OT: Fantasy Pick 'em Pool - 2021 Season

[Harbour Dog]

1) For each Rangers game this year, everybody is welcome to comment with their two selections (one player from each team) who they think will score the game-winning goal.

2) A correct answer is worth 30 points minus the number of minutes that the player was on the ice for, ignoring seconds. Some examples:
- Kreider scores the game winner and has 15:40 TOI; anybody who picked him gets 30-15 = 15 points
- McKegg scores the game winner and has 8:55 TOI; anybody who picked him gets 30-8 = 22 points
- Brent Burns scores the game winner and has 26:15 TOI; that is 30-26 = 4, but the minimum is 5 points

3) A NEW WRINKLE THIS YEAR: If your pick gets an ASSIST on the GWG, then you will receive half the points that you would have gotten had he scored it.

4) I will always try to start the threads the night before with an updated leaderboard in the first post, and will only accept predictions posted before the scheduled start of the game.

5) In games that end in a shootout, whichever player scores the deciding goal will be given the GWG for the purposes of scoring.

6) In the event of a selection not playing a single second of TOI during a game, anybody picking them will be given the teammate with the next highest jersey number as a replacement, with numbers rolling back over to 1 after passing 99.

Yeah, I'm considering switching to him.

If he does come out of the gate like a freight train, his TOI will probably go up quickly, and these first few games may be the only ones where he is worth 15+ points.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Loving it.

Lemieux
Barzal

 

[NYR94]

Zibanejad

[Harbour Dog]

As per the new rules, not only will @howztheglass take the lead with his 13 points on the Nelson pick, but both @Ratelleitlikeitis and @East Coast Bias score 6.5 points thanks to Beauvillier's assist on the goal.

And we're off!
