Hockeyagi!! - 2011/2066 race for the cup!!

[mooyagi]

After a horrible start to the season I'm on fire in the Hat Trick Challenge. 2nd overall with the most correct answers to this point. Cue the pre-cruise cold streak.

[mooyagi]

Hat Trick picks are available all the way through Sunday, so those of us going on the cruise can still put our choices in for the time we're gone.

[ShoreSlayer]

Somebody fire up some playoff groups!

I pick Ryan. To the victor goes the spoilage!

[mooyagi]

I thought the winner gets the losers to do the work for him! I'm quite surprised I won after my terrible start. Was on fire after the All-Star break.

Looks like the NHL Bracket Challenge isn't quite up yet. I'll check tomorrow morning if I can get a league going. The Hat Trick Challenge seems to already be set up automatically from our regular season group.

Good luck in finishing second, everybody!

[ShoreSlayer]

Just razzin' ya bro.

I'm on it

Thanks for setting it up! I can't seem to get into the actual bracket but I'm sure it'll get up and working for me before the games start.

[ShoreSlayer]

We’re just giving you a little extra time to think about your picks.
The 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs Bracket Challenge will be live shortly.

[mooyagi]

It's up and running now. I really have no confidence in my picks this year. Lots of tough choices.

Password for Hat Trick Challenge is metalpucks.

Public and no password needed on the Sportsnet one. Not that many ppl from here have played it traditionally so I thought I'd leave it open to random players to join.

Please add others if ya know of any cool ones but the HTC one tends to be the fave of 70K hockey fans.

Woohoo! Not quite ready for hockey to start yet but I'm sure I can get excited over the next week. Bruins have some really exciting young players to watch (especially Charlie McAvoy), Coyotes shouldn't be total ass this year and Tucson will probably suck but hey, they might have Dylan Strome since he doesn't look NHL ready.

Nice!

Canucks are in serious rebuild mode but still bringing in a few vets as if they had a chance for something respectable but we too have lots of exciting young players doing well and winning spots on the roster (Boeser n' Virtanen of note) and, of course, Horvat to rally around. Sedins just turned 37 and on last year of existing contracts but lost a number of steps over years past so not likely to have banner years. 2 big goalies and no more overpaid crap like Ryan and Luongo (all respect but albatross contract screwed him and us). Will take a number of lucky bounces and gritty wins just to squeak into the playoffs but looking forward to a season or two from now as this young group grows together.

GOOD OL' HOCKEY GAME!

[shaneos]

Alright guys and gals I am back in this year. After a year off where my team competed for the cup I'm back. Except Ryan we dropped the first game to the Bruins so not the best start but my hockey stats are in full swing.

That game got way too close for comfort at the end.

[mooyagi]

Coyotes shouldn't be total ass this year

Yeah, about that...

[mooyagi]

Aaayyyyyyy. USA beats Canada again!

[Jaimie38]

Aaayyyyyyy. USA beats Canada again!

Ahem....

[mooyagi]

Aaayyyyyyy. USA beats Canada again!

Ahem....

But we didn't lose to Canada.

[ShoreSlayer]

Can't believe you caught me Ryan! Thought I was freaking destined when Nashville had that last second goal disallowed on Tuesday night!

Ah well... A fight to the finish! I need some serious horseshoes cuz you got the tiebreaker all sewed up!

Mwahaha! This one's going down the final day of the season.

[mooyagi]

That final Sedin home game was scripted! Quite an incredible game to watch. It shouldn't have ended any other way.

No kidding. If not for the almost eerie numbers attached to the 2 goals they were in on one could have trouble fighting off conspiracy theorists around it actually being staged. Kind of too surreal to believe. Happy for them and their bigger fans for how it all panned out and really gave our city/team fans something cool to get excited about after yet another disappointing season in the standings. Highlight for me was the Canucks' 3rd goal by Lyswyc (sp?) as that was a gutsy and creative n' exciting spin-o-rama move and he's looking like a great and cheap young pickup to add to our core young group moving forward. Really hope to see a home playoff game a year from now haha

By the time it got to OT even I was rooting for one of the twins to pot the winner. There really were some strange numbers popping up in that game report. That crowd reminded me of the Vancouver crowd during the 2011 playoffs. It was electric.

In regards to playoffs in the very near future, Coyotes fans are starting to feel the same way about their team. The squad and coach have clicked really well in the second half of the season. There is a lot of talented youth in the system and a high draft pick may add even more. Plus, they've extended the contract of Antti Raanta, who looks like a bonafide #1 starter. He leads the league in GAA and Sv% since the calendar turned to 2018. For now, we get to experience playoff hockey down in the AHL as Tucson currently leads the Western Conference. Should be good practice for the boys who will graduate to the big club next year.

FYI: It's Leipsic and yeah, that goal was incredible.

[ShoreSlayer]

Thanks for the spelling correction haha. Gonna trip over that one again I'm sure.

So, what games we playing during playoffs? Any besides the boring brackets one?

Poor Ovi. Does the Hat Trick app give you a message saying the group message broad has been deleted?

[NuuX]

Yes. Not sure why though. Came here to see if you two are active.

[mooyagi]

Came here to see if you two are active.

Not very. Hockey has been fun, though (aside from the horrible officiating). Bruins are probably going to have another long series against Tampa and Tucson has it's first second round game tonight.

[mooyagi]

The NHL needs to fix its fucking referee problem. This is fucking horseshit.

[ShoreSlayer]

Yeah, must have been some nasty racist or other nonsense on the chat feature of HTC cuz they just bloody nuked the whole thing. Too bad, it was a great feature. Kinda blows... sorta like my picks haha

Right there with ya on the picks. NuuX is gonna run away with this one.

[NuuX]

We're only halfway through conference finals, so no winners yet. Altough it's nice to get a HT and see other contenders fail :)

[last_candle]

I guess, this was the closest Switzerland will ever get to winning a World Cup
