Téma: 2016 NHL Playoff Predictions

Woo I'm not last! Does that mean of the 4 I guessed correct I got 3 lengths correct?

Will the Final Cup be worth more points then the previous series?

Also...Coach2live PLEASE pick the Sharks. You know you want to.

You got the number of games correct for the first and second series for the Blues and for the first series for the Capitals. I've only been counting the number of games as correct if the correct winner was also chosen.

You are still in first for number of games guessed correctly after 3 rounds. There are 5 other people with 2 points in that category.

Ooooooooo in that case I better get my pick in now so people can copy

Sharks in 7. If not 7 then 5 just to piss off Matts

***************************************************
CUMULATIVE ROUND 1-3 RESULTS
***************************************************


1) SERIES GUESSED CORRECTLY (NUMBER OF GAMES CORRECT)

Mattssupersteelers - 10 (2)
coach2live - 10 (0)
Captain97G - 9 (2)
MintBerry Crunch - 9 (2)
capsaicin - 7 (2)
ramsback - 7 (2)
Habsdabest - 7 (2)
PuckNut27 - 6 (1)
canucks357 - 4 (3)
mmessner9 - 4 (0)

Note that there have been 14 series so far.
Mattssupersteelers jumped into first.
Captain97G moved up for the second series in a row.
The top 4 managers can all win.
capsaicin and ramsback caught up to Habsdabest.
I forgot to count a post in which ramsback said both series could go 7 games in my earlier response about the tiebreaker rankings.
canucks357 remains in 9th ahead of the manager that didn't participate in the last round.

2) is a separate contest. I decided to track the predictions of the Stanley Cup champion and Runner-Up because a handful of manager made those predictions but did not make make predictions for each series.

The finals are worth just 1 point. It's too late to decide to give more points for later rounds.

SJS 4 - PIT 2

So it looks like if I get the series correct I win. I would edge out Coach for number of games ... Wow a lot of pressure. Looks like if the other 3 want to win. They all need to go opposite of what I go.

Wait so was your official pick Sharks in 7 or Sharks in 5? Wouldn't want to fall into last...

The former. Latter is what I had typed and changed.

It seems so. I suppose that eliminate MintBerry Crunch and Captain97G if coach2live picks a different team.

Do you think the Penguins should trade Fleury next season? They could make Murray the starter, get some assets, and clear a lot of cap space. You wouldn't want the same thing to happen to Murray that happened to Bobrovsky with the Flyers.
