Well, not the best week for us this week. Collectively, we predicted at a clip of 43.81%. That brings our overall percentage down to 55.53%. Hopefully next week brings better predictions.
As for the bonus questions, here are the answers:
Shots on Goal by NCHC Teams on Saturday - 196 (nobody got this correct, but several people earned points)
PP or EAG by WCHA teams on Friday - 7 (97osu got this correct, along with several others earning bonus)
97osu had a perfect Friday (5-0-0, plus the correct bonus), but went 0-5-0 on Saturday. It was pretty typical for our group, as people generally had either a bad day on Friday or Saturday, but did better the other day. Driftryder, aygwm2, and myself each went 6-4-0 this weekend, the "best" out of the group.
This marks the first time since Week 7 that 4th place is 10 points or closer to 2nd place. There are 5 weeks left in the regular season (for all conferences), plus 5 weeks of post season play. Lots of points still up for grabs!
Week 17 games coming up shortly...

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 6:30pm Eastern!
2) No late picks will be allowed. NO EXCEPTIONS. This means that if you post your picks on that Friday at 6:31pm Eastern, you will not receive credit for your picks.
3) Do NOT pick a tie. If you do, you will lose 4 points.
4) All correct picks will earn 4 points (unless stated otherwise). If a game ends in a tie (regardless of shootout), you will receive 2 points, unless you picked a tie, in which case you will LOSE 4 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, January 29th 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.

NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.
Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."
