This week, two legendary Original Six teams will meet again on NBC Sports' Wednesday Night Rivalry. Coverage starts at 7:30 ET, and the puck drops at 8.
Proceeds going to the prize pool for the steemit fantasy hockey league
New York Rangers
The New York Rangers have earned a 2-1 record, after scoring an impressive 14 goals in their first 3 games. Forwards Kreider, Zuccarello, and Zibanejad have started the season at a torrid pace.
They will expect Henrik Lundqvist to return to his typical elite form after allowing 6 goals on 46 shots in his first two games of the year.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings won their first game of the year Monday night, against the Ottawa Senators.
The Red Wings are struggling to find their identity early this season. With an abundance of skill and veteran leadership, Detroit will likely work the kinks out before long.
In their first win of the year, the explosive offensive minded defenseman Mike Green tallied a hat trick. If the injury-prone Mike Green can stay healthy this year, he will be a great asset to the Red Wings.
While both are legendary Original Six teams, historically the Red Wings and Rangers have not been bitter rivals. This is due, in part, to the fact that they were in opposite conferences and were not involved in playoff races or series for many decades. This is something the league is trying to change, as evidenced by its decision to move the Red Wings into the Eastern division as part of the league restructuring that took place a couple of seasons ago. They have not yet met in the playoffs since the league made this move, but it is only a matter of time.
Will this be the year?
Support SteemSports Ultimate Vote Betting … together we all can win!
How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.
Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.
