Pre-Game Talk: NPPG: Game 1 Carolina at Nashville

[Drake744]

On a related note, this is obviously easier to do in hockey than basketball, but when I used to post on the LA Clippers message boards they had a game where people would try and guess the score of the games and throughout the season there were standings kept to follow who got the most right. I would think in hockey there would be a lot of people getting the scores right throughout the year so if anyone wants to play that also this season I can keep up with that if people want to try it.

 

[Filip Forceberg]

I guess I'll take Arvidsson.

Can we maintain a running list of players who have already been selected in the OP?

 

[Jonesey]

Hmm, slim pickens so give me Ekholm

Ekholm's been picked.

 

[Jonesey]

I would think (IMO) that you should be allowed to pick the same player more than once, letting Forsberg get picked by 10 people if that's what happens, but I think the rule of not being able to pick the same player twice in a row still makes sense.

I don't know how much fun that would be since most people would pick the same 2-3 players..

Maybe you can only pick the same player once every 5 or 10 games?

 

[Jonesey]

I guess I'll take Arvidsson.

done.

 

[lstcyr]

I'd like Jones please.

 

[Jonesey]

Surprised no one has picked a G or a Cane yet.

 

[gratefulpred]

Ekholm's been picked.

D'oh!

I will take Pekka in that case

 

[Jonesey]

Sounds good. I will make a rule change though.

Going forward, you cannot pick a player that you have picked in the last 5 games. Basically that keeps me from going Forsberg then Neal then Forsberg then Neal, etc..

 

[Paranoid Android]

Eric Staal

 

[Adz]

Jackman.

I like to start slow then come on strong at the finish...or I'm just late to the party, take your pick.

 

[Jonesey]

There's always next game.

 

[King Weber]

I'll pick Elias Lindholm

 

[Discipline Daddy]

As a Carolina Hurricanes fan, I pick Carter Hutton.

 

[Jonesey]

As a Carolina Hurricanes fan, I pick Carter Hutton.

ha.. I bet you would like to see Hutton.

 

[GeauxPreds]

gonna go with ekholm.

 

[Jonesey]

gonna go with ekholm.

He's been picked already.

 

[Cashville]

It says you can pick from both teams. I was wondering the same though. What happens if more than 46 people pick?

Oh damn it; would not have picked Ekholm if I knew I could do Canes folks. Whatever, let's roll with it so I can reign supreme when Matty nails a hat trick and fights the entire CAR team.

 

[Predatorbill]

Versteeg

 

[Jonesey]

Closed.
