gruven 530 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I went with Edmonton on the long shot , and I dont believe anyone can score on Boston, so I went the other way.. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Is there any benefit to taking an under dog? Or just the hope that others will have their streaks ruined? Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I keep forgetting about this. Starting a new streak by picking the Penguins tonight. Missed the double down, anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I tried to take Minny and double down on Wash, but I dont think it registered. Then I had to leave work, and now I guess its too late.So, Im confused.....why would I not just pick the biggest favourite?Even if I pick a dog and it comes thru, 90% of others on a different big fave still get the same point, right?

Zach6668 513 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Working on my nice streak of 0. I can surpass my career high with a win tonight. I picked the Flyers (puke) and Yes. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 First picks:NYI+Ryan.super long shot! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I went with Chicago and Ryan.Crosby is obviously sick, but jesus, he's going against Tim Thomas, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I went with STL and Crosby tonight.I think there are a few players that you have to disregard matchups for. Crosby is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I went with Chicago.No double down.I'm going for 7 tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I went with Chicago.No double down.I'm going for 7 tonight.so the name of the game is purely who has the longest streak going?(pretty sure I asked this before, just trying to figure it out, havent gotten into this at all)GL Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I think it is who can get the longest streak in a one month period. So, If Dale loses tonight, he is still on the board with a streak of 6, which is probably the longest so far. he'd just have to start over if he wants to try to beat that score.

Longest streak for each month (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar & Apr) wins a prize and then each of the six winners gets a 1 in 6 shot at (randomly) winning a Kia. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 When I picked, I was just trying to play hero and grab a big upset. I was suprised to see that STL had 97% on them! I was tempted to take Columbus, but I figured Id try to watch NYI-ANA so why not. StL down 4-0 now. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I am at 4, going for 6 tonight with NON popular picks..Boston and Ovechkin.I dont know how many people are playing but its only 10 days in and people have 14..Pretty tough Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm going with Edmonton and iginla tonight. I hear some young Stud goalie is starting for the Oilers, so I'm taking a flyer on them. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 the last two games, its been both.Khabbi has actually played pretty well this season, but he has been off in the last two games and has let in several bad goals and has had trouble tracking the puck and satying square to the shooters. He is getting caught out of position, and losing track of his angles when he does have position. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's more advanced than we think and it's a loss of muscle coordination. Link to post Share on other sites
