Will we be selecting from all games since they've been decided--or should we ignore Canada, just for the fun of it?

After a division-only schedule, I realized how little I have paid attention to any of the teams outside the Central. I had to look up who was even the starting goalie for some teams!

I'm going heart on this one.

Marchand-McDavid-Marner
Josi-Barrie

Price

Montreal in 7: The salt from Toronto will turn Lake Ontario into the Dead Sea.

Oilers in 5: The Jets get some dirty Oil in the system and crash

Panthers in 7: The rest every superstar for the season backfires.

Pens in 6: I say Pens because GF would flense me if I didn't but honestly Jeff Carter seems to have playoff grit.

Caps in 5: The Bruins time has come.

Avs in 5: This could be the Avs sweep but I could see Binington snapping and killing an AV.

Vegas in 6: Fun, maybe but the Wild with steal on.

Preds in 5: The Canes are good but the Preds since March 15th have been a nuclear fueled fright train. There is no 'small sample' size when talking about 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Racer minds think alike... only 3 players different... gonna come down to the series picks I suspect

 

[Jonesey]

@weeze and @LOUISVILLE ICE CARDS I'm missing your rosters.

Puck drop is almost here. If you post after puck drop, you will get 0 points for any players picked in this game, and the series prediction will be a 0 as well.

Please still post a lineup!!

 

[Jonesey]

Quick question. Should I give the byes to the top 2 seeds or should I leave the bracket as as and just give the people who didn't submit a 0 for the round?

Leave the seedings as they are, have to have to have that 5 vs 12 Racer Cup! (Even though the 12 usually does drop the 5)

Instead of getting a bye we could open it up and select a team by committee.

Depends, if I win just give them 0s. If I lose, please give byes

I sense a lack of confidence....

 

[Armourboy]

I'd just view it as a forfeit and move on.

 

[Jonesey]

Yeah, I'm going to leave it as is.

[PredsV82]

You've got me picking the Caps twice... I think that one should be my pick of the habs
