 Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins Still can't forgive myself for two picks, Minny @ Detroit and LA @ Calgary. I do NOT know what I was thinking!

Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins Trixster, San Jose didn't win (Phoenix did). So, the scores so far are:
Trixster: 7-4
MikeQ: 6-5
Peace,
Mike

Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins Huh Mike, you do realize the questions at the end aren't tiebreakers right? They count as points just like the picks. The only tiebreaker is the final mathematical calculation. By my calculations you guys have 2 different picks, plus the Parise/Kovalchuk question making 3, then the seedings, which you've almost nailed and can make big time ground on him with (if I calculate correctly there's potential for a maximum swing of about 4 points)
Still anyone's game.

Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins Oops. I had forgotten those were real questions and not just tie-breakers. But I'm sure Trixster will win anyway, haha. Peace, Mike

Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins If I've calculated correctly, it's definitely Trixster's win. TRIXSTERGames: 16-12 Malkin: (same pick as MikeQ, doesn't matter) Steve Mason: (same pick as MikeQ, doesn't matter) Ilya Kovalchuk: Vanc/Toronto: 1.0 point Tampa/False: 1.0 point Seeding: 4.5 points ------------- TOTAL: 22.5 points MIKEQGames: 11-17 Malkin: (same pick as Trixster, doesn't matter) Steve Mason: (same pick as Trixster, doesn't matter) Zach Parise: Vanc/Toronto: 1.0 point Tampa/False: 1.0 point Seeding: 8.0 points ---------- TOTAL: 21.0 points The only seeding left to be decided are based on whether St. Louis and Anaheim switch spots. But if they do, it doesn't help me any anyway. It will only make me lose more points. The only question I can gain a point on is our different picks with Parise and Kovalchuk. The rest of our answers for the questions are exactly the same, so they don't matter. Our picks for the last day of games are also all the same. But, a point won't be enough, as Trixster is 1.5 points ahead (when calculating the rest). Therefore, trixster wins. Congrats again, Trix! Peace, Mike

Re: NHL Pick'Em - Round 1 results... Round 2 head to head begins Well I think trixster won, though there's a couple steps you missed.
Firstly, Philadelphia still has to win tomorrow to get 4th/home ice in their series. This is important as you picked 4 Philadelphia 5 Pittsburgh and trix picked 4 Pittsburgh and 5 Philadelphia. However I believe you calculated it with Philly locked into 4, so yea, it'd only hurt you.
Secondly, regarding the 6-8 in the West, there's two possible combinations: 6 Columbus 7 Anaheim 8 St. Louis or 6 St. Louis 7 Columbus 8 Anaheim. If it's the first, you get all 2.25 points and trixster gets 1.5. If it's the second, you get .75 points and trixster gets .5.
But again I don't think it matters. If this makes sense:
MikeQ. highest possible seeding points: 11 (Montreal/NYR is wrong)
trixster lowest possible seeding points while MikeQ. gets highest: 9.25
So with the Parise/Kovalchuk question, that's a potential 2.75 point gain, when you need 5. I'll have to review your picks to make sure though... tomorrow

I think the idea you have though is right; if any changes occur today, they basically hurt me. So, Trixster remains in the lead either way. Definitely a nice stinkbomb of predictions right at the end of the game for me. Hehe. Go me! Peace, Mike
