2023 NHL Playoff Overtime Challenge - Discussion

[The Comish]

Has anyone gotten one right yet?

newf, I moved your question to this thread - the other one is only for the OT picks.

I think I'm the only one so far to get one - Trevor Moore for LA in game 2 or 3.

A lot of big names not scoring in OT this playoffs...

Hyman with his first of the playoffs!

Easiest overtime pick tonight. Just knew if it was going to be a Panther it would be Tkachuck. I think others had that same feeling!

Too bad (for me) I was making dinner and was too late getting the pick in.

hope you were at least making a chicken dinner. The rest of us won one!

When do we get Swiss Chalet as an official sponsor of the challenge?

YA I ran out of chicken dinners cooking them up for all you winners!
Had roast beef instead.

It has occurred to me that Swiss Chalet is basically only in Ontario.

Okay, KFC it is.

Ever considered making this like fantasy hockey in the sense of points? Like a point for the winner and maybe half a point if you picked a guy who got the Assist instead of the goal? Dunno just thinking out loud!

It's been kept very simple and likely that's the way it will probably stay. I had thought about ordering your OT winners so that the first player you list is the one you think will be the team that wins it and you would get 2 points for picking the OT winner and the team. If your second player scores, you get the 1 point. Half points for OT assists would be an added wrinkle.

Unless someone has the time though, it's hard enough to go back through all the OT games and pick up who scored, which one of us made the correct pick, which is why I think it might be best to keep it simple, pick the OT scorer and get one point.

I think pmorrow and I are tied with 2 for the lead? Not sure if there is anyone else with 2.

Likely be easier to keep a running tally somewhere for this.

I've been doing this the last couple of years. I'll post something after tonight's game with the leaderboard!

[1320kid]

Did yours count tonight or did you miss it Invictus?

Thanks Comish.

I will post your newest standings updates in the original post as well.

The only change Id think about would be you pick one player instead of two
- as EB and I and a few others do. 1pt for getting the winning team and 1 pt if your player pick scores. False parody!
