KenathZoron

Well, the first games have been played (second even in a few series), and here’s the full spread of who picked whom for the first round.

For anyone who is interested, you can always join in the competition once the second round games are determined. Just email me your picks and how many games each series will take and you’re in. Last year there was still lots of movement in places throughout the playoffs, so missing out on this first round isn’t a game-breaker,

OK, I’ve gotten 9 of the 10 competitors’ picks in, so here they are:

Minnesota v Chicago

Minnesota: 7 - Halc
Chicago: 5 - Howie, Val; 6 - Zoron, Yacks, Bobecc, Seyda, Swifty, Chaos

Anaheim v Calgary

Anaheim: 4 - Bobecc; 5 - Chaos, Val, Yacks, Zoron; 6- Swifty, Seyda, Halc, Howie
Calgary: No one!

Montreal v Tampa Bay

Montreal: 5 - Zoron; 6 - Howie, Val; 7 - Swifty
Tampa Bay: 6 - Halc, Bobecc; 7 - Yacks (or as he put it, “anyone but Montreal”), Seyda, Chaos

New York Rangers v Washington

NYR: 5 - Seyda, Yacks, Howie; 6 - Chaos, Bobecc, Halc, Zoron; 7 - Val
Washington: 7 - Swifty

So, it looks like we’re all rolling against Swifty’s perfect record in the NYR/Washington series. Poor Calgary and Minnesota, with only 1 selection between the two of them. Not much of a surprise though.

Alright, here are the picks. Seyda missed out getting her’s in before the start of the first game, so she only has some for the second series.

Chicago: 5 - Howie, Val, 6 - Zoron, Halc, Seyda

Third Round Results:

Correct picks and bonus points

Chicago: Howie, Val, Zoron, Halc, Seyda

Tampa Bay: Halc, Yacks, Chaos

Standings
Halc - 23
Zoron - 20
Chaos - 20
Yacks - 19
Howie - 17
Seyda - 17
Swifty - 15
Val - 15
Bobecc - 12
Ceballa - 6

Halc with the huge move with two correct while our first round leader, Swifty, gets both series wrong (along with Bobecc). His magic ball must be broken!

This is it! Final round. Not sure when it’s going to start, but it’ll be Chicago v Tampa Bay. Get your picks in!

KenathZoron

This is it! The 'ship! Chicago versus Tampa for all the marbles.

Chicago v Tampa Bay

Chicago: 5 - Howie, 6 - Zoron, Val, Bobecc, Seyda, Swifty, 7 - Chaos
Tampa Bay: 6 - Yacks, 7 - Halc

FYI - I sent my pick to Raist via IRC as the Chicago game 7 came to an end. I wanted my pick done and gone well before anyone sent me their picks.

The standings basically could shake out this way - if Chicago wins, first place will be decided by the bonus point between Chaos and me. Third would then come down to bonus point between Howie and Seyda (or a tie if it goes to 7 or ends in 4).

If Tampa Bay wins, Halc wins, Yacks takes second, and Chaos/me tie for third.

I’m voting on a Chicago win since it’s got much more potential… and I don’t want Halc or Yacks to win.

I call bias!

Congrats to all! Another year where there was a ton of people in the running right to the end (potentially 6 of the 10 participants still had a shot at medals).

Stupid Chicago…I shall despoil your city when I get there next week! :stuck_out_tongue:

KeirdaghCantor

Despoil it real good. Just don’t lick things. It’s dirty.
