full app, when it's available, is as nice it will be a big winner.

CroFlames · 03-23-2015, 01:29 PM

If anyone wants to win some money, feel free to copy my team. I envision big things tonight

This Gaudreau guy is apparently a bum and doesn't get a picture.

How do you not pick Hammond. So hot right now.

Spoiler!
