Edmonton wins the division and only plays 81 games, no wonder they are a favorite

Also somehow Edmonton finished with less OTLs than they currently have

Yesterday the Buzztron record was 104-75. Which is already inaccurate to pad your record.

Then you went 1-5.

So the new record should be 105-80 right? Simple math. Nope. Instead, you have 105-76. So that's 4 more losses that just magically disappear. That's the 5th time you've done that. You corrected one error. The others just get ignored.

Oilers win the tiebreaker because they accomplished this in just 81 games.

That's kind of a hard thing to tell as his Buzztron doesn't show the final ROW, he is predicting the Oilers to go 6 wins, 1 loss and -1 OTL (somehow) in their next 7, and Van 3 wins and 3 loses in their next 6. So Oilers could finish with more ROW. Also as someone else pointed out he made the bold prediction that the Oilers would only play 81 games and less games played is the first tie breaker.

It doesn't really matter. Last night he went 1-5...but when he updated the totals he just used 1-1.

So 0-4 probably ends up being 2-0. It's what makes the Buzztron so brilliant.

Incorrect. Tie breaker goes to winning %. And with same points in less games the Oilers would have a higher winning %. Head to head comes further down the tie breaker.

Ek, when you update your 3-8 record...make sure to fix Friday when you went 1-5 but " conveniently" just added 1 single loss to the cumulative record. So that's 4 missing losses. Not to mention the 3 previous ones from the past. I'm really pulling for Buzztron to break 50% this year!

In before he says he got BOS/FLA and TOR/MTL correct because he doesn't seem to understand that predicting a W in OT when it's a regulation win, or vice versa, doesn't count as being correct.
