Too bad
No lead is safe since they introduced those stupid-ass bonus points.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:22 amToo bad
On a lighter note, you can slow down in the HTC group any time ya like there brother. Starting to think I may have to just pack it in until the real battle starts in the spring
Agreed. No clue what they were thinking with that feature. Totally undermines the original concept and structure of the game. Overall winners now ultimately based on random element of whether or not players got lucky and happened to perform well on days when on ice hat tricks took place. Just dumb.

If they wanted to attach interest to on-ice hat tricks, they should have just added a fourth question for every day asking, "Will there be an on-ice hat trick today?" If you check NO and are right, you get an extra HT. If you check YES and are right, you get 3 extra HTs. Most people would put NO most days since hat tricks aren't that common. Still dumb but at least this would add an element of skill to the selection along with additional risk/reward to the process.
Yeah, you got a comfy cushion now. Mike was out of town for over a week and didn't make a single pick so that helped ya too. I got a triple last night but then Nuux got the same one or I'd be in 2nd all alone. Need some big luck in the home stretch.
You had to know there was some happy campers up here in Canuckville during that one.
He was a capable backup for the Coyotes, with stretches of very good and very bad play. Trouble came if he had to play too many games, which was a given with Mike Smith's injury history. He was really bad by the end of his time in Arizona. Those Coyotes teams were not very good. They actually overachieved given the rosters. Seemed like he was a bit of a hothead but I haven't followed his career much since he moved on other than noticing him bouncing between the NHL and AHL.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 2:01 am What's yer recollection of Louis Domingue when he was in Arizona?

Thanks man. Sounds pretty much like what I'd gathered from the mixed reviews that have followed him here and his numbers. Apparently he's matured out of some of the emotional antics so we're hopeful he'll improve under the tutelage of Ian Clark here much like other goalies have of late.mooyagi wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:49 amHe was a capable backup for the Coyotes, with stretches of very good and very bad play.

The brackets are not available to fill out until after the play-in round is complete. Still a week to go so hopefully the hat trick picks will populate soon. maybe they're waiting to make sure every player makes it to the bubble first.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 9:55 pm Hey Mooragi... have you seen any option in the brackets challenge yet to actually enter any picks?
I keep refreshing and can see that you and I both are in the group but can't see any way to start making bracket selections
No apparent offering of HTC picks or anything related there yet either

Feels just as good getting one on day two by predicting a Boston loss
You still have a chance if you score some bonus hat tricks this weekend.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 8:12 pmFeels just as good getting one on day two by predicting a Boston loss
Would've got back to backs too if it weren't for Kane's empty netter late in game one getting called back for offside haha
I'm guessing they're gonna reset us all to zero after this play-in and round robin stuff once the best of sevens start. Can't see anyone catching you in the next week
Don't worry. Pretty sure they're gonna reset after tomorrow's games tidies up the regular season battle
Had Kane's empty netter on night one not been reversed due to that miniscule offside, I'd be one point back of you going into final games tomorrow haha. Hope someone gets an on ice HT tomorrow so I can at least potentially tie you for HTs. No chance of catching ya in points for tiebreaker though. Was a good battle
I can kinda say the same for our Canucks. Technically, we were in when the season stopped but who knows what the last 1/4 season would've brought? Wild put up a good battle in game 1 and our goalie nearly crapped the bed in game 4 but the boys bailed him out. They still owe him many more haha
I have zero confidence in my selections based on how the play in round went.
I went 6 of 8 in the play-in round (this one started 2 weeks ago https://fantasy.sportsnet.ca/sportsnet/ ... fbracket20 ) but only picked the correct number of games in 3 of 8. Good enough for 51st overall so in good position to move up if my next round goes well.
As is tradition

Really though, you must feel positive about your team's future. Lots of young talent, a seemingly competent coach and a nice looking goalie situation, even if Markstrom walks.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 9:46 pm

It's okay. I got another today for you too.ShoreSlayer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 11:18 pm FFS Ryan!
I get a HT and am part of only 7% of the field to get one and you get one too!
How the hell am I supposed to make up ground when you pull that crap?
Damn
Aside from that... WAY TO GO Hoppy!! 3 of us getting into such a small % of the field is actually really cool and I don't feel so bad since seeing you got all 3 as well. Hat Trick for the the 70K HTC crew on a night when most were wrong!
