2017 HFNHL Playoff Pool

[Brock]

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

ENTRIES ARE DUE BY Thursday, APRIL 20 at 11:59 EST. Short notice, I know. But it's only fair given our playoff start date and 24 hours should be enough notice for people to take the 3-5 minutes of their day to do this voluntary pool.

Entries are to be posted on the boards in this thread. If your post is edited after Thursday, 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. You can find the bracket here: http://hfnhl.org/2017/playoffs/HFNHL-PLF-ProStanding.html

EASTERN CONFERENCE

1. Pittsburgh vs. 4. Buffalo
1. Montreal vs. 4. Florida
2. Ottawa vs. 3. Toronto
2. NY Islanders vs. 3. Carolina

WESTERN CONFERENCE

1. St. Louis vs. 4. Calgary
1. Anaheim vs. 4. Edmonton
2. Vancouver vs. 3. Los Angeles
2. Chicago vs. 3. Nashville

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

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.

So if Pittsburgh wins the cup Joe and Alvaro tie for the win. If LA wins the Cup, we'll have a three way tie with Doug joining the party.

Congrats Joe and Alvaro - darn you Mike!

 

[Brock]

Congrats Joe and Alvaro - darn you Mike!

I had made a boo boo above in saying Alvaro could win in this scenario. Somehow I had read that he had Pittsburgh winning the Cup. He did not.

So...Joe is the playoff pool winner.

$1,000,000 to the Sabres!

 

[Ohio Jones]

Way to go Joe!
