Olympic Hockey 2014 (Prediction League)

Nino likes OT.

You obviously hate OT.

[batdad]

Ties are fine in regulation. Hate shootouts more. Like 5x5 OT in playoff games. 4x4 is okay but should play it til you win.

And yeah...I never bet on OT.

Nino likes OT.

Seems to be the way of things now...the NHL record for ties is 24 (1969–70 Philadelphia Flyers), but look at this year in the NHL! Even though nobody's even played 60 games yet, Washington's had 21 "ties in regulation", NJ 20, Chicago 19, San Jose/Vancouver/Detroit 18, Toronto/Calgary 17...

Finland winning every group stage game without point losses? Now when has that ever happened! (Torino 2006 doesn't count, that was a dream)

Pretty easy group. Canada is a problem. But they never play good in the group stages.

[philou21]

Stamkos will not take part in the Olympics. Doctor says he's not ready. darn it wanted to see him play so bad.

[batdad]

Hoping Marty. But I bet Giroux or Staal get the call. Hope wrong.

[philou21]

Well with that news everyone in QC are freaking out again about picking St-Louis. It's so annoying.

[CJ]

We need more people predicting!

WHich team is Sestito on?

[CJ]

2 hours left to enter a prediction!

Prediction will be closed 2 hour before the CZE - SWE game begins (in 2h). I'll write back when it's closed.
And I'll write up everyones prediction, so there's no point in editing it after that.

Good luck everyone!

Predictions are closed!

[CJ]

Well most of us got 2 out of 2 today (not me ). Congrats to those. No surprises today.

[batdad]

For Never will never bet on overtime again. Both games. OUCH.

[ForNever]

My predicts were unlikely to happen anyways. But yeah, isn't looking good for my part so far, SVK - USA wasn't even close.

[batdad]

4 min in and Canada has not scored. Kill em all.

Oh and Primis is going to be extremely unhappy today. I expect that Sweden's trainers will be fired.

[batdad]

Ah still perfect!!! I RULE. Anyone else still perfect? 9/9 ROCKS!!! (Hey nino--how are those oVertime stats working for you?)

Not so well so far...Finland/Austria wasn't even close, but Sweden/Switzerland was only 1-0 (otherwise I've been right in my picks so far)

In tomorrow's action I predicted/guessed that both the Russia-US game and the Swiss-Czech game will end tied...maybe 2 more I won't get right! HaHa

[batdad]

Yeah I could be in trouble tomorrow. Picked my upset game...

SLovenia to beat Slovakia
Russia to beat USA

Heh. May get both wrong.

[CJ]

jesterx7769, Manimal, coombs14, batdad, CeeBee has all games correct so far.
Me, Lazion, ForNever are last with 7 out of 10. Those stupid draws that never came...

You guys can look at the first post how the standings are.
