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.*

What is your suggestion?

Yeah it's definitely a luck game. Lately I've been mostly picking "secondary" scorers cause the guys we're supposed to depend on haven't been stepping up.

I think one point for picking a loss is fine but GWG should get more points. Maybe 3.

As it is right now, it doesn’t make sense to pick anything except loss. The odd is 10x better.

For example today the Flames have a 50% chance of winning. Even if they win, you have at best a 10% chance of picking the right guy

Okay, you make a good point. The current points are just an accumulation of changes that happened over the last handful of seasons. We can discuss and revise all the points/bonuses before next season.
