Playoff Pickem Pool (details in post 8)

[Doggy]

I don't know how many guys here would join in so I am nervous about the time commitment but I am willing to give it a shot.

It's pretty simple...

Conference Quarter-Final worth 4 Points (+2 for picking the # of games correctly) per series
Conference Semi-Finals worth 6 Points (+3 for picking the # of games correctly) per series
Conference Finals worth 8 Points (+4 for picking the # of games correctly) per series
SC Finals worth 10 Points (+5 for picking the # of games correctly) per series

Pick the winner and the number of games. Pick the number of games correctly (in addition to the winner) and pick up an extra 50%. Example: pick the Rangers to beat Pens in 7 games and they win in 7 games. You get 4 Points for the win plus an extra 2 Points for picking the number of games). You net 6 Points for that series.

For fun...pick the winning goal scorer in any series in any round for an extra +2 points

You can use nhl.com's Bracket Challenge and create a league, right?

 

[Sore Loser]

I'd be in. I was 12/16 last year but couldn't get the Cup winner right. This year I have St Louis vs Montreal in the finals.

We only ended up with five people posting picks here...I would be happy to keep the scores but I don't know if it is worth it for such a small group (feel like we needed at least ten to make it interesting) What do you guys think?

Sorry Dog. I did a bracket in SG's league and NHL.com - I had a bracket there already, so I just added it to his league. I'm happy to post my picks here if you want.

 

[Fro]

i did same as DSL

 

[Nanabijou]

I also posted my bracket there.

 

[Doggy]

Nah...I am fine...didn't want anyone to feel like I was leaving them hanging.

 

[S1N4TR4]

Wisniewski set to be a healthy scratch tonight against the Jets... he's obviously disappointed reading his comments.

 

[Cowumbus]

why would I think the blues could keep it together

 

[CBJx614]

3/4 so far not to bad. . However if Ottawa and STL lose im done for.
