Pre-Game Talk: The 2024-2025 First Goal of the Game and Cute Animal Pic Thread (Use link in OP to submit picks)

[Unlimited Chequing]

Continuing on with the time honoured tradition, the First Goal of the Game game is underway!

---> ---> ---> CFHF's "First Goal of the Game" Game <--- <--- <---​

1. Pick the three players you think may get the first goal, along with the situation (Even Strength, Power Play, Short Handed, Penalty Shot)
2. Enter your HF username
3. Hit submit

Format:
- Your first pick gets you 3 points
- Your second pick gets you 2 points
- Your third pick gets you 1 point
- Guessing the correct scoring situation gets you a bonus point
- Picking 'shutout' or 'loss' gets you eternal damnation

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 Calgary Flames) schedule.*

Can we give @Boomstick last place now?

Another year where there is no prize for a 1st place finish?

I'd like to change that. I'd like to donate a used coffee cup to be awarded to the winner.
If you want, you can name it. Maybe something like "Lord Rubi's Cup"? Or not.

Of course this would be a very valuable trophy so like other NHL trophies you wouldn't actually be able to keep it. Instead you would get a picture of it.

If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
