A little backstory - So my family and friends created a yearly NHL playoffs bracket going on 18 years ago in memory of a friend who was a big Detroit fan who was killed in a car accident who was nicknamed Pop's. So we created the "Pop's memorial cup" and every playoffs we pick the winning team in each series, number of games they win in, PIM leader, goal/assist leader, Save %/wins/GAA (minimum of 10 games played). Every round except for the final round you can re-pick your statistical categories, the finals has the Conn Smythe and game winning goal. Now in the final round being a Dallas fan i am left with this conundrum:

These are the final categories:

• Winner of 2) TBL vs. 3) DAL
• # of games
• Conn Smythe Winner (Playoff MVP) - worth 3 points
• Stanley Cup Clinching Goal Scorer - worth 5 points

What would your picks be for these final categories:

Dallas
6 games
Heiskanen
Pavelski

 

[Sports2]

Dal
6
Benn
Pavelski

 

[majormajor]

Dallas
7 games
Heiskanen
Gurianov

I'd go Bolts but I think that Point isn't going to be able to play very effectively much longer, they are running out of bodies.

Congrats to Tampa! I know there was some shit talking in the threads but it was a good series and Dallas will be back.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Frankly, a bit disappointed in Dallas. I expected a better series.

Except for the first game, where a fresh Dallas beat an exhausted Tampa, it was prety much Tampa shutting them down, while Kudobin held them in.

If it wasn't that this was for the Cup, I'd say the East final was more exciting.
