Pre-Game Talk: The 2022-2023 First Goal of the Game and Puppy Pic Thread (Use link in OP to submit picks)

[Unlimited Chequing]

Continuing on with the time honoured tradition, the First Goal of the Game game is underway!

---> ---> ---> CFHF's "First Goal of the Game" Game <--- <--- <---​

1. Pick the two players you think may get the first goal, along with the situation (Even Strength, Power Play, Short Handed, Penalty Shot)
2. Pick one player you think may get the game winner, along with the situation (Even Strength, Power Play, Short Handed, Penalty Shot)
3. Enter your HF username
4. Hit submit

Format:
- Your first pick gets you 5 points
- Your second pick gets you 3 points
- The game winner gets you 1 point
- Guessing the correct scoring situation gets you a bonus point
- Picking 'shutout' or 'loss' gets you eternal damnation

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.*

This year I've added one more category: guessing the game winner! You don't need to get the first goal scorer to get the game winner point. Consider this the "loser point" of the "First Goal of the Game" game haha

I stopped playing this game when I found out I wasn't going to get hideously rich if I won. Major disappointment which led to a depression related mental breakdown. I do like the dog pics though... especially the Golden Retriever ones. That helps with my ongoing recovery.

Awesome @Unlimited Chequing I was hoping you'd do this again. Thanks for your time and effort.

@Unlimited Chequing GWG isn't available on the page today?
I only see 2 choices for first goal.
Actually there's no enter button either. I can't submit.
