the latest Hockey-L Prediction Contest Update! (OK, stop throwing the confetti, we're way over budget.) On the heels of a decent weekend (WVU 34-10 over Missou, UT 10-9 over WSU, and MSU 29-10 over UW [gee, if I'd have known we were going to play like that, I could have made a FORTUNE]), I'm actually in a pretty good mood. Which means I wouldn't mind processing some more entries for the Contest, except that my mailbox is EMPTY!!! At the moment, we have 19 entries in the first annual Regular Season Contest, which isn't too bad considering the deadline is still 11 days away. From what I've seen of the entries (and I have been a little lax in "actually" tabulating them lately), they're still all over the ballpark. A few teams at the ends of the spectrum are agreed on by the majority, but anything in the middle is far from settled. I have enclosed another entry form at the end of this message. Remember, the deadline is: OCTOBER 14, 1994 at 5:00PM EDT I have received entries so far from: Tony Buffa Andrew Frisch Don Demick Bob Constantine Chris Paine John McCumiskey Steve Moerland Tark McMains Rich Boehme Kristen Robinson Anthony Frolik Eric Maiwald Curt Nelson (I still need the tiebreaker) Tim Newman Andrew Peed Greg Williams Glenn Gale John Forsyth I. R. Rutks I also included "Drop the Puck"'s predictions in, to see how the "publications" would do. I would also welcome entries based on TCHCR, CHODR, and any other computer programs which may be out there. BTW, Mr. Fenwick, when's the Preseason Poll coming out? G. M. Finniss Michigan State University- Contest Central WVU (2-4) '87, UT (2-3) '92, MSU (2-2, should be 3-1) who the hell knows when? 12 days (TWELVE DAYS!!!!!!!) until faceoff against BG.... (For those of you who are familiar with MSU's campus, that damn siren [you know, first working day of the month at 12:30] is going off. Good thing they never schedule disasters for the first of the month, or we'd all be screwed.) _____________________________________________________________________________ Hockey-L Regular Season Prediction Contest Entry Name: Team you mostly follow: E-mail address: HOCKEY EAST ECAC 1. 1. 2. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4. 5. 5. 6. 6. 7. 7. 8. 8. 9. 9. 10. 11. 12.
