Fill out a full playoff bracket for ultimate bragging rights

[banks]

No bigger armchair accomplishment than getting a full bracket right before the playoffs. Take your shot and fill one out.

I feel like the NHL used to have a bracket challenge on the website, but don't see it this year.

Edit: if anyone has a cleaner way to show a bracket in an HF post, please say so. The text one above isn't exactly pretty. If you change the font to courier, it looks ok.

I made an HF league

 

[qcal1427]

I'll go one better and give the number of games too:

WPG in 5
DAL in 6
VGK in 7
LAK in 7

TOR in 4
TBL in 5
WSH in 6
CAR in 7

WPG in 6
VGK in 6
TOR in 7
WSH in 6

WPG in 7
TOR in 6

WPG in 5

My theme this year is "series that people think will be close will not be and vice versa."

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

Yeah, I think it’s an Avs-Bolts rematch.

Would not be surprised if the both lose in round 1 lol, but f*** it we ball

Homer pick and I'm not ashamed. In terms of what I THINK will happen - either Canes beat Florida to advance to the SCF, or just replace Florida with Tampa the whole way through.
