Well Frisby/Sk8er - I just think that if you actually picked Anaheim in 6 games and it was Edmonton in 6 games, you really are guessing that the Ducks go 4-2. In fact they go 2-4 - you're not just wrong - you're REALLY wrong - but you still get credit for getting the number of games right? Dude, you got it all wrong!! No Credit!! I always treat my picks and games as one and the same. If I say Ottawa will beat Buffalo in five, and Buffalo beats Ottwa in five - I wasn't 50% right on my call. I totally blew the call. You're right - not a big deal. Just a peeve.
I agree with Weedy on this one. I have picked against Carolina for the first three rounds, and that's not about to stop. Edmonton in 6. Smythe: Horcoff. I just can't get behind the Hurricanes as valid representatives of the "new NHL". Yes, they're geared for offense, which is nice, but they're an assortment of purchased semi-loser veterans, with one or two young guys thrown in for good measure. They feel more like the 2004 Rangers to me. Except that they're winning, of course.
Wings Edmonton in 6. MYP=Roloson
I figured of doing it like that because it equalizes the ranks a bit and adds more parity. If you want, though, you can always change the sort order: By number of correct picks and by the number of correct picks AND games
When you put it like that Mr. McSmokey, you make a very compelling argument. However, this is sportsfilter, so I can't change my mind, even if I want to. The only other point I can make is competition. Allowing credit for the number of games despite picking the winner wrong allows for a closer race. I mean show some sportsmanship fer crisakes.
Edmonton in 4. MVP: Roloson
Ah, Friz - like I said - it's not keeping me up at night. I never win these things anyway. In other news - 86?!?! - Edmonton in FOUR!?!? Geez - that'd be okay by me, but I don't think the Hurricanes are going to miss the bus four times in a row.
Horcoff! Horcoff! Horcoff! I'm tired of goaltenders winning the Smythe (almost) all the time. Yes, they make the most important single contribution. That's part of their job.
Weedy, I don't think I've picked them to win a series yet. And since they keep proving me wrong I've decided they deserve all of my confidence.
The funny thing is sorted by the other two criteria mkn posted I rank even higher than the default. The hilarious thing is that I'm still in the top six period, though at least Melrose has passed me on points. Go for broke: HUR, 5, Brind'amour, Oilers finally crash back to earth after playing over their heads for three straight round.
Don't even try to blow me off like that Weedy. I'm not sleeping untill I convince you that DrJohnEvans is using PEDs.
Whalers in 6. MVP=Pronger. Meds in 5. MVP=Thorazine.
Horcoff! Horcoff! Horcoff! You might want to get that cough checked out, q. Pronger, baby.
Carolina in 7 MVP Staal. Nobody's picked him? 15 game point streak and all?
MVP Staal. Nobody's picked him? 15 game point streak and all? He kind of disappeared in the last two games of the Buffalo series. I remember hearing the broadcasters talk about it as well.
edmonton in 5 mvp: pronger
Carolina is 6 MVP: Doug Weight
oilers in 7
Carolina-6
Carolina-6
Carolina-6
Carolina in 666! That's tomorrow.
Wait, they're going to play all six games tomorrow?
15 overtime periods = 6 full games!!
Carolina in 4. The Adamses. And Weedy, I'm glad you brought that up. I thought it was weird to get any credit for picking Dallas in 5.
Jeff Friesen has been angered. Carolina in 7. Cam Ward in Being Conn Smythe.
Did I stutter? Sorry.
Edmonton in 7. This time I'm going with what I want to happen. Smyth for Smythe.
ok, so now i want to win this thing. can i change my pick to carolina in 5, please? i was going to change the whole thing to edmonton, but nah...
You got it in before the game started, so sure. Especially since, at the moment, Carolina is losing 3-0.
Shows what i know. May the best person (i.e. DrJohn) win...
mkn, bearer of bad omen for the Oilers
This is about how my picks have gone too. The second I picked a team to win, they lost.
