Illegal Curve Handicapping Challenge – November 19th

What a night!  Alfie creeps closer to the top and our own Ezraginsburg has a monster 3-0 night.  Welcome newcomer Scott9002ca who picked 3 Canadian teams and went 2-1.

A question from entrant Pattywins who also had a big day yesterday:

“What were the Sens doing leaving Heatley and Alfredsson on the bench during Monday’s shootout?”

Any thoughts?  Alfie?
