Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Sunday Site Bookkeeping and Prediction Contest Update

It's time to update our season-long WIIM Prediction Contest leaderboard (like I said I'd do last weekend.. yeah, sorry about that. But first, we've got to do just a little bit of bookkeeping. We didn't have a poll for the PotG winner for Friday's game against Buffalo and we need your votes to decide on that.Voting is below, but first, let's go over who tops the scoreboard to this point.

Our leaders through 23 of the 24 games the Wings have played to this point are as follows

Name Points
Darthferrer 10
RandomWingsDude 10
Elfuego51 7
Jason T
6
Kendal 6
Holmstrom96 5
Igorzba 5
Ethrdemon 4
gander 4
Jesus El-Daboo 4
DRWfan 4

Congrats to Darthferrer for being the only person to correctly hit two bonus predictions to this point in the season, coming on strong to hit the Boston and Tampa Bay games recently. Meanwhile, RandomWingsDude has one correct bonus prediction, but has easily been the most consistent guesser this season, with at least one prediction right in seven of the 23 games we've counted.

Atop the individual prediction standings, Igorzba and RandomWingsDude have each correctly predicted three scores. Correctly hitting the player of the game prediction, our own Random Nostradamus joins Jason T and Holmstrom96 at the top of that category with 5 apiece.

If you don't see your name up there, take heart. There's a good chance you're one of the 45 people who have either 1 or 2 points and, as Darthferrer has proven over the last four games, you can make up ground very quickly. So keep those predictions coming and don't forget to vote for the player of the game against Buffalo.

I had the double bonus Friday until Buffalo scored

3-0, Howard. Although, I wasn’t completely optimistic about the score holding since that’s how the 1st period ended.

It should be Datsyuk

He had a much bigger influence on the game.

Now that Datsyuks hot...

I may have to change my lazy PotG predictions to him. But the text field already has a dropdown for Lidstrom…

Where to Predict

OK I’m just lazy or dumb. I can’t find the locale to post my wrong prediction. Any help?

Thanks

Found it once before, but now I know thanks @Al

Last season...

I started off strong and when you guys posted how people where doing I could not get a correct prediction to save my life.

by Darthferrer on Dec 4, 2011 1:44 PM CST reply actions  

Mwahaha

all part of our plan!

It was impressive getting two bonuses so close together. I don’t think anybody’s done that.

by J.J. from Kansas on Dec 4, 2011 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

Huzzah!

And if Howard gets PotG for the Buffalo game (which looks like he will), I should have another bonus prediction, right?

by RandomWingsDude on Dec 4, 2011 3:07 PM CST reply actions  

You’d get one point, but you missed the score prediction.

by J.J. from Kansas on Dec 4, 2011 4:36 PM CST up reply actions  

Okay, yeah, that’s what I thought.

by RandomWingsDude on Dec 4, 2011 6:23 PM CST up reply actions  

5-2 Detroit, Filppula

Hopefully Val keeps up the good work… figure Datsyuk’s line will cancel out Av’s top line, leaving Z and Val to run roughshod all over the ice. Hopeful that Conner and Helm keep up the good work.

by Jason T on Dec 4, 2011 3:26 PM CST reply actions  

Woohoo! Completely bottom of the list with 3!

In fairness, the last 7 games I have been picking Smith, even if he hasn’t been playing. It seems to be a good luck charm….

As someone who's recently started these predictions

What’s the scoring system for them? Something like 1 or 2 points for correct game score, 1 point for correct POTG?

by Rockdan on Dec 4, 2011 6:13 PM CST reply actions  

you get

1 point for getting either the player or the score correct.

If you get both correct for the same game, you get 4 points for that.
