Ahhhhh, childhood memories

I'm actually a fan of both teams but one is always in the playoffs and the other is never in the playoffs

Pool update: Can we have a re-draft so I can pick up all my Flyers and drop all those stupid Penguins What was I thinking?

brother ty-khat takes the early, early lead thanks to Giroux and a Bruins SO

brother ty-khat still holding the lead ... I'm second but every player I have is trailing in their series and one was carried off on a stretcher ... keef drops to the cozy VEF basement, for the moment at least

[tygrkhat40]

With one series over, here's how we all stand in the Playoff Pool

keefriff: 17
cardinalcary: 15
jimzebra: 15
tygrkhat40: 14

What's giving keef the lead and keeping me in the game is the fact we both picked St. Louis. Everyone but me picked Nashville, so you all got 4 points for that, while I got 1 from the Wings.

Good luck to all!

[cardinalcary]

brother ty-khat takes a commanding lead I'm still second, but since I'm going to have no players left by the end of the first round it falls to jim and keef to catch ty-khat

my consolation is that my Flyers served up Penguin meat for lunch

Playoff Pool

The Quarterfinals round is over and here are the standings:

keefriff: 24
tygrkhat40: 22
cardinalcary: 21
jimzebra: 21

Keef, you get the signature pick, congrats.

Semifinal matchups; my picks

NY Rangers vs Washington; NY Rangers 4-2
Philadelphia vs New Jersey; Philadelphia, 4-3
St. Louis vs Los Angeles; St. Louis, 4-2
Phoenix vs Nashville; Phoenix, 4-3

Good luck all!

[cardinalcary]

I didn't realize the second round starts today (Friday). I won't be able to update draft till Saturday, but I'm sure the avatar for the first round leader goes to brother ty-khat

My predictions for second round:

Wash in 6
Phil in 6

StL in 7
Nash in 6

I'll get jimzebra's preds before second round starts tonight but may not be able to post them before start of tonight's game.

[keefriff]

It looks to me like the Cardinal and I will be watching this race from the sidelines. What the hell happened! The Canucks absolutely killed me! I am done. CC, I am sure you feel the same about Pitt and Chicago. What a crazy first round! NHL Playoff hockey is really outstanding.

My picks for next round:

NYR in 6
NJ in 7
STL in 6
NASH in 6

And since we are a Vintage forum and this is a hockey thread here is the signature pic for this round.

At least I still have two players left ... think I can win the pool with my 2 NJ, Parise and Henrique? NHL is so unpredictable... if you can just get in the playoffs, anything can happen. Generally NBA playoffs aren't like that... NHL is more like March Madness and only just in recent years the NFL playoffs have become more unpredictable too... but NHL has been this way for a long time.

North Stars ... a few good teams in early 80's ... B.Smith, Broten, Payne, Ciccarelli, Meloche and the oustanding Hartsburg

Never bet on a team that was in the previous season's Cup Final. Too much burnout. Boston is out too.
