NHL playoff pool?

Anyone up for a simple playoff pool? The regular season ended today and playoff seeds are set. I'm thinking something like pick the winners from each series, if you pick the right team to win the series, you get 1 point. Winner takes all at the conclusion of the playoffs, send round 2s picks in when round 1 concludes

First game kicks off on Wednesday so if we're to do this, gotta get picks in by like, noon pacific time on Wednesday

-edit-

Lets go with uh, 6 people max - to try and keep split pots to a minimal - at $20 buy in a pop. 1 point for each series win picked straight across. Hows that sound?

I hope you guys trust me with your monies. I might go busto and run off with it. Just a heads up.

Right now, tentatively, heres the list:
Group 1:
1.) Fraser
2.) KrappyKonnect
3.) Subaru
4.) musclewheels
5.) matdon460
6.) gawdawaful

Group 2:
1.) devon06atx
2.) byrnesam
3.) nolan
4.) bidicha
5.) night_front
6.) gawdawaful

Note: I'll get out of group 2 if we have enough to run 2 full groups. If not well w/e. If you guys want to play 2 groups and pick different teams/same teams, then go nuts.

If we have more people, can always just run another group of 6 (and change it to elimination style? ie. 2 groups, top 2 from each group advance to last two rounds of NHL playoffs to play for the money)

btw, ship monies to gawdawaful (surrey) whenever

f the habs, and ill participate in this if you figure it all out gawdawful.

I'm up

But I think you should think of something better then pick a team, seems like a lot of people would be bunched up

I like this idea

Stick to your kangaroos and soccer.


Hockey is for men and real athletes.

suck on my hockey memorabelia....

i went to a calgary flames game and got the puck when it came over the sides - Iginla had scored with it - this was during his (other) 50+ goal season.

i run good.

I'm in, but whats the buyin? Is a round 1 pick of equal value to a finals pick?

see bottom

Heres the first round matchups:

Western Conference:
Detroit (1) vs Nashville (8)
San Jose (2) vs Calgary (7)
Minnesota (3) vs Colorado (6)
Anaheim (4) vs Dallas (5)

Eastern Conference:
Montreal (1) vs Boston (8)
Pittsburgh (2) vs Ottawa (7)
Washington (3) vs Philadelphia (6)
New Jersey (4) vs New York (5)

Sent Monies

Western Conference:
Detroit W(1) vs Nashville (8)
San Jose W(2) vs Calgary (7)
Minnesota (3) vs Colorado W(6)
Anaheim W(4) vs Dallas (5)

Eastern Conference:
Montreal W(1) vs Boston (8)
Pittsburgh W(2) vs Ottawa (7)
Washington W(3) vs Philadelphia (6)
New Jersey W(4) vs New York (5)

W = Win, obv

Can you explain this more on how it works?

Basically, if you get all your picks right Subaru, you get 8 points. If for example, New York upsets NJ (gonna happen, see my bolded picks) you only get 7. And I get w/e amount based on the number of winning series I picked.

Then 2nd round, you pick from the remaining series. Each series win here adds 1 point to your total.

Rinse and repeat till we're done, player with most points takes home the money.

To the guy that sent me money, you might want to PM me your stars name. Someone transferred money but I have no idea who you are and I dont want to be outting anyones stars name if they want to keep it private

I'm in on this if there is still room. Canucks didn't make it so I need to make the playoffs exciting somehow

theres still room wheels
