2023 HFNHL Playoff Pool

[Brock]

As is the annual tradition, I will be running an HFNHL playoff pool. We need a quick turnaround here with playoffs starting in the next 48 hours.

ENTRIES ARE DUE BY Monday, April 24 at 11:59 EST.

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

There is no entry cost, however the winner takes home a cool $2,000,000 to their HFNHL team.

Here are the match-ups.

Disappointing to see how few entries we had. Interesting that nobody’s bracket survived Round 1, so the decider will be which team comes out with Lord Stanley’s soup bowl.
