"Call The Shot" Playoff Challenge

[Anybodyhome]

Here it is, just in time for the post-season. There is a new wrinkle to the challenge that was not in play during the regular season.

You may call a shutout by naming either goalie, Carolina or the opponent, as your pick. You cannot make a goal scoring pick, only one pick per game is allowed. If you pick Freddie, for example, you are calling him to put up a shutout and that is your pick for the game. No others allowed.

16 wins are needed to win the Cup, let's see if someone can get at least 16 correct picks for the post-season!

@Anybodyhome what’s the rule if say…

Either side pulls a goalie, or goalie injury, etc and someone picked a goalie by name. 

IE: a goalie pitched a shutout but leaves due to injury, and the other team scores on the replacement. Should we add a caveat goalie must finish the game to be considered for a shutout? Or should we just consider it by team shutout?
 

Sorry to throw a wrench in there.

To keep things simple, we'll call it a team shutout. In reality, goalies are not tagged with empty netters on their stat sheet; and goalies who are replaced during the game are only tagged with the loss if they gave up the game winner to the other team. So, in order to keep the complications in check, we'll call it a team shutout. 

If anything happens out of the ordinary, we'll have to take it under review. Hope this helps.

So I’ll have to pick my player today because I’m out tmrw.  But I’m still confused. Do we pick you gets first goal or is this just for goalie for all teams?

It’s first goal but you can call a shutout instead if you want.

I’m going first game shutout with Freddie due to heavy checking and spending most of the night in our offensive zone.

You pick first goal as we've done thus far, or...

You may pick a goalie for a shutout.

You cannot pick both. Either a shooter with first goal or a goalie with a shutout.

You know what I’m going to go out there. Martinook… with rights reserved to change to KK if I’m feeling it and he’s still centering a line before puck drop tomorrow.
