I totally stole this from 100 Third Graders, I have thought it was a good idea since midway through last season.

Rules:

UPDATED PLEASE READ
Each person gets to make two picks per game. There are 2 options: Option A: 1 'favorite' and 1 'dark horse' in which case you can win 2 points for the favorite or 4 points for the dark horse. Or option B: 2 'dark horses', in which case you can win 3 points for either of the picks. A favorite is any player that is more likely to score a goal, the dark horse being someone less likely.

The list of players considered favorites for now are:
Jiri Hudler
Sean Monahan
Johnny Gaudreau
Michael Frolik

For clarity this means You can pick any player as your favorite pick, but cannot choose any of the players listed above as a dark horse. They used 5 guys, but I decided to go with 4 as #5 in goals per game last year was Mason Raymond

Points are awarded as follows:
Option A: Dark horse (4 points)
Option B: Dark horse (3 points)
Option A: Favorite (2 points)
Pick Flames to be shutout (1 point plus eternal damnation)
If you select the right situation [ES, PP, PK] (1 bonus point)

You can only pick Flames players to score the first goal of the game. Opposing team's players do not count. Pick 2 different players

An example of how your pick should look is:

If you choose option 1:
Favorite: Hudler (PP)
Dark Horse: Kulak (ES)

If you choose option 2:
Dark Horse: Raymond (PK)
Dark Horse: Engelland (PP)

Once the official game time* has passed, no more picks are allowed. Please make sure to get your picks in ahead of time to be fair to everyone. Good luck!

*Official game time is the scheduled start of the game as stated by the NHL (and Calgary Flames) schedule. You will find it included in the thread title.

Flames 1st Goal Leaders:

1. Jiri Hudler - 3
2. Dougie Hamilton- 2
3. Mikael Backlund - 1
-- Mark Giordano - 1
-- David Jones - 1
-- Sean Monahan - 1
-- Mason Raymond - 1
