Congratulations to NoClue who won the week with a whopping 25 points - 4 points ahead of the second best finisher. Wow and congrats! Stick taps to Footballguy51 and Section P who were the only contestants to correctly pick the Tech/Northern split. Also, congratulations to NoClue who with this weekly win now finds themselves atop the leaderboard with mbenecke now lurking just 2 points back.
On to the bonus. At the time these results are being published the CCHA is listing 16 special teams goals while both USCHO and CHN are listing 15. As Meatloaf says, two out of three ain't bad so the staff at Pick 'EM HQ will go with the majority of 15 special teams goals. On Friday, 4,163 fans crammed into the Berry to see Tech top Northern while on Saturday 4,071 fans stuffed themselves into the Mac to see the 'Cats upset the Huskies. Add 'em up and you get 8,101 - 8,300. Hats off to Berger21 and NoClue who were a perfect 10 on the bonus this week! Here's how the bonus paid out:
In the Race for the Sauer, iowabasedtraveller remains atop the leaderboard though there are now three contestants lurking just two points back:
NoClue remains in the lead in the Battle for the Beagan with mbenecke and MTUHuskyGold in second/third:
There are only 5 weeks remaining in the regular season. Bracketology will be making its first appearance in the couple of weeks.

Let's give it up for our week 17 winner beaverhockeyfan who won the week with 24 points. Very nice! Also, let's give a vigorous round of stick taps to John J. MacInnes who, out of two ties on the weekend, was the only contestant to pick up any points from the Bowling Green/Notre Dame series. As Dan Rather would say, "Courage!" If you were wondering, six contestants correctly picked Northern to win on Friday. "Courage!"
We have a new leader at the top of the standings, mbenecke posted 22 points on the week to take over the top spot from NoClue by 2 points. It looks like this is going to be a dogfight all the way to the finish. Puckdude40 is making a late run, 13 points back - is there enough time to catch the leaders? Same with iowabasedtraveller who slipped a bit this week.
At the 5:52 mark of the third period on Friday (45:52 total elapsed time), BG's Noah Morneau scored the game tying goal in South Bend. At the 19:51 mark of the second period on Saturday (39:51 total elapsed time), BG's Brayden Crampton scored the game tying goal in Bowling Green. Add 'em up and divide by 2 and you get 42:52 which equals 43 minutes when rounded up to the next minute. Congratulations to John J. MacInnes who hit the nail on the head and picks up all 5 bonus points. Here's how the bonus paid out this week:
And with that 4-point performance this week we now see Icd80 in the drivers seat in the Race for the Sauer with longtime leader iowabasedtraveller trailing by 2 points and StevieYNot and iwearpurple lurking just 4 points back.
Since the field did such a rotten job last time we did total PIM's we'll run it again - but with only 6 games this time. We gotta do better on this one, gang.
In the Battle for the Beagan NoClue remains in first though mbenecke has made up some ground.
There are only 4 weeks left in the regular season.

Roll along you BG Warriors!
Week 18 congratulations go out to BillyLP who walked away a winner by posting a score of 20!! Stick taps go to Berger21 and iwearpurple who were the only two contestants to pick Ferris to win over Bemidji on Friday and went 3-for-3 on the Friday picks. Also, stick taps to a lot of contestants who went 3-for-3 on the Saturday picks. Unfortunately, those sets were mutually exclusive; no one scored 100% on the final this week. With three weeks left in the season mbenecke still remains the leader with NoClue in second though iowabasedtraveller is making a late season push.
We reran the PIM bonus this week since the first time we did it no one got any points. Not this time, folks. There were a cool 100 penalty minutes on the weekend aided by two 10-min misconduct penalties in the BG/St. Thomas series (one for a really scary hit on Friday and one 'cause a dude shot a puck at the ref after the final whistle blew on Saturday). Three contestants got this one correct so let's give it up for BillyLP, iowabasedtraveller, and Soulbeaver! Here's how the bonus played out:
The Race for the Sauer is now very different from last week. iowabasedtraveller now leads the way with 39 bonus points with Soulbeaver lurking just 4 opints back[/b]. Here's how it looks this week:
In the Battle for the Beagan there was no movement between the top contestants; NoClue still leads mbenecke with puckdude40 in third.
There's no bonus question this week, the yearly bonus will be added to everyone's scores instead. Also, later in the week the first bracketology will be posted.
