Second Period Suck

[Indian Chief]

I have been way too optimistic with this team so far so I'm tempted to put shutout for a couple of these games.

Well that was prophetic.

 

[skrillex26]

Wasn't it just.

 

[MadCaptain]

Forgot to update this from wed since monday's was a no-show for points.

@Chi: #1 Langenbrunner. #2 Kovalchuk, #2 Zajac, #2 Elias

MadCaptains: 1 point
devils30mb:3 points
Indian Chief: 2 points

 

[MadCaptain]

Maybe I shouldn't make questions for this. Everything i focus on turns out to be the problem for each week.

devils30mb wins it this week. maybe he can reverse the curse.

 

[devils30mb]

We have these next 2 games this week at home.
Our home record is disasterous and our offense is pittyful.

Pick for each of the 2 games whether the Devils will win/loose, what will the score be, and who will be the Devils top scorer for the game.

Points will be awarded by:

1 point for guessing win/loss correctly
1 point for guessing one of the team's score correctly
5 additional points for guessing the correct score for the game
1 point for each point the player gets in a game
3 additional points if the player is the top point getter
5 points for having no player and we get shut out - this has to coincide with your score total. You can't have devils scoring 1 or more goals in what the score will be and then no player to hedge your pick. It's all or nothing!

Games are:

Wed: Sabres @ Devils
Fri: Oilers @ Devils

 

[devils30mb]

Wed: Win, 3-2, Kovy
Fri: Win, 4-1, Zajac

I'm going to be optimistic here and feel they are going to finally break out. These are 2 games we have to win since these 2 teams are struggling just like us.

Brodeur & Miller are still questionable for the Wednesday game.

 

[Indian Chief]

I have been way too optimistic with this team and they constantly let me down. So I'm going to use some reverse psychology to get this thing going.

Wed v Sabres: Loss, 4-1, Elias
Fri v Oilers: Loss, 3-0

 

[DevFan60]

Here are my predictions:

Sabres: Win 3:1 - Taormina, Kovy, Elias
Oilers: OT Loss 2:3 - Zajac, Arnott

 

[SLY]

Sorry to be doom and gloom...

Sabres 3 - 2 Devils - Arnott, Elias
Oilers 2 - 1 Devils - Kovlolchuk

 

[MadCaptain]

Bring on the bad teams!!

Wed: Sabres @ Devils 2-1(SO) Devs win, Elias
Fri: Oilers @ Devils 4-3 devs win, kovalchuk

Sly and Devils fan, you have more than 1 player named, I guess I should have been more specific that only 1 player is picked per game.
That said give me one name from what you listed before game time otherwise I will arbitrarily take the first guy you listed.

Mad Captain, I guess something got into people wheaties since more has come to join the weekly predictions. Either that or the merry season has come early and people are in a festive mood.

Anyway, it is great to get more players on.

 

[MadCaptain]

Yah its good to have more people now. I thought this would die after last week. 2 shutouts when trying to guess the top scorers..

Sabres/win 4-2 elias
Oilers/win 2-0 clarkson

Game 1: Arnott / Game 2: Kovy

Thanks Sly guy.

 

[devils30mb]

Here are the point standings after last nights game:

Sly 6pts
Indian Chief 6pts
Clarkson23 6pts
Mad Captain 5pts
Devfan60 0pts
Devils30mb 0pts

I gave all who had Arnott, Elias, or Greene the additional 3 points for top point getter, since they both had 2 points last night.


Kovy, you let me down last night

 

[devils30mb]

Yes we get our first win at the Rock!

Final points standings are:

Mad Captain 12
Clarkson23Devils 8
Indian Chief 7
Jeff Sly 7
devils 30mb 3
Devfan60 2

Mad Captain is the winner and gets to come up with the question for next week's set of games.

Games for next week:
Mon: Devils @ Bruins
Thur: Devils @ Maple Leafs
Sat: Devils @ Blues

NJ Devils Rookie Challenge

The Devils are currently playing the following rookies:

Matt Taormina
Olivier Magnan-Grenier
Mattias Tedenby
Alex Vasyunov
Stephen Gionta

For each game list:
The Amount of Goals/Assists/Points that the forwards score combined.
The ATOI and the combined +/- of the Defencemen.

Bonus:
The devils get a new injury every other game so there is a 95% chance there will be another rookie call up in this time.
Pick one rookie that is currently not on the roster that will get the call up.

Scoring:
Goals/Assists/Points will be scored by giving you points equal to your estimate. If you exceed the true number, you get 0 points. If you put down 0 points and guess correctly, you are rewarded one point.

ATOI and +/- will be scored by giving the closest player 2 points and the second closest player 1 point. You may exceed the true ATOI in this case.


3 bonus points will be added if you correctly guess the new call up.


(goals/assists/points/ATOI/+-)
Mon: Devils @ Bruins 0 / 1 / 2 / 17:24 / -2
Thur: Devils @ Maple Leafs 1 / 2 / 3 / 16:37 / 0
Sat: Devils @ Blues 0 / 0 / 0 / 16:52 / -1
Tim Sestito will be called up

 

[devils30mb]

Mad Captain, you might want to check your first game there against the Bruins because you're points don't seem to add up - 0 goals, 1 assist, for 2 points.

Mon: Devils @ Bruins 0 / 0 / 0 / 16:02 / -2
Thur: Devils @ Maple Leafs 1 / 1 / 2 / 16:58 / +1
Sat: Devils @ Blues 0 / 1 / 1 / 16:23 / -1
As much as I want to go with Tim Sestito like you, I will say Brad Mills will be called up

 

[Indian Chief]

Mon: Devils @ Bruins 1 / 1 / 2 / 17:50 / -1
Thur: Devils @ Maple Leafs 2 / 1 / 3 / 16:55 / +3
Sat: Devils @ Blues 0 / 1 / 1 / 17:33 / +1
