Was only kidding. It is good to be wrong that way

I know you were, boo, but I agree.

Very happy to be wrong with Couts, G and Jake.

It's funny -- I remember talking with you last post season, wondering if Couts could get to 40 ES points. IIRC, we both came to the same conclusion -- we didn't know.

I don't think anyone saw this coming from G or Coots.

I always thought that Couturier had it in him to be a 20 goal 45-50 point player and maybe with usage on PP1 he could get to 25+ goals and 60-65 points. I'm flat out thrilled that he exceeded my expectations!

I expected a healthy Giroux to bounce back, but I was figuring on 20-25 goals and 70-80 points max. What he did however, was simply fantastic!!

WTF??? Why is the Golf channel airing NHL playoff games? This has to be some kind of a joke right? I mean it's great every playoff game will be televised. But the golf channel? Really? I don't get it. Is Feherty doing pbp?

Since it is a Devils game does anyone really notice?

Is it only airing Devils games? That doesn't matter then. If I want to watch them I live in the MSG market I can watch the local feed.

I felt G would bounce back based on the end of the season finally healthy G but seriously, no one could have possibly predicted 102 points.

Fat skater needs to be taken out back.

Imo.

why does it matter which channel is showing the games as long as they are on?

Some channels aren't on every provider.

I guess since the Devils will be playing golf soon, it's apropos they are on the Golf Channel.

The parent company of NBC, NBCSN, Comcast and Golf Channel among others.

I only learned Golf Channel was part of that when I was surfing by one day and saw the logo with the silly peacock.

Now I have to go hunting for channels I never watch to find these games. Such an inconvenience. The Flyers/Pens series will all be on NBCSN I'm sure. With Pierre and the A-team.

An Eagles fan making a Giants joke is akin to a garbage man making fun of Jeff Bezos for being bald.

Nope. Go to the NHL channel (or your favorite sports channel) and pop up the score guide. You can navigate to the games from there without giving one hoot what the actual channel is called.

I guess that is true. I have the sports package included so I get all of that.

(I posted this earlier this season, but wanted to post at the end). This year, I made point predictions on each player I thought was going to be in the top 9. Here is what my predictions were vs the actual production.

Name G/A/TP (ES Points) Actual points bolded
Voracek -23g,45a,68p (32 ES) 20g,65a,85p (50 ES)
Giroux - 15g,50a, 65p (40 ES) 34g, 68a, 102p (66 ES)
Simmonds - 29g, 26a, 55p (27 ES) 24g, 22a, 46p (28 ES)
Couts - 20g, 26a, 46p (40 ES) 31g, 45a, 76p (62 ES)
TK - 15g, 24a, 39p (31 ES) 24g, 23a, 47p (44 ES)
Patrick 12g, 20a, 32p (28 ES) 13g, 17a, 30p (22 ES)
Weal - 13g, 20a, 33p (28 ES) 8g, 13a, 21p (18 ES)
Filppula - 12g, 25a, 37p (30 ES) 11g, 22a, 33p (27 ES)
Lindblom -10g, 10a, 20p, 2g, 4a, 6p (5 ES)

w/ Lindblom, I thought he would come up and get 45gp, but he only got 23.

That's not bad. That's about what I would have done, except for Patrick. I thought he was going to be more productive, but that was aggressive on my part, not a failing of his
