I just wanted to make sure every know that today, Dec 2nd. I am winning every one of my bets.

1 - STL is currently in 9th in the West. Sure, a single win brings them back into the playoff picture but today, they are out.

2 - Chicago is in 4th place and are just 4 pts out of 1st.

3 - The Leafs are exactly where most outside of TO expected them to be. 27th in the NHL (tied with the horrible Oilers) and 13th in the East.


I am imagining sipping on a beer, paid for by Alex116's $25, reading a post about how wonderful a hockey player Zach Stortini is, and gazing at the Oilers logo as Slozo's avatar.

LOL....love it!

Didn't realize St. Louis had slipped that badly, though i have noticed a severe drop in play on Halak's part. Oshie getting hurt didn't help but he shouldn't make THAT much of a difference. Really, our bet hinges on Halak's performance more than any other player. Well, until they trade for Richards, Iginla and Kaberle

you may be winning every bet, but you had to wait until today to say that. A week ago, you were losing 2 of them.

CHI is currently in 4th, and only 4 points out of first. They're also only 3 points away from 9th . The west is pretty tight right now. And they've played 3-5 more games than everyone else!

STL is missing Perron and Oshie, thats for sure.

Semin, I would have taken that bet back in September. Not now though, DAL might just be that surprise team in the west.

Could I use something like this, I wanna make one Nuxfan:

The bet is that the Canucks won't make the playoffs

I win, Nux changes his avatar to the Flames and writes a post about how it was a mistake for the Canucks not to sign Morrison and how awesome the Flames are.

Nux wins, I change my avatar to the Sedins (if we have it) or the Canucks and I have to write a post about how awesome the Canucks are (which they aren't!)

You in?

There was once a license plate in Toronto that abbreviated "Go Leafs" it read "Golfs".

You should bet on Higher points Flames or Canucks at least. Because if the Canucks do not make the playoffs but still beet the flames the post won't make sense

To touch on Alex116's comments . . . looking into my crystal ball, I see:

1) Toronto trades Kaberle and a prospect to Dallas for Brad Richards.

2) Toronto gets Brad Boyes for Grabovski and Gunnarson.

3) Because of the trades, and return from injury of Phaneuf, the Leafs go on a torrid run as both Boyes and Kessel score more than 30 goals by the end of it. Finish in 8th.

4) Because of the trade, St.Louis' offense is suddenly revived with a slick point man on the pp and a great passer, and they also make the playoffs (7th).

5) At the end of the year, Slozo will gaze fondly at the Leafs avatar beside the name Beans, and chuckle to himself as Beans complains he is broke

I'll take that action if Nuxfan doesn't.

Please keep in mind that as of the date of this post (Dec 3), the Canucks could theoretically have 8 teams above them in the conference and yet still be in the playoffs as the rest of the division is in 10th, 13th, 14th, and 15th. Not a great year for the NW division.

But really gets me is how a fan of the "last in the conference" Flames comes on here to bash the Canucks. It's like a Gobot that talks smack about a Transformer! Makes no sense.

Whoa out there, me first me first!

Just to be clear, you want to bet that the Canucks will not finish in the top 8 in the conference? And I win the bet if the Canucks finish in the top 8 in the conference?

I will take that bet. Avatar swap + essay it is.

Statman - I said a few months back in another thread that the NW division was IMO the weakest in the NHL, and I think that is definitely the case. The only division with 1 team in the current playoff race, and 3 of its teams in the last 3 positions in the conference...boo.

Nux, you have first dibs, so you get to do it.

The bet is if the Canucks don't make the playoffs You change your avatar to the Flames for a month and write a detailed post (at least 200 words) about how awesome the Flames are.

Canucks make the playoffs, you decide my punishment.

All you have to do to put this bet into effect is name your criteria and say "deal".

So, right now the Oilers are trailing their season series with the Flames 2-1 if I recall correctly.

I am betting that the Oil will come back to win the season series 4-2.

I would lose if Calgary won the series 4-2

If it were a draw 3-3 then it would be a wash.

Any takers? I'll accept Avatars or poems (limerick or haiku) about rival players, no money bets please.

The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal.

Doublechamp I'll take your bet !
I bet the kings will not finish first.

If I win, you change your avatar to something wacky (still hvnt looked through them yet hah) and your tag line must be " Dallas Stars or bust !! " for one month :)

and if I lose, I do the same thing for you. You can pick the avatar and what my tag line would be.

accept?!

You know you've made a bad bet when people are fighting for who gets to take it!

By the way I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I don't see doublechamp7's avatar at all. Don't make an avatar bet with a guy who doesn't know how to set up an avatar!

You're on Doublechamp. Since your Signature is spoken for we'll do avatars I guess.

If I win you change your Avatar to anything Oiler Related, as that's who I'm betting on.

If you win I'll change mine to... what?

I'll bet anyone that Montreal places first place in the east. It'll be a close race between Montreal and Pittsburgh, but the habs will take them by a couple of points. As always, Toronto finishes around 9th place.

MrBoodedy.....I'll take that bet. BUT, i'm going to be a gentleman, because i have a soft spot for the Habs, and offer you a better deal. You're simply offering up too much! If you're gonna bet this way, you should make your counterpart pick a team, not simply the other 14 or so that are in the conference!!! Here's my proposal. Being a Canucks fan, i'll bet the Canucks finish higher in the west than the Habs do in the East?
If this is acceptable, what shall the wager be? Wanna do avatar for the playoffs? Signature line for the playoffs? Both? For the entire playoffs, or just till the winner's team is eliminated??? Lemme know what you think......

Mr. Boogedy & Nuxfan do you mind if I jump in on this bet as well or have a separate one with either of you. Being a pens fan and all I will gladly take my pens. I will gladly allow the two of you to agree on whatever stipulations / consequences are to be carried out by the loser simply because i have no issues with either the canucks or habs?

Also, even if you do not allow me to join the bet may I recommend more points at the end of the yr as oppose to positioning?

I know this is completely off topic but i would gladly make bets with pple throughout the yr and i realize a lot of those bets are around changing avatars. And since mine is appearing blank i feel like a DB making bets with someone when i cannot properly display it.

Could one of you kindly let me know where i can go to upload the pic again as i did it when i opened an account but it obviously did not save.

Greatly appreciated and Thank you in advance for whomever chooses to help and my bad for going completely off topic

I will take that, how about loser has to change their avatar to the logo of their least favourite team. Be honest about it though. My least favourite team is the leafs
