2011 Playoff Pool?

Bruins in 5
Pens in 6

West:

Canucks in 6
Sharks in 6
Wings in 6

[Darkwing]

I want NYR, BOS, and BUF eliminated immediately, only because I blame Boston for blowing a 3-0 lead to the Rangers last week costing us a playoff spot, and the Rangers for winning against NJD on Saturday costing us a playoff spot, and Buffalo because I'd rather the second round be saved for teams that aren't a pain in my ass.

today I'm bitter.

I think Shell has been kind enough to compile the pool standings in the past. Not sure if she's got time to do that this year, but as long as everyone posts their picks before tomorrow night's games begin, they'll be able to be compiled at some point!

And kinda OT for this thread, but it looks like Tampa/Pens get the short shrift from VS. Only two of their games are listed as being broadcast, and those are going to be joined in progress.

that was kind of my thought :p

I may be able to do it this year, if we need someone.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

If someone has the Excel sheet we've used in the past, I'd be happy to do the grunt work. I'm not savvy enough to post those pretty charts Shell always did, though, so I might need help on that one.

I am happy to do it, or happy to pass it on. Doesn't make much difference to me. I have it down to a pretty fine science at this point :) I am just glad for the reminder. We had such a great time in Atlanta at the game on Friday and then I just kind of blocked hockey out of my head after that point lol. I haven't even looked at the matchups yet, hopefully I get my own picks in on time :D

p.s., for anyone who is new, all are welcome to play and you can see how it went down last year here:

Thanks! and yep! we had a suite for the game too (thank you Stub Hub) and it was such a blast!! It was a good end to the season for my ever sensitive Cole, I was really hoping to not leave the last game with him crying and screaming about the refs lol. Next day we cheered on the Phils which was also great. We won a combined 16-3 by the end of the weekend :D

This is why I never/rarely do pools. There are some teams/sports I don't know enough about and some I would never, in a million years, pick to win no matter how clear it might be that they could win. I came in dead last in my office bball pool -- I picked pretty much all of them by flipping a coin, except for the first round WVU game. No way in hell was I picking WVU to win, even if they were playing Bob's School of Lawnmower Repair.

[Caniac4life]

I hate picking against the underdog teams that I plan to pull for. Like Detroit, Tampa Bay, Nashville this round. Philly vs Boston... they could both drive off a cliff and I'd lose no sleep.

Cunucks in 6

If the bruins win then Chara and Lucic's name get on the cup, would rather see Luongo, Sedin, Sedin, etc. And when most Canadians talk about the cup being back were it belongs they are usually referring to Toronto or Montreal.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

I can't believe anyone can actually route against Tim Thomas. That's beyond my capacity for understanding. :lol:

I can't freaking STAND Luongo.

And if you really think a large chunk of Canadians are talking about Vancouver when they talk about the Cup coming "home" you haven't been listening to XM. It started to get on my nerves in April....imagine how I feel now.

LET'S GO BRUINS!!!

[LeslieK]

Bruins in 6. I'm pulling for Tim Thomas.

[SoCalcaniac]

Exercising my right not to choose because no matter who wins, I just might hurl :sick:


:lol: I heart you. Feeling the SAME way.

However, I'll go with Bruins in 7.

I ended any regular XM listening, with the exception of the Point & Extra Point w/Boomer Gordon, since he's the only one who seems capable of not drooling all over VAN (along with the entire nation)

I'll see how Wednesday night goes in determining if I go further than game 1; but honestly, this is like the first time in my life I've contemplated not watching the SCF. I'm so not into this for the first time ever. Nothing about either side is appealing at this point, and my hate on for both teams, especially Luongo, has gotten worse as the playoffs have droned on.

[guinevere]

For what its worth-
Go Bruins! in 7.

[Guyute]

I picked the Nucks, but yes, I am pulling hard for Thomas. And Rex.

[KaniacFever]

Not sure why I'm bothering (another stellar year for playoff picks) but Canuckleheads in 5.

If it's pertinent, Ryan Kesler for Conn Smythe.

Lou for Conn:sick:

Bruins in 7

[SouthernHockeyChick]

I think Kesler for Conn Smyth....the only good thing to come of this, if they win.

[KaniacFever]

Since i picked Boston, I'll chose Krejci for Conn Smyth

[Jay]

Lou for CS

[SouthernHockeyChick]

dboonisalive says he picks Luongo for CS.

[AbNormal27]

Luongo to win the Conn Smythe.

Aaryn

[Caniac4life]

Are points rewarded for picking the CS winner? I must have missed that part. If it's not too late, I'd like to pick Roberto Luongo's mask for looking like an upside down urinal that a couple of fine upstanding citizens mistook for a public shi**er.

[Alicia]

Kesler

[sandstorm]

Conn Smythe = Tim Thomas

Tim Thomas is the ONLY golatender that has not been pulled in any series of these playoffs.
