2013 NHL Playoffs Pool

Recommended Posts

I'm surprised no one has started this yet, considering the playoffs begin tomorrow. :P Are we still doing the prize for a free GA Premium Membership? Anyway, I've won it twice in a row (2010 and 2011) so I figured I'd start the 2013 one. :D

The seeds for the first round are as follows...

Eastern Conference
(1) Pittsburg Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders
(2) Montreal Canadians vs. (7) Ottawa Senators
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) New York Rangers
(4) Boston Bruins vs. (5) Toronto Maple Leafs

Western Conference
(1) Chicago Black Hawks vs. (8) Minnesota Wild
(2) Anaheim Ducks vs. (7) Detroit Red Wings
(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) San Jose Sharks
(4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Los Angeles Kings

Sorry Matt,

 

Usually I kick in my own money to run the pool. Due to unforeseen circumstances I can't really afford to put up the money for the Premium Subscription this year :( .

 

This year will be just for bragging rights I guess :P

 

With that said, here are my picks:

 

Round 1:

Pittsburgh, Ottawa, Washington, Boston

Chicago, Anaheim, Vancouver, LA

 

Round 2:

Pittsburgh, Washington

Chicago, Anaheim

 

Division Finals:

Pittsburgh

Chicago

 

Stanley Cup Final:

Pittsburgh Penguins

 

P.S. I'm going to move this to the Sports Bar with a trail back to the Lounge :)

I'll split the cost with you, if you are willing Mark :)

You suck Steven - that's why I lose. :P But I'll accept those picks, of course.

 

Now maybe if someone would stop focusing so much on the hockey players' sticks... and how they oil them.. and more on the game, I might have better picks. :/

Even though it hurts my bracket, I love seeing Vancouver down 3-0. :D

 

But Matt, Don't you want to see the Canuks go Canuts again after another loss to the B's :P

I'm trying to find sympathy for a team getting eliminated on a shit penalty call in overtime, but it's the Canucks, so I can't find any.

Well I will be 100% honest, I'm not a fan of Vancouver or Toronto.

 

So goodbye Vancouver :)

and soon...Goodbye Toronto :)

 

To add icing to the cake, Dion Pheneuf totally screwed up and gave Boston the opportunity to win in Overtime :D
