Btw, chance are, since they, the blues, always seem to win in washington, and they are p'd off the the max, that this may end up being a 2-4 series in the blues favor.

 

Edit: I had to combine last year and this year to get that total of: Well never mind.... it still doesn't work, yet I don't care. St. Louis is my pick, and they are gonna win it, lol.

I can't believe they lost :cry: Why do the Blues always do that when they manage to kick some ass in round one? Oh well, didn't hurt anyone unless myk picked LA. If he did, it's his win this year, more than likely.

So how did that plan work out? Posted Image

So I went for Los Angeles over Vancouver, as I felt with Sutter behind then bench, they would do much better than if they didn't. What I honestly didn't expect was them to manhandle the overall #1 and #3 team overall in the league so easily :unsure:

 

I really felt this was St. Louis' year to shine.

 

I will say that I've always maintained Sutter is a great coach. He took the Flames to the Stanley Cup Finals when really they didn't have the talent to be there, on the stat sheet. He is an amazing coach, I just wish he would keep out of the Front Office and not try to be General Manager.

 

Could this be a repeat with LA in the Finals? Quick is playing well enough to take em there.

This picture is fake, or at least the sign is. I saw the same exact picture where the sign said, 'Hey Tyler remember us, we sucked your dick in high school'. :P If that is true, I would love to be the lovely lady who went down on him. Posted Image

If they are man enough to take the blues down, I suppose I should root for 'em in the end. I won't be a sore loser, lol. Lets go... eh, I just can't do it, lol.

The explicit sign is the photoshop. The two minutes for hooking was the real version. It was also not in Boston, but at the Islanders. You can tell because the Bruins are in their road whites, but the crowd is mostly Bruins fans anyways. The real sign:

Well some strange things have happened in this round. There is still a few people that can score more points based on the four remaining teams, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New York and New Jersey. Heck someone even got points even though they didn't pick the second round correct (Nate ;) )

 

So here is the order:

 

Bill W - 20 points

Red A - 20 points

Percy - 20 points

 

Ramon - 25 points

BlueSoxSWJ - 25 points

Wildone - 25 points

TetRefine - 25 points

 

Rakuten06 - 30 points

Krista - 30 points

W_L - 30 points

Jonathan C - 30 points

Myk - 30 points

Houdini - 30 points

 

NateB - 35 points

Andy021278 - 35 points

 

And the leader after 2 rounds.............................TrevorTime with 45 points!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you think that Trevor will win it all, it is actually too early to say :) Yes, some people don't have any teams left, but the ones that do could sneak up and surprise Trevor ;)

These were my picks for the final two rounds:

 

Third Round

 

NY Rangers

St. Louis

-----------------------------------

Stanley Cup Winner

New York Rangers

 

 

EDIT: according to my calculations, only one person can tie me, and that's if he goes 3 for 3 in the final two rounds.

Congrats Trevor.

 

I proved my initial statement when I got involved in this. I don't follow hockey, but gave it a try. I figured if the woman in the office can win the March Madness pool, I might have a chance - NOT. lol

Don't fret Bill,

 

i think most of us didn't expect to win.

 

i am lucky at the moment to be stuck in 3rd place tie even if all i did was guess based on defense and shot averages.

So after a very short overtime period, the New Jersey Devils scored quickly to put the New York Rangers out on to the golf course. Now it will be interesting to see if the New Jersey Devils have more than five games in them against the basically unchallenged LA Kings.

 

I said there may be movement, and there was Posted Image Special kudos goes to one of our overseas entrants who actually has a impressive distinction at the end of this round. Johnathan Colourfield was the only person to score any points in this round by picking the New Jersey Devils to win and is the only one out of all of us to actually pick one of the teams to be going to the Stanley Cup. So I say we all officially suck, and you John, rule Posted Image .

 

Here is the standings if anyone cares:

 

Bill W - 20 points

Red A - 20 points

Percy - 20 points

 

Ramon - 25 points

BlueSoxSWJ - 25 points

Wildone - 25 points

TetRefine - 25 points

 

Rakuten06 - 30 points

Krista - 30 points

W_L - 30 points

Myk - 30 points

Houdini - 30 points

 

NateB - 35 points

Andy021278 - 35 points

Jonathan C - 35 points

 

And the current leader (and unofficial winner Posted Image ) is Trevor with his 45 points.

 

So lets have some fun here....Let's post who you think will win between LA and NJ and in how many games Posted Image
