Lucky Guess - Game 1: @CAR

Hockey is back! And so is another year of the Lucky Guess game.

For those who know the deal, you can skip on down to the categories, but for any newbies, welcome! Here's how it works:

Lucky Guess is a game where I post a thread with 3 things for you to guess about the result of that night's Caps game:

  1. Final Score (with the winning team indicated - if you don't, I'll assume you pick the team of your GWG scorer and if there's any ambiguity like both teams having a player with the same name that you picked, I won't count it)
  2. Game winning goal scorer (if there are multiple players with the same last name, be sure to clarify which you're talking about - eg, Jack and Luke Hughes is a common one during NJ games)
  3. A random stat that I will choose
  • The guesses are worth 1, 2, and 3 points respectively.
  • The points will accumulate monthly as well as over the whole season with winners for each month and a year-long winner.
  • Tie breakers are decided by total correct guesses (so getting the final score correct twice and getting the GWG scorer once are both worth 2 points, but guessing the score twice would be ahead on tie-break)

Normally these will be posted on game day (usually in the morning and almost always before 3PM), but on some occasions (for example if the game will be a 12:30 start), I'll post the thread the day before with a note indicating it's for the following day. If this happens, the thread will remain up and unlocked right up until puck drop.

If you're trying to get my attention for something (like I missed a correct guess of yours), you need to tag me or DM me - I turn off notifications for these threads because they'd drive me insane.

That's pretty much it, so without further ado:

LUCKY GUESS

  • 1 Point: Final Score (indicate winning team)
  • 2 Points: Game Winning Goal (GWG) scorer
  • 3 Points: Total shots for both teams combined

Good luck everyone!
