2023-24 Prediction Game Thread

All are welcome.


Rules:
1. Predict the winner of the game, the final score and who scores the first goal for the Wild.
1 point for correct winner
2 points for correct score but wrong winner
4 points for correct winner and correct score
3 points for first goal scorer
8 points for a triple whammy - guessing all three correctly
2. If the Wild are shut out, no points are awarded for guessing the goal scorer.
3. If the game is tied 0-0 going to the shootout, the Wild must win for the first goal scorer to be considered. In that case, the player who scores the winning goal of the shootout will be considered the first goal scorer.
4. If you predict the Wild will be shut out, you will not receive any points for guessing a goal scorer (clarification 10/20/19).
5. You are allowed to edit your post as long as it is before the start of the game.
6. Once the puck is dropped, no more predictions will be accepted.
7. If I ever miscount your score or overlook it, please PM me or mention it in the thread.

We have a tie, for the first time ever. @TaLoN had a 3 point game, but @wfode09 put together 5 points to pull even on the last night. This will have to go to the rules committee.

Dual winners? Or making up a tie breaker?

BTW - props to @Sweetnut on the late surge

Suggestions? Should we have co winners? Or some form of OT?

I'm leaning towards co -winners. Both deserve it, and i want to save myself work going through all the post for some sort of tie breaker. Guessing on some non wild game doesn't seem right.

Let me sleep on it. Well done, you two. Pretty clutch on the last night.

I vote for double winners. Both deserve it, congrats to you, @TaLoN and @wfode09 I was debating to go with Kap too, but decided Boldy wanted 30 goals, so I took a shot. 3 winners would have been too much, lol.
At one point in march I was 17 behind, so I'm good with finishing second (Or is it third?)

But the Calder feels nice!

Yeah, you were a late starter and really came on. Great to have you on the board.
