Why did I think Monday was the start of voting?

Oh well.

Oh well.

Because you have a loser avatar.

Because you have a loser avatar.

Shows what you know. Hes the best golfer on the team.

 

[ImporterExporter]

I voted. Big League.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Hopefully we got a decent number of votes!

[VanIslander]

Hopefully we have at least 7 votes.

In fact, 7 votes would be simplest to reflect how many games it took (e.g., votes 4-3 shows a 7-game series, 4-0 a sweep). Though, most of the series are very competitive, so even if most voted for one team over another, one could imagine them going long, not a mismatch.

(Ideally, we'd have 12 votes.)

Yeah- that's about the way I saw it. Pittsburgh had enough Steinitzian "little advantages" all over the ice to have a measured advantage overall.

California defeat Hershey 4-3. Game 7 went to OT.
1st star: Plante.
2nd star: Lemieux.
3rd star: Lidström.

Surprised. I thought this should have gone the other way. I just didn't see a Lemieux-led team with their up-the-middle strength and proven scorers at RW to fall prey to a goalie-theft.

Richmond defeat the Unified Team 4-3.
1st star: Orr.
2nd star: Roy.
3rd star: Dryden.

I think Macho Man put together an upper-division team this year. Congratulations on a merited victory.

Quebec defeat Brampton 4-3.
1st star: Beliveau.
2nd star: Messier.
3rd star: Bourque.

Shouldn't have been this close, IMO.

@ImporterExporter likewise, I got another draft idea we could do in the fall that I’ve seen on another board. Think it will work here as well

[ImporterExporter]

How many people sent votes @Theokritos ?

 

[Theokritos]

How many people sent votes @Theokritos ?

Only six: you, Hawkey Town, Johnny Engine, tony d, Bench Brawl and Macho Man.

 

[Theokritos]

I forgot about the format and that four teams are already eliminated, so the turnaround is actually not bad. Therefore I will now proceed to announce the results. The results are pretty unanimous anyway.

3rd star: Brimsek
