Not doing my pick'em game, BUT...

[Novacane]

So.......yeah. About that.

 

[gocanes88]

Look out guys... I'm making my charge! But it might only be a charge for second if dnugs keeps up what he's doing. Holy cow...

Haha I've been pleasantly surprised with how I'm doing. But I will be watching the Ducks/Wings game closely. That could be the downfall of my bracket. I'm still confident in all my other picks, though.

Once the Caps win the Cup, I will take my rightful spot as 1st among the Hurricanes leader board.

I have the same final series and have the Caps winning as well

Glorious rutherfordscountryclub making the run. I like my group

 

[DaveG]

not feeling too good about picking the Rangers this series right now. Everything else though, gold.

 

[sticknpuck]

Dammit caps, stop comitting penalties. The rags can't capitalize on them, but you can't score on them either!

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Boy, it isn't until it got to the second round that I realize how poorly picking everyone from the start works if you reseed. Brackets work in the NCAA because they're set.

I've got the Bruins and the Rangers in the Conference Finals. A scenario made impossible not by them being eliminated, but them being reseeded and playing each other.

Oh well, I guess I have a team in the Conference Finals!

 

[Buenos Necas]

Yep, definitely works a lot better when you make your picks every round. Guess NHL.com thought it would make it easier for people to just pick all at once.

While it doesn't help now, I'd be glad to take up where gocanes88 left off, and run the pick'em games in the future.

 

[gocanes88]

I'll probably bring back my game next year if NHL.com does it this terrible way again... by the time I realized it there wasn't much time left.

 

[What the Faulk]

I'm just confused as to why we only pick series length for the first round. That didn't make much sense.

 

[Guy]

Let me holla in here real quick.

Let me holla in here real quick.

Yeah I was pumped because my finals were looking good. Then I saw yours and realized that you're an incredible human being. Nice picks!

*SPOILER ALERT*

book it.

Last place here I come

 

[tomdundo]

I'm just going to bump this because I'm bored.


I'm incredibly shocked that I'm in 4th though...although I completely whiffed on the Stanley Cup Final prediction. ****ing Pittsburgh...



Also, what the hell were you doing, Trollinen?

 

[Buenos Necas]

Any idea how many points you get for picking the winner? Seems like I'm the "highest" ranked who picked Boston, would be a great comeback

Scratch that, just saw it's 40 points for picking the winner. Looks like Guy has this thing wrapped up, the rest of us are just playing for second.

I filled this out, like I fill out my March Madness brackets.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Hey, I got the Finals right!

I'll take it...

 

[Guy]

 

[DaveG]

2... mother... ****ing... points

 

[gocanes88]

I bounced back pretty nicely, though... proving once again that in these pick'em games, it's not how you start but how you finish.

That...or how terrible it is with the format of this year being picked all at once.

 

[gocanes88]

I was in the 90th percentile and correctly picked the Blackhawks to win it all... yet it was only good enough for second place. Guy was too good. Congrats, sir!

 

[tomdundo]

Well, I dropped from 4th to 8th after the Stanley Cup Final. Oh well.
