WJC: 1st Annual McJesus WJC Pool

[Loffer]

What a rough day in the office. Nothing to brag home about. - But tomorrow is - luckily - another day.

 

[Backhandshelf81]

No updates since day 1?

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Yeah, what's going on? Hasn't been updated in ages. The playoffs are coming up.

 

[connor macdavid]

Sorry guys, I've had real-world commitments with the tournament and been running around like crazy.

It will be updated after today's games, rest assured.

A massive first round from Jesse Puljujarvi (16 points) has pushed Team Alex Morgan out to a massive lead (odds-on tournament favourite at this point barring a disastrous collapse). Puljujarvi's production matched the entire output of the last and second-last teams in this pool.

Three teams - TOHW, TCAAHF, & GS - look ready to compete for the silver and bronze.

Despite some inspired group stage performances a la Belarus, Finder24's disadvantaged Imperial Starfleet team struggled mightily. He deserved credit for finding a gem in Danila Karaban.

Final standings

- K2B claims gold on the strength of Jesse Puljujarvi's ridiculous performance.
- Snippit is the perennial 'underachieves in group stage, forced to kick butt in relegation round'
- OilerPensFan97 managed a measly five points in the knockout round - is he Slovakia?
- Finder24 miraculously avoids relegation despite having missed the first seven rounds of picks. Shame on you, Anchorcam. You deserve D1B.

[Loffer]

Okay. Great and thanx again. I got close but paid the price of not trusting in Pulju/Laine over Rantanen. Also my goalie selection backfired. Took Sandström instead of Söderström.

Gold and now silver. See ya all next Christmas in Montreal and Toronto. Going for Gold then again.

[Anchorcam]

Ouch. Yeah I did terrible Next year I'll have to pick a more suitable name for a bottom feeder team, like the Edmonton Anchormen

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Wow, I paid the price for picking mostly Canadians. Missed several man-games from the quarterfinal exit.
