2023 HFCBJ Bracket Challenge

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

There was a Submit button that you had to click (and check a checkbox for accepting terms or whatever). Doesn't seem like normal users can browse all the other users so can't really confirm who's in and who's not...

I guess if you click on Dashboard it will show you which leagues you are a part of. For me it lists

NHL League

HFCBJ 2023

So if you don't have the HDCBJ 2023 in the Dashboard list, you haven't joined.

I do have HFCBJ 2023 on my dashboard. I switched to a laptop from my phone and was able to see and click the SUBMIT button for a bracket I completed. It still doesn't show my bracket on the dashboard under the HFCBJ 2023 league. So, I guess I tried and all, lol. I'm done spending time on it. Thanks for setting up a league for us, though.

Guess who was dumb and picked the Isles in 6 over the Canes

^that emoji could use a better hat..

A dunce cap seems very suitable to me. You wouldn't have any more of those lying around? I picked Colorado in 5 over Seattle.

Welp, I have the Rangers and Tampa meeting in the 2nd round - will be interesting to see if they pull it out or not. Rooting for the Devils in the real world, don't really care who wins in the Tampa-Toronto series.

Thought I was rooting for the Rangers but gotta say Devils have impressed me. And their goalie if he isn't a flash in the pan will be a thorn in our side for a long time.

I sort of like the idea of them so easily attracting the "big name" guys and then going out in the first round.

Ultimately I have EDM-BOS in the final so my bracket isn't wrecked (yet).

Last year I killed it with my bracket. This year I am getting killed.

I did two brackets this year, one for here and one for r/bluejackets. My reddit one is in first place and has only gotten one thing wrong so far (number of games Carolina took to beat NYI) with 59 points. My bracket for here is… much less impressive.

You gotta respect going the non-boring route and tipping the Kings and not the Bruins for the Cup. I went safe as hell most of the way through and I'm still doing very poorly.

 

[EDM]

Boy does Panarin look fat & slow in the first round.

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

The standings after round one. The maximum possible points are... lower than before. Only one of the five here have tipped a Stanley Cup winner that survived the first round.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Usually I’m in these things just so no one else has to finish last. Maybe not this time.

Well, seeing how I have already locked up dead last (I have 26 points after round one and my max points is...26), I think you are safe. I picked two out of eight series right (Dallas and Canes) and had neither of those two going past the second round.

FTR, this is why I don't gamble.

Mine's mostly wrecked as well. Only hope for me now is EDM winning the cup.

Hanging a banner for "Led after 5 games", because at this point my bracket is done

 

[AndBoomGoesTheCannon]

I picked a Bos-Col final

safe is death

@Double-Shift Lasse in first place with Toronto winning it all…

We suck at this don’t we

I’m used to it though. I always expect to lose these things.

My other three final four teams are still alive though.

 

[anotherlurker]

Stupid bracket challenge, I guessed (knew) that Toronto will be eliminated at the second round but I get no points for that because of Boston > (I still have the thing but I messed up something, so I'm not on this list, my 36 points wouldn't carry too far anyway)

I’m not trying to downplay your bracket, I was just going through everyone’s and most people’s winners have already been eliminated

 

[Doggy]

At least I will finish in the top twenty!

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Well in the past few days me prospects went from really good to struggling. I guess that's what happens when your two finals teams get bumped.

Cow and Kiwi with their Cup winner intact look like best bets, depending on how the West shakes out.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Kiwi looks like the runaway winner here

I was gonna get caught by someone - just depended on whether Dallas or Vegas took that series. Congrats to kiwi!
