First off, I would like to thank @ryerockarola for the great job he did last year on the Prediction Contest. Maintaining all of the point totals is a bit tricky, especially when he had to deal with people like me and all of my angst against those who keep picking the opposition to win...
I really like this contest as it is a fun way to pass the year, so I will be continuing it for this season. Remember, this is all for fun, the only thing you win is bragging rights, and for some of us, that's good enough...
As @SLAYER has pointed out in the past, let's make this fun and easy. The first thing you should post is your winning team, the score of the game, and the player you think will score the first goal. After that, you can post whatever you want. I'm guilty of not following this myself, so I will have to be careful, after all...
And as a reminder, here's how you are awarded points:
1 point: correct winning team
2 points: correct final score and winning team
3 points: player to score first goal of game
BONUS 2 POINTS: all 3 above correct
No one managed to get all three correct last season, although some of you did come close. Maybe this year someone will hit the trifecta...
Also, if you do manage to post more than one prediction (like no one has ever done that
), I will do my best to kindly ask you which prediction you actually would like to use. If I don't get a response, then your last prediction is the one that I will go with.
Please note that these points will not count towards your season totals, this is just to get back into the routine of the contest. Now on to the predictions for the Winnipeg Jets at Calgary Flames game...
And don't forget to get your posts in before the puck drop for them to count...
