SportsHoopla Shootout Challenge | Weekly Forum Game

[SLY]

Ok, so... There's about 26 playing weeks in the NHL regular season. This is pretty much just going to be like the NFL Survivor game. You pick one game and the winner of that game every week (Monday-Sunday). You can't pick the same team twice throughout the entirety of the season. I will keep track of everyone's choices, and whomever lasts the longest wins.

Hopefully we can get enough people to play even though this is last minute. We'll skip week one to give enough people a chance to get their hat in the ring. So, chime in with your picks for week two (10/13-10/19) and I will keep a running tally. Cheers!

I would change the title to get rid of shoot out as that has a negative connotation to most hockey fans with a pulse.

I'll take the Flames over the Oilers on Thursday as my practice pick.

Then for week two, I'll go with the Oilers over the Kings on Tuesday 10/14.

I hope dboy will be returning with his Saturday pick games - Good idea Sly, I'll take Toronto over Montreal this week as my practice game.

Islanders over Hurricanes

For week 1:
Kings over Oilers

Sounds good brudda.

I was skipping week one to give as many people as possible a chance to get in. I'm not going to allow people to enter after the game officially starts to be fair.

They're picking a winner for the first week as a "practice pick" as week two is when it officially starts.

[Cobiemonster]

My practice pick for this week will be Florida @ Tampa Bay with Tampa Bay winning

 

[SLY]

Just a heads up. Can you guys post the date as well going forward, just in case two teams are playing each other twice in the same week.

The practice pick wont stop us from picking that team again will it?

Negative, this is a freebie.

Practice pick = win in the bank
