@57special - This reminds me, I think it was discussed about a bonus for predicting a shutout?

It was something to be added this year since it was brought up halfway through last year.

Otherwise you could never technically get a triple whammy, but pretty sure predicting the exact score / winner and a shutout should still be triple whammy equivalent... if you predict a shutout loss, but not the exact score, treat it the same as getting both the winner and goalscorer?

I debated that a few times. Technically you're getting a little bit less correct so maybe it's like a mini-whammy where you get 6 or something?

But I'm not in charge anymore so I don't have to make the call.

I could see that...

How would you handle each possible outcome on that? You're not running the game, but you're still the guru of it at this point.

@57special gets to decide though.

Good question. I don't think you want to complicate the scoring too much. So I have no idea.

Maybe just drop from 3pts to 1 point on the goal scorer portion if predicting a shutout, and add everything else the same?

Correct score wrong winner 2pts remains the same
Wrong score correct winner 5pts, because it comes with the predicted shutout, adding that 1 extra point.
If a mini-whammy, 6pts, not as hard as the full whammy since the full whammy needs one of 20 to score to be predicted.

Seems simple enough, correct? Thoughts?

You don't have to be like this just because your Mom won't let you stay up for the game.
