For those of you going through hockey withdrawal, the wait is finally over !!

The NHL Saturday Night Picks Hockey Pool

New players and alumni alike are welcome to participate. Here are the rules : (with apologies to Schwa for plagiarizing)


Each week I will post a schedule of the NHL Saturday games.

All you have to do is pick 5 teams that you think will win.

For every correct pick, you will be awarded 1 point.

If all 5 of your picks win, you will receive 1 bonus point.

Each week, one of the games will be designated the Game of the Week, and will be worth 2 points.

The maximum amount of points that can be obtained each week is 7 ( 2 points for successfully predicting the Game of the Week; 4 points for successfully predicting the outcome of the 4 other games selected; 1 bonus point for picking 5 winning teams). This is commonly referred to as a "Cool Burn."
Please note there is no obligation to choose the Game of the Week (GOTW) as one of your 5 games. However, if you choose not to include the GOTW as one of your 5 picks, the maximum amount of points you can obtain for the week is 6.

Whoever accumulates the most points during the season will be declared the winner.

The deadline each week is before the puck drops in the earliest scheduled game. In the case of the first week of this pool, the deadline will be 8:00am Korean time, Sunday October 6.

We all take turns selecting the Game of the Week. I'll start things off by selecting the GOTW for the first week. Subsequent GOTW's will be determined by the order in which picks in week 1 were received. When it's your turn to choose the GOTW, please ensure you post it no later than Wed.

Good luck to all !!
