Offseason Diagnosis: Final Standings

So, the final standings at last come! My apologies in how they've been coming -- I've been working my ass off, then in Mexico (Cabo) for the last week on vacation. I have quite a backlog of games to watch!

Standings

thedoctor: 17
Joe: 17
Americanario: 16
Tommelot: 16
DD: 15
Dario: 15

I win!!!! ...and so does Joe, but the tiebreaker goes to me with my guess of 51.5m (nhlnumbers puts us at 51.008).

Actually, everyone is grouped within a 2 point range, which I find fairly remarkable and awesome. Technically, there are some unanswered questions on the list -- the Forsberg ones -- that could change the final standings, but I'm just not willing to wait that long. Anybody disagree?

So Joe owes me a beer at the Official MHH game*, whenever that is. The KYGO Puck Pass events (2 lower bowl tickets + 2 drinks + $10 at the gift store for $100) are actually all on Ticketmaster even into next year, may I suggest one of those? Let's get the ball rolling on this and we can all decide if we want to out ourselves in person. :)

* Maybe. If he wants to.

Star-divide

(My guesses in parens still, italics for wrong, bold for correct.  If a question depends on another response, obviously the dependent guess is null and void for the competition.  On numerical responses, it's the closest.  Each right/closest answer gets a point.  Ties all get a point.)

You all suck

I can’t believe none of you got Finger’s cap #

I believe in Peter Budaj

Not even Finger would’ve guessed it. From an accountant/buisiness point of view, Finger is Money!

IN YO FACE, DD AND DARIO!!!!
Okay, I know I didn’t win, but I never get to brag about anything.

Talk to my law school professors and ask them when they’re going to finally let up.

We’ll see. I think I’m shooting for March sometime.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!
