Game 3 of 32: Hurricanes scored 2 goals. That automatically means the Kings lost.
Game Headline: “The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!”
Congratulations to CB14 for being the great seer of the group! Exacta baby! Nice job. A small stick tap to myself for being the only sooth-slayer left with a perfect record, although that is certain to change… or is it?
Standings are determined by wins/losses first, then plus/minus and then the exacta could end up being the tie-breaker. NOTE: Regulation, Overtime or Shootout predictions do not affect a perfect score. It’s still an exacta. If you see any errors, please email me or comment here.
The plus/minus works like this: You get a -1 for every goal you’re off. If you’re off by 2 goals for one team and 1 goal for the other, then that’s a -3. You get a +1 for predicting one correct score. You get a +1 for predicting the total number of goals correct. Or you get a +3 for predicting the exact score (exacta).

wave’s notes: It’s looking pretty grim early on for the ‘expert panel’ of bloggers, with 5 of the 7 sites at the very bottom of the standings. I’m happy to say ‘Team Deep’ is holding their own, however. Along with the Queen (Meg). There’s a LONG way to go, but one thing is clear… the plus/minus is going to get out of control. Anybody anywhere near Even will do quite well for themselves. Most of us will be doing our best ‘Jack Johnson’ impersonation.
Repost alert. Had to do it. I’m brainwashing you all…….
Geezus. After continually watching this team struggle to score, I think its Murray’s brainwashing still affecting them. Gotta be. I have no doubts now. The fix? You know what I’m gonna say……
Tony Robbins.
Call him. He’ll get the Murray stink outa them. Money well spent.
What’s the worst that can happen? All the Kings meowing on all fours on the ice after an opponents goal?
@Kingsfanone:
Re-reply alert…
Ha! Good stuff KF1. Tony would TOTALLY turn this club around! I mean that too.
@wavesinair:
See how this brainwashing gig works?
My next prediction: 3-1 Kings (I’m a glutton for punishment), But this should put me back up near the top. I think the Kings come out of this roadtrip over .500, and 3 losses in a row means they end up .500 or less on this 6 game trip.
