First Goal of the Game: 11/12 vs San Jose 7:30PM PT

[Dawdler]

I hope Sybil doesn't mind but I'd thought I'd be proactive and get this started, I did change out a couple of players, I can always adjust accordingly.


Each person gets to make two picks per game. One of your picks can be anyone on the team, and your other pick is your 'Dark Horse'. In other words, your Dark Horse is a player who is less likely to score the first goal...or any goal for that matter. The list of ineligible Dark Horses for this season are:

*Tyler Toffoli
*Anze Kopitar
*Jeff Carter
*Teddy Purcell
*Dustin Brown

Points are awarded as follows:

*Four points awarded if you pick a player as a Dark Horse
*Two points awarded if you pick a player as your normal pick
*One point awarded if you pick a shutout (Kings get shutout that is)
*One extra point is awarded if you pick the correct situation in which the goal is scored (i.e. ES, PP, SH, PS)

-If you pick the same player as your normal pick and your Dark Horse, your normal pick gets priority.
-You can only pick Kings players to score the first goal of the game. Opposing teams do not count.

An example of how your pick should look is:

Carter (PP)
Dark Horse: Doughty (ES)

Once the official game time* has passed, no more picks are allowed. Please make sure to get your picks in ahead of time to be fair to everyone. Good luck!

*Official game time is the scheduled start of the game as stated by the NHL (and LA Kings) schedule. You will find it included in the thread title

Just wondering why you consider Brown a non dark horse?
Think he's the poster child after last years abysmal shooting percentage.

first game of the season and he is on the first line, I was going to go with Seto, but he has a lot more to prove.

once Gaborik and Pearson comeback there will be more options, I just followed the template we have been using for years.

if I do another one I'll swap out Brown for Lewis
