  • Re: WCHA Pick 'Em 2019-2020

    What a weekend for mbenecke! First off, his beloved Falcons completed their men's basketball sweep of those despised Toledo Rockets. Then this Bleacher Creature's hockey team had a reasonably successful home stretch. Then he not only wins week 18 with a whopping 30 of 33 points, he storms his way back into first place in the race for the MacNaughton opening up an 11 point lead over MTUHuskyGold. And, along with mikeeddy19, also picked up 10 bonus points by predicting 72 penalties called over the weekend. One piece of advice: buy a Powerball ticket before your luck runs out.

    But that's not the only newsworthy item this week. sonofcrossjcek was a perfect 8-for-8 this weekend and has opened up a 3 game lead over MavHockey14 in the race for the Mason Cup. Does everyone realize we are getting smoked by a kid?

    Here are the bonus and Mason Cup numbers:

    This week's bonus focuses on the final OOC games for the season, and there should be lots of points available.

        The Leaderboard will be down for the day due to server maintenance. We appreciate your patience.

          It will be a couple of days before the leaderboard is back online. Switching ISPs is more challenging than I thought. We'll have to go old school this week. But enough of the Techno-Beaver stuff (Howard Stern reference, not to be confused with BSU), there are lots of week 19 updates. First off, congrats to our co-winners, Icd80 and mikeeddy19 who each posted 31 out of a possible 32 points. WOW! As for the bonus, well DOUBLE WOW as not only were there 9 players who correctly picked 12 total out-of-conference goals, the entire field picked up at least 1 bonus point. That's the first time this has ever happened, so yeah us!

          mbenecke still maintains a 10-point lead over MTUHuskyGold and sonofcrosscjek still holds on to his 3-game lead over MavHockey14 (they both picked identically this week) for the Mason Cup. Turning to playoffs, there's a 5-for-2 race between Soulbeaver, Stauber1, Wi.HuskiesFan, Hatch_man, and puckdude40 for the the last two first-round byes. While not out of it, Footballguy51 and LakerDude will need to make up some ground these next two weeks.

          For the second bonus question, we're looking ONLY for power-play or short handed goals. Extra attacker and empty netters don't factor in. Good luck!

                Hmm...May want to check your spreadsheet again, looked like SonofCrosscheck picked both Ferris State and Northern Michigan incorrectly on Saturday while mavhockey14 correctly picked MTU and Bemj St.

                      OK. Figured it out. Complete and utter brain fart on my end. No scores for the week were affected. The standings and total points weren't affected so the leaderboard is correct. Thank you for catching this MTUHuskyGold and MavHockey14. I simply couldn't compare two numbers properly. SOC's Mason Cup lead is indeed now less than one game.

                            The penultimate week is in the rear view mirror with Hockey John capturing the honors scoring 27 out of a possible 33 points. This week there were 15 away team goals (Mankato beat that number by themselves), 14 power play and short handed goals, and zero 1-goal games with the bonus breakout as follows:

                            MTUHuskyGold is the only player within striking distance of mbenecke for the MacNaughton but will have to overcome 9 points to do it. There is a 5-for-2 fight for the final two first round byes between Stauber1, Soulbeaver, Hatch_man, Wi,HuskiesFan and puckdude40 with MavHockey14 and TUPD likely gearing up for the first round. The fight for the 20th spot (and avoiding the play-in game) is too complicated to figure out with as many as 9 players in contention. With BGSURICK going absent this week, it's still possible for Footballguy51 and Laker Dude to climb their way into the playoff picture.

                            No blood this week in the fight for the Mason Cup. sonofcrossjcek and MavHockey14 posted identical picks.

                            Last week. Do or die. Gut check time. Leave it all on the field. Git 'r done!
