WJC: Return Of The Statsy Pool

[Tomsburninghat]

Anybody have withdrawals today? Enjoyed the Winter Classic in its place but its not the same...

 

[Khabby]

Lost 4 players today Atleast they were my 4 lowest scorers!

 

[Statsy]

My players are dropping like flies...or dominos. Or flies playing dominos.

 

[Statsy]

The Predictor standings are updated and I should have the semifinal match-ups posted later tonight. sickest flo bro picked a bad time to miss the pick deadline. He just dropped form 1st place to 11th in 1 day.

In 2011, Team Canada held a sizeable 3-0 lead heading into the third period of the final against Russia, only to give up 5 goals in that period to lose. I only bring that up because my team in this pool seems to be going through a similar collapse.

Meanwhile, BigPapaSmurff has been putting on a late surge and the threepeat is now in sight. Here are today's totals:

Khabby- 10
WeThreeKings- 9
BigPapaSmurff- 8
bottomofthefoodchain- 7
FightinSioux- 7
Tomsburninghat- 5
sickest flow bro- 4
Statsy- 2

 

[WeThreeKings]

Considering my second round pick is going to end with 0 pts.. being in the race at all is impressive.

Really surprised how it's worked out for Saros. We knew Finland had two good goalies though.

 

[Statsy]

By the way, there was a bit of a glitch in the Predictor semifinal games, but it's been fixed so you should be fine to make your picks now.

With only one relegation game on the schedule, not a lot happened today. Two points for Khabby and one for sickest flo bro. I've also crossed out the players that have been eliminated from your individual charts.

 

[Statsy]

It was a big day for Vorky in the Predictor game, as his Russian boys did him proud. He was, in fact, the only entrant to pick Russia to beat Sweden, earning him a huge 8 points, and he also nailed the goal margin in the Canada win. Vorky takes over first place in the pool, but several people remain within striking distance as the tourny hits its final day.

There isn't much turnaround time before the bronze medal game starts, so get those picks in before the deadline!

Khabby- 6
FightinSioux- 4
BigPapaSmurff- 4
Tomsburninghat- 3
bottomofthefoodchain- 3
sickest flow bro- 3
WeThreeKings- 0
Statsy- 0

It proves again that if your get the right goalie you're bound to be near the top. Pts-wise for most of us was pretty much even - another successful year. 12 pts from 1st to last isn't that much when you consider goalie pts are worth 2+.

 

[Tomsburninghat]

Oh and...GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!!!

It just so happened that my last pick was my goalie who runs away with the show for Russia, got to love that.


IT ALL ENDS TONIGHT! Go Canada Go!....( Hurts my goalie though )

 

[Statsy]

Only one guy with Slovakia picked to win that game...STATSY!!!

It's all come down to the final game. The standings have been updated to include the BMG.

 

[Statsy]

It's all over for Predictor. And the winner is....fedfed! Vorky and myself both had Russia allowing fedfed to eke out the victory. Vorky and Emerz tie for second place. Here are the final standings. Thanks everyone for playing, and congrats again to our Predictor winner, fedfed!

 

[Statsy]

I'll have the final Statsy Pool numbers up a bit later.

 

[Statsy]

And the winner is...wait...are you ***ing kidding me? BigPapaSmurff with the come from behind win! Unbelievable. BPS is now the three time champ of the Statsy WJC Pool. Unreal!

Wow...I didn't expect to win this year with no Canadian skaters and Eichel eliminated early. Fucale did well. Great tournament this year, guys!

Looking forward to 2016

 

[Tomsburninghat]
