              Hey FS, can you post the results of the bonus questions when you post the results for the week? Not by individual, just the totals, like WCHA saves were ###, and B1G SOG were ###.

                  Sure, probably a good way to double check my work too.

                  The WCHA Saves from the 3 games last night totaled 173 saves. That means that anyone that guessed between 164-182 will earn bonus points. Nobody correctly guessed that number. The closest guesses were 171 (myself and 1988) and 175 (gochiefs).

                  Nobody got all 5 games last night correct, but 1988 and FiveHole12 went 4-1.

                  1988 currently leads for the week with 16 points. 1988 is dominating the league at this point in time, up on Shirtless Bob by 26 points. We'll see if anyone can close that gap tonight.

                    I don't want to double check your numbers, just see how far off I am. And I guess my 1-4 night on Friday doesn't move me up in the standings. Those Maine hacks all bear and UncleRay are probably going to rocket past me. Arggh.

                      For those interested, the number of SOG by B1G teams on Saturday was 122. HoosierPioneer correctly guessed that and earned the full 10 bonus points. Several others were within a couple and earned 8-9 points.

                      Week 7 Standings:
                      1. 1988 - 24 points (8-2-0)
                      t2. UpNorthHockey - 23 points (8-2-0)

                      26th - 5 points
                      all bear

                      This was 1988's second straight weekly win. The average point total was just over 14 points. As a group we managed to correctly pick 49.42% of the games this week...the second worst outing of the season (only ahead of the dismal week 4's 39.14%). That being said, the average was the second best. People really took advantage of the bonus this week. 16 of the 26 predictors this week took home at least 1 bonus point.

                      OVERALL STANDINGS: (Top 10)
                      1. 1988 - 123 Points (42-16-2)
                      2. Aerman - 102 Points (35-23-2)
                      3. Laker Dude - 99 Points (34-24-2)
                      4. Shirtless Bob - 95 Points (33-25-2)
                      5. drshoen - 93 Points (34-24-2)
                      t6. FiveHole12 - 90 Points (40-18-2)
                      t6. PcFriars13 - 90 Points (29-19-2)
                      t6. FS23 - 90 Points (29-29-2)
                      9. driftryder - 88 Points (30-28-2)
                      10. darker98 - 87 Points (29-28-2)

                      In just two weeks, 1988 went from being in 3rd position (3 points out of 1st) to holding a commanding lead of 21 points. That should show everyone that climbing the ladder can happen quickly. As a group overall, we're correctly predicting games at a clip of 53.81%. Last year we were around 55-60% most of the year, so we're not that far off the pace. I'll try and have the Week 8 games up shortly.

                        Total Goals Scored in the North Dakota - Boston University series this weekend (2 games) -
                        Total number of Powerplays in the ECAC on Saturday (3 games) -

                        WEEKLY RULES:
                        1) All picks must be in by the drop of the puck of the FIRST game in the bunch. This week, that is FRIDAY at 7:00pm Eastern!
                        2) No late picks will be allowed. No exceptions. This means that if you post your picks on Friday at 7:10pm Eastern, you will not receive credit for your picks.
                        3) Do NOT pick a tie. If you do, you will lose 2 points.
                        4) All correct picks will earn 2 points (unless stated otherwise). If a game ends in a tie (regardless of shootout), you will receive 1 point, unless you picked a tie, in which case you will LOSE 2 points. DO NOT PICK A TIE.
                        5) If you see a mistake within these rules based on the games selected, please note it as soon as possible. If not pointed out by Wednesday at 8:00pm (Eastern), the mistake will stay, and I will interpret the mistake as soon as possible.
                        6) Anyone can play. You do not have to continue to predict after this week. You didn't have to predict last week.
                        7) If you update your picks before the deadline, please post in this thread to let me know of the changes.

                        **Vegas Style Rules:
                        Pick one of the following three options:
                        (A) Minnesota Duluth @ Minnesota - Minnesota Duluth (If Duluth wins, ties, or loses by 1 goal, you earn 2 points)
                        (B) Minnesota Duluth @ Minnesota - Minnesota (If Minnesota wins by 2 goals or more, you earn 2 points)
                        (C) Minnesota Duluth @ Minnesota - Minnesota Duluth straight up (If Duluth wins, you earn 5 points)
                        All outcomes will fall into one of these three options. If you select an option that is not one of these three options, you will lose two points.
