Hockeyagi!! - 2011/2012 race for the cup!!

[mooyagi]

Watching the OIlers and Kings play--this should just ....suck

At least you guys will get ANOTHER high draft pick, right? How long's Taylor Hall out for? Seguin's doin' just fine

Whoopy Rat Shit!



At least Tyler`s got some girlfriends!!





Taylor is apparently a real ass-hat in person

Saw another pic from those girls with a sign that says "I wish I got two minutes for hooking" We make 'em classy, up in The Hub of Hockey

I love the fact that the most violent sport has the Lady Byng trophy for ``Most Sportsmanlike``
JOrdan Eberle has 8 PM this year.


Why is there no trophy for MOST Penalty Minutes..


I guess that tropghy is called cred..


LOL

Wonder who's leading in PIM this season. I believe Shawn Thornton of the Bruins has the most fights

I make you a favor by getting shut-out and that's how you use it? By getting one point? No more favors, mister!

Grats to mooyagi though

Looks like I should be able to surpass EvilDan since it looks like he hasn't made any picks in a long time.

Never mind last night. NHL changed a goal from Tuesday night and resulted in me losing my HT. cant win even if I play perfectly the rest of the way.

So, I concede

Congratz Nuux!!!

See you all in the playoff rounds!!

[NuuX]

Crap, I was 1:02 away from HT and then Alexander Semin goes and scores a 4th one for Capitals

Rob, don't give up yet, you should aim for 300 points now, only 5 to go!!

And grats to my fellow countryman Kopitar for another year in playoffs. May his beard grow longer than last year

PS: Ah, crap, Battle for Pensylvania in frst round and to top it off, Penguins haven't beaten Flyers at home in the last five matches in Pittsburgh

[shaneos]

So, I concede

Congratz Nuux!!!

See you all in the playoff rounds!!

Yes great job Nuux, it's been a fun game despite my dry spell of late. I still have the slimmest of chances to pull of 2nd if I can get back to back tonight and tomorrow with Rob bombing both.

Not confident though :-p

Good luck Shane. I was so choked that they changed that one goal and lost me the HT the other day that I ended up helping ya out by forgetting to put my picks in until after the first 2 questions were locked. I would've got them correct and left ya all alone in 3rd but now we have a fun race for the final 2 days

As soon as they're up and active, I'll post links to all the online playoff games I know of. The NHL does that bracket one that we did last year and I think they do this HTC one as well. I just wish the sportsnet.ca one that I've done every year for the past decade or more was open to non-Canadians. Would be the best one for us to enjoy. Maybe those who want to can play from outside Canada but just not qualify for prizes. I'll post the details later so we can try. If anyone knows of or finds any other similar playoff contests, plz post the info as well.

Can't believe Canucks got the gift of a Rangers loss handed to them and only had to beat Calgary and Edmonton to nail down a 2nd consecutive President's Trophy. Now, after giving up their first loss when leading after 2 periods since October 2009, we have to beat Edmonton AND hope for help from the lowly Caps to secure that questionable prize

Anyways, it's all about Lord Stanley at the end of the day. Good luck to everyone's teams in the real season (except Ryan of course. bruins can suck it!)

Hey man, I hope the 'Nucks do well! I want them to go all the way to the Final so they can lose to the B's again and we can have another offseason of jokes about the Sedin Sisters and pumping Luongo's tires

[KDibildeaux]

Coyotes made the playoffs

HT for me tonight. So it's down to the last night then, couldn't have asked for a better finish. (for 2nd of course with all of us being pwnd by Nuux)

Hey does the HT challenge continue into the playoffs?

[mooyagi]

Hey does the HT challenge continue into the playoffs?

Yes. Last season Rob and I were making picks all the way up until Zdeno Chara hoisted Lord Stanley's Cup high into the stratosphere as Roberto Luongo was crying in the crease wondering when somebody would pump his tires.

I don't remember if the count reset between the season and playoffs but in a conversation with Pengy the other day he said that the count does reset so it's like we get a fresh start to try and dethrone Nuux through the playoffs.

[NuuX]

I can just do what I did with regular season - start playing this game a month or so after the rest of you so I don't have unfair advantage

But, joking aside, with the streak I have recently I doubt I'll be in any contention for the coveted 70k laurels.

[Jaimie38]

I would pay someone $1000 to fire a puck at John Tortorella's fucking head and shut this dumbass up.



What a tool.

What'd he say exactly to earn the wrath of hockey fans everywhere this time?

[KDibildeaux]

Coyotes won the division!

[mooyagi]

Ottawa faded to the 8 seed so the B's get Washington in the first round now. Playoff schedule will be released Sunday. Hurry up already!

That was actually for Friday. I picked the Kings and just got bumped on the OT loss otherwise I would have been 31. So close :-). I see it's been comepletely reset now

Good work sir!!

I'm hoping some of the others who didn't play all year will join up for playoffs so here's the link for anyone new: NHL HTC (If it fails, just do a search for NHL Hat Trick Challenge) I've just talked Kyoko into joining us so I suspect she'll be kicking all our asses! She tells me to tell y'all that she's just learning and to be nice to her but I suspect that's just part of her strategy.

More playoff links for us all

NHL Brackets Challenge Same group name and password as Ryan used

[url=PLACEHOLDER]Sportsnet Weekly Pool[/url] This one's my fave but only Canadians can win prizes officially. I'll make a group using the same info as Ryan used for the HTC one for any who wanna come play. It's not up yet but I'll update once it is

Round 1 Schedule

Wooohooo!! C'monnnn Wednesday!

Every year my buddy and I pick a team in October and whoever does better wins the money. He guessed the winner 2 years in a row. This year he picked Detroit and I picked Pittsburg. I just need Pittsburg to do better than Detroit and it's a succesful playoffs for me.
