2014 HFNHL Playoff Pool

[Brock]

As is the annual tradition, I will be running an HFNHL playoff pool.

ENTRIES ARE DUE BY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16 at 11:59 EST

Entries are to be posted on the boards in this thread. If your post is edited after Tuesday, your entry will be null and void.

There is no entry cost, however the winner takes home a cool $1,000,000 to their HFNHL team.

Here are the match-ups. There will soon be a playoff bracket on the website that will be posted.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

1. Florida vs. 4. New Jersey
1. New York Rangers vs. 4. Toronto
2. Detroit vs. 3. Montreal
2. Philadelphia vs. 3. Columbus

WESTERN CONFERENCE

1. Colorado vs. 4. Edmonton
1. Los Angeles vs. 4. Minnesota
2. Vancouver vs. 3. Calgary
2. St. Louis vs. 3. Nashville

I will post my entry below so everyone can see the format.

It's a bit different this year, obviously.

Remember, for the second round, the winner of the 1 vs 4 matchup faces off against the winner of the 2 vs 3 game from the number 1's own division.

For Example, whoever wins between Florida and New Jersey will play the winner of Detroit and Montreal because that's the 2/3 matchup from Florida's division.
