Now if Carolina wins game 7, I will pull ahead of Weedy for 26th place. It's the little victories that make life worth living.

I hate myself for not being as helpful as chicobangs and DrJohnEvans. I'm giving myself a Jason Terry crotch punch right now. I suck. Speaking of that, justgary was supposed to have forwarded an email to you about the self induced technical difficulty I am having. Unfortunately, it looks like something only an admin can fix. If you don't respond soon, I'm gonna crawl so far up your ass you will be able to taste my shampoo. Really though, I have more pressing matters, which I am sure you do to. But if you could take a quick gander at it, I would greatly appreciate it. I might even buy you a mug for christmas.

Correction: 7-5) Detroit, Montreal, Philadelphia 4-2) TB, Dallas, Nashville The highest possible score would be 746 pts.
posted by njsk8r20 at 10:47 PM on May 17
Worst: 2 points for Edmonton, 15 for Dallas. Best: 12 points for Carolina, 1 point for TB. No matter what happens though, I still blew it. The best picks at the bottom end would have been: 12) San Jose 11-10) NJ, Ottawa 9) Colorado 8) Calgary 7-5) TB, Dallas, Nashville 4-2) Detroit, Montreal, Philadelphia 1) NY Rangers OK, so maybe 3 pts for Montreal was my best.

Looks like DrJohn has the hot stick in these playoffs. He is now leading in confidence points too. That was a good fight, Iginla got the worst of it IMO. I wish I would have been able to stay awake for the 3rd period of the Flames/Ducks game. The lack of sleep from staying up to watch these late games is starting to wear on me.

Thornton's big advantage seems to be that he can prove how much of a difference he made. I hear what you're saying, 86. The stat they like to show to play up that kind of thing is: Team A w/ Player A in the lineup W-L-OTL Team A w/o Player A in the lineup W-L-OTL Being that Jagr didn't miss any time during the season, we don't have those stats to compare. You have convinced me that Thornton will win the Hart. Based on stats, I'm giving the Norris to Mathieu Schneider because he played 72 games, scored 59 pts and is a +33. Its hard to judge the Vezina winner based purely on stats because you don't know what kind of team he was playing behind. But I do know Marty B probably won't win it this year. Calder: Ovechkin of course. I think we already discussed why. Selke: My vote goes to Rod B. I don't have a clue about the Lady Byng but I'll pull a homer and say Elias because he has skill and I can't remember seeing him loosing his temper and taking a stupid/bad penalty.

Yes I did. They were giving out pom poms as you walked in so I was hootin and hollerin and waving the pom poms as if I were a real Preds fan. The fans were really behind Mason which was cool. It did get pretty quiet though after they were down 0-3. There was a small incident on my way to the game that pissed me off, but once the game got started I forgot all about it. Pics and the story are in Sunday's transcripts of campfire. I've also gussied up the backup leaderboard, which I will continue to update even after qbert gets the standings working. Just because it gives me something to do.

Re: trashtalk Chicobangs, I'm not sure, but judging from how bad we did in the last two confidence pools, you better go get a fresh can too. And you better hurry, only a couple of hours left. Drop the puck, it's time to go! Ok, so it's a Bruins' song, I still like it anyway.

You are totally confusing me on how your points scoring is supposed to work BullpenPro. The way I see it the winner of the original pool gets 26 wins, so if I pick them to win (rank them 26) then I would get 676 pts. Right? I think it's kind of a cool idea. But not only would you want to pick who you think knows thier hockey, but also if those who don't are lucky. Very interesting indeed.

The great Scotty Bowman made some picks, too bad he didn't say how many games each series would go. S'ok NoMich, and btw, I got my ticket to Sunday's game in Nashville. Let's go Preds!

Apparently he's picking Dallas over the Hurricanes in the SCF. Yeah I was able to find that, but I was talking about first round predictions. I found video where he broke down the different series but he rarely made a prediction. I see mkn was able to find his picks though.
posted by njsk8r20 at 09:25 AM on April 21
mkn, I noticed a couple typos: Weedy's picks - BUF (BU), NoMich - DAL (BAL), skydivedad - NYR, BUF, and MTL (mixed up), Buccigrass - NJ (JD). Nice work though, and thanks for doing this.

posted by njsk8r20 at 03:45 PM on April 20
Failing that, I may settle for letting the competition teach me something about hockey Ok JJ, first of all, get off the Detroit bandwagon. And to add to NoMich's suggestion, I like to alternate my picking, first I started with the top two then picked the bottom two, so on and so forth till I made all of my picks. And perhaps all the pull downs could start off blank. It kind of confused me a bit near the end because I couldn't tell which spot I meant to put Anaheim in and which spots I wanted to change.
posted by njsk8r20 at 10:31 AM on April 20
Nice work guys. I like the fact you can't see other people's picks. This way I won't be able make picks based on where I think DrJohn went wrong. Or use grum's picks to rank the teams I can't decide on.

Well now that I have read it I see she does the east, and Ray Slover does the west. So I guess if mkn wants to use these, they sould just be called SportingNews. For the record, I would rather he didn't. These are just the first ones I have been able to find.
