Week three, and twelve games behind us, Devils88 has catched me up at 1st position, both at ten points now, while Calv hit the jackpot by predicting Dallas will win Calgary 2-1 on October 22nd.

Here are the results of last week:

Devils - Penguins 6-3
Senators - Lightning 4-1
Devils - Thrashers 3-4
Flames - Stars 1-2

And here's how we scored points this week:

Calv +6
Devils88 +4
Zetterman +4
AlexCobra +3
Minstrel +3
Tasku +3
Archibalduk +2
Daveranger +2
Grazza +2
Octavian +2
Rubbinio +2
Frosty 0


Next weeks games:

October 26th: Sharks - Stars
October 27th: Thrashers - Penguins
October 29th: Devils - Bruins
October 29th: Red Wings - Blackhawks

Zetterman's Dallas Stars will play the Sharks, who have been struggling, while on thursday the Pens will host the Thrashers, where Pittsburgh will have a chance to get their season finally into gear, and Atlanta need some consistancy as well. Devils and Bruins will meet on friday, while Minty's Masters... umm... Chicago Blackhawks will have to face the Western Conference leaders, the Detroit Red Wings on saturday.

Old and new users, place your bets!! =P~


Oh, and BTW, from now on I'll be adding new games on mondays, to synchronize it with the Stats Prediction League. :thup:

I need the points so I'll have to predict a loss for my Bruins at the hands of the Devils :(

Btw, add Vancouver Canucks to the list of favourite teams. They're the favourite team of my bro (Calv) on EHM. ;)

Roger!

Tasku - Caps
Octavian - Thrashers
Achibalduk - Bruins
Minty - Blackhawks
Dave - Rangers
Rubbinio - Senators
Devils88 - Devils
Zetterman - Stars
Joehelmer - Avalanche
AlexCobra - Penguins
Calv - Canucks

BTW, I have invented this system, by which I decide which teams to follow. A bit hard to explain, but it pretty much makes sure all teams are equally followed thruout the season, as long as the user is actually playing the game. So don't worry if I seem to be picking one team more in a row, it will fluctuate equally. :)

As I've said many a time the Hawks-Wings games are always a hugely contentious battle based upon so many darn Wings fans invading our home ice for games, driving in from all over. They're like rats... I swear :roll: Anyhow, they are always great games to watch. The Hawks better go in with guns blazing :bustacap:

Sorry for the latency. My school suddendly took a step towards busy, and I lost my home connection...

But I'll do my best to keep adding games on mondays.

Last weeks results:

Sharks - Stars 1-2
Thrashers - Penguins 5-7
Devils - Bruins 5-4
Red Wings - Blackhawks 4-2

Dave hit the jackpot and robbed me of my rightfully claimed lead by predicting Red Wings win on Chicago, while also scoring a point on the games at Dallas and Pittsburgh. Our new user Keitsi, scored one point out of two games he predicted. Welcome aboard!

And points scored:

Daveranger +6
Archibalduk +3
Frosty +3
AlexCobra +2
Minstrel +2
Zetterman +2
Calv +1
Devils +1
Keitsi +1
Octavian +1
Rubbinio +1
Tasku +1


Next week:

November 4th: Thrashers - Capitals
November 4th: Blackhawks - Stars
November 5th: Penguins - Bruins
November 5th: Canucks - Flames

Last weeks results:

Blackhawks - Stars 1-9
Thrashers - Capitals 3-4
Canucks - Flames 4-2
Penguins - Bruins 2-3

Points scored:

Rubbinio +5
Tasku +3
AlexCobra +2
Dave +2
Devils +2
Octavian +2
Calv +1
Frosty +1
Minstrel +1
Zetterman +1

Justice was once again served last week, as I regained my first position from evil Dave, while Rubbinio took a leap to the top by scoring five points last round. His prediction of the Pittsburgh - Boston game brought him four points. Nice job! Devils88 and AlexCobra also seem consistant performers and keep on making points every round, although neither has yet once enjoyed the glorious life of Prediction League leader... ahem... 8-)


Next week:

Nov 10: Senators - Bruins
Nov 10: Avalanche - Canucks
Nov 12: Capitals - Devils
Nov 12: Rangers - Penguins

Tasku has slipped three places down as Davey, D88 and Rubbinio have skipped over him to take the top the places. Rubbinio correctly predicted the outcome of all four games (although not the scores), D88 earnt six points and so did Davey. Calv and Zetterman both got three points each.

This week's fixtures:
16 Nov: Red Wings @ Flames
17 Nov: Rangers @ Hurricanes
20 Nov: Canucks @ Mighty Ducks
20 Nov: Bruins @ Rangers

If things go my way this week (and they usually don't :( ) then I could find myself moving up at least two places. It would be so satfsfying to leap frog my arch-nemisis, Minty. Mwahaha :malky: :razz:

I've predicted a loss for the Bruins this week so there's some points already in the bag :D
