Make your picks
In the comments, give your pick for
- the winner
- “over” or “under” 6.5 total goals scored by both teams
- the game winning goal scorer (based on hockey’s GWG rules; shootout winner does count.)
One point for each correct pick; high score wins. Ties are broken by the last game’s score, and the ones before that if still tied. All 3s win the night regardless of tiebreaker.
Resident Genius: Randy (1st this season).
Last: Kelowna, under, Corbet.
Randy 2 [Kelowna/under]

On this site, it’s a jinx to NOT mention the shutout.
