2023 - 2024 OHL playoff prediction thread

[dirty12]

I so want to pick Oshawa. But, with some unknowns surrounding Punnet, Senneke and others? I don’t have the same sort of confidence I would in that pick had Oshawa been relatively healthy.

I would actually consider Oshawa a solid favourite if Punnet was healthy knowing Lawrence and Sim miss games 1-4. But without Punnet, the D corps of Oshawa is imo weak for any team beyond round two.

 

[twinsdad]

Oshawa in 5 (not really believing this, but in order to tie for first place...)

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Prediction opposing fans whining about opposing players. Calling into question their manhood, calling them soft, floppers, divers. Series ends in 10-12 days.

Prediction entries for the 4th round are now closed.

 

[Opinionated]

if we both stay the same best I can hope is a tie…. Could you kindly pick the Shwa for the W?!

I really wanted to, but logic outlasted passion, and left me picking London.

 

[ohloutsider]

Will not be able to tabulate results until sometime Friday ( if London wins tonight). I have to head out of town for a sad event. Be safe.

Thoughts are with you @ohloutsider be well

 

[nelli27]

London in three. Oshawa concedes defeat.

Worth 3 points!

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Congratulations @Opinionated ! Happy to share the crown this year at 20points if my math is right?

Is the tiebreaker calling the men cup?

Congratulations to everyone and to the 2 winners.
As suggested let's do a tie breaker with the M- cup

1 point if you pick the winner correctly and 1 point for the closest to the final amount of total goals in the final game.

Once again thanks for playing on. Let's do it again next year!

Ok! When would the deadline be to submit?

 

[ohloutsider]

Ok! When would the deadline be to submit?

Friday at 7, next week. And just for you and opinionated.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Okay, I am locking in first with a Knights win! total goals 6.

 

[All the Answers]

My conference finals round killed me. Only one out of four possible points. Congrats to the co-winners, and thanks for keeping tabs, outsider!

 

[Opinionated]

Drummondville, total of 5 goals

Let the games begin!

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

The hilarious thing here is we may tie again! lol!

 

[HockeyPops]

How can you tie with those picks?

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Knights in 5
Drummondville in 6

Otherwise we are good!

 

[twinsdad]

How can you tie with those picks?

Saginaw with 4 goals? Nevermind, you are correct.

 

[Opinionated]

How can you tie with those picks?

A Saginaw or Moose Jaw win, with total goals of anything but 5 or 6, and we're still tied.

 

[twinsdad]

1 point if you pick the winner correctly and 1 point for the closest to the final amount of total goals in the final game.

It's the word "closest" that I missed the first time through.

 

[ohloutsider]

Well I thought of another way to ensure a winner if you both are willing to change this tie breaker format?

We will conduct a " draft" where both of you get 2 picks for the winning team. Opinionated would pick first and then GoKnightsgo44 would then pick 2nd and 3rd. Opinionated would have the 4th pick.

The logic behind opinionated pick first is because he led after the 3rd round so would hold honours.

That way someone is guaranteed to pick the winning team.

Let me know if you are willing to change as both need to agree.

Rather than giving me first pick, GoKnights has already picked first when he picked London (that may or may not have been my first choice).

If everyone is in agreement, I will select second (and have, picking Drummondville), and with the third pick will select Moose Jaw.

Of course, if GoKnights wants me to select first I can, but he might lose his home team pick . . . it's up to him if he wants to take that chance.


No need for total goals if we go this route.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

I like the original version better tbh… if it ends in a tie it’s meant to be lol!

If I change picks now I may find the rath of the hockey gods!

 

[ohloutsider]

So it's not a consensus so we will stick with the original format. Let the games begin.

Fyi if we have a tie next year I will likely use version 2.
