This will be an ongoing season-long thread showing the "consensus" selections from our 12 man NHL contest thread.

Since contestants can post their selections at any time up to the puck drop on day's final scheduled game, the "consensus" on any given evening could change, or it could even see some selections be disqualified if in favor at say, 7pm EDT and then by west coast games, contrary selections result in removing a game off that night's consensus.

THUS, the bottom line is that this "consensus" should mainly be used as another indicator in anyone's handicapping of NHL.

====
In order to qualify as a Consensus selection, the Side or Total must be chosen by at least three contestants and must be at least +3

If selected by:

Three or four contestants: 3-0, or 4-0
Five contestants: 4-1 or better
Six contestants: 5-1 or better
Seven: 5-2 or better
Eight: 6-2 or better
Nine: 6-3 or better
Ten: 7-3 or better
Eleven: 7-4 or better
Twelve: 8-4 or better


ANY MEMBER of our contest is welcome to post the "Consensus" of the moment prior to 7pm EDT starts.
Sometime between 630-700pm EDT is probably best.

I'll do my best to use my Moderator editing powers to modify that post during the course of the evening as any later contestant entries are posted.

And I'll also keep up with the daily summaries and SeasonToDate tallies.

Leaving now for a comedy show in Tampa...If anyone else wants to check out and post potential consensus picks from tonight's contest thread, go for it. I'll review upon my return about 11pm and summarize final tally

Thanks barman! I actually wish I had time to update consensus picks, but after this month I'm going to be too busy to do so. Is there something I can provide you with that would make the task easier?

Today was a consensus antithesis.

11 posters were all over the board on all 5 games. The only thing not selected was either the over or under on the Pitt/Carolina game.

Closest to a consensus play we had was 3-1 on L.A. (loser), and 3-1 on the under of the same game, (loser).

EDITING TO ADD:

yummy

As I look at the above fivepack and then at my own personal 0-3 in today's contest, I'm inspired to henceforth place a real world $5 parlay which Fades all my contest selections on days when I use three or four choices.

Today, that would have paid me a friendly $35.50 and would sure ease the groaning pain I felt upon learning I was taking the OhFer in today's contest thread

2-4 (-2.00)

Oh, for simplicity, I'll be using the Closing line as shown on Covers.com scoreboard since our Contest selection prices might vary during the day.

In case anyone's interested:

Tonight Saturday Oct 17

COL 4-1
DAL 3-0

Also notable:

BOS-PHX under (2-0)
TBL (2-0)
NYR (2-0)
OTT (3-1)

SportSavant could still place a bet on DAL/CHI or BOS-PHX total and change the consensus.
