Predicting the Playoffs Results

Right before the playoffs started, I asked many of you to make a bunch of predictions as to the result, and assigned points based on the questions. Here is the final writeup on that, but first, congratulations to the winners:

@jonassiegenthaler with 21 points

@elizaiwillbe with 19 points, 9 correct answers, and 7:12 off from the longest game

@seedlessmuffins with 19 points, 9 correct answers, and 18:54 off from the longest game

More info on how the whole thing went down under the cut:

Here are the individual question results:

Hopefully the way I phrased each question in the chart makes sense. Let’s discuss some interesting trivia from the chart.

After seeing the results of last years’ game, one thing I wanted to do was to make it easier: have more opportunities to gain points, so we would have a wider distribution of results and higher scores. I would say I was fairly successful in the attempt, with the exception of one question, near the end of the quiz. It was phrased “by the end of the playoffs, which goalie will have the best win%? They do not need to have played in the Cup Final.” Adhering to the rules of the question, the correct answer is Joseph Woll, who played 2 games in the first round and won them both. However, no one guessed this; I assume it is not because people are unaware of Joseph Woll, who is widely beloved as A Sweetie, but rather because a large win percentage generally assumes a team that goes far in the playoffs and, well, Woll is a Leaf. I think when writing this question I also had this in mind, probably being distantly aware of the off-chance something like this might occur but not believing it likely enough to include. That being said, while it’s technically the correct answer to the question, it feels wrong, so in future quizzes that question’s going to be changed.

The answer the most people picked correctly was the winner of the CAR-NYI series, which 114 people -- 87% -- picked correctly. The second-most correctly-answered q was the newbie who would make it the furthest, with a clean 100 (76%) picking Vancouver. 

I think the most impressive answer was the Conn Smythe pick: 35 people picked McDavid, which is not in and of itself a large percent (only 27%) but has a much larger pool of candidates: the first two above-mentioned questions were multiple choice, with 2 or 3 answers, while people picked 3 out of literally hundreds of possible choices, and still fully a quarter of people managed to choose correctly. Additionally, eight people picked both McDavid as a Conn Smythe candidate and Florida to win the Cup.

Here’s the top ten (well, eleven) Conn Smythe picks. While in theory, there were 393 total votes available (131 responses and each responder was encouraged to pick 3 players) not everyone did -- a few people only put in one name, and one person just wrote in “No idea,” who as far as I’m aware was not eligible as a Conn Smythe candidate.

Quinn Hughes mania really swept the nation. Last year, the most-voted-for Conn Smythe winner was Connor McDavid, who got 43 votes. This year, Quinn Hughes got 52! (Caveat: there were about 25 more voters this year than last year, which means that the proportion is actually pretty similar -- about 40% both years.)

Thank you so much for participating! Hope to see you all again next year.

Death nearly comes literally for James in the form of an enraged perpetually 30-year-old woman with badly-cut short brown hair, save for two longer bits hanging down by her ears, almost like a pair of floppy bunny ears. It looks like rather like someone had at her hair with a pair of hedge clippers and they really didn't know what they were doing, but the woman rather looks like she doesn't care. What she does look like she cares about is the fact that James has his hand on a certain pillow - presumably one that is hers.

"Who the fuck are you?!" she blurts out, setting down what appears to be a sack absolutely full of rocks.

A wolfish grin of his own splits his face, totally oblivious to the oncoming train that's about to hit him. "Well! This your pillow?" he inquires, needlessly pointing at said pillow. Death the Wolf winks saucily up at the officer worker who is about to die.

Doom doesn't even answer him. She just crosses the room in three or four quick strides, grabs him by the collar, yanks him away from her bed, and drags him out of her room, and throws him out into the hallway so hard he slams into the wall with a crack. James is so dazed, he isn't sure if the wall cracked or if it was his spine that did, but the door slamming soon after doesn't leave him any more room to wonder.

Because as he falls over onto the floor, his head pounding as a migraine begins to bloom behind his eyes at the rough treatment, James begins to wonder something else. Something far more important than whether his spine is broken or whether he might be concussed.

"Wowwww. Who is sheeeeeeee?" he slurs with a stupid grin just before passing out.

Here we goooooo! After 3+ years I'm finally writing my second Theoki (Loki + Theo Bell) story!!

In my first story, my fix-it was having Loki come back to London after the events of the book to get closure with Theo. This time I'm rewriting it so Loki decides to keep his promise and bring Theo to Asgard.

I'm ready for all the heartache, the yearning, and the tenderness! 🖤
