TetRefine Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Well in the East, Boston and Montreal easily wrap up their series. The Flyers are giving New York a much tougher fight than I expected, and Pittsburgh can't seem to put down a mediocre team. The West is much tighter, except for the California matchup. LA went down 3-0, won game 4, and is now up 3-0 in game 5. As much as I would like to seem them win, I doubt they can come from 3 games down. I love playoff hockey!

Ashi Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 :sighs: I thought San Jose's fight was going to be a little easier, but I guess LA Kings have always been SJ Shark's worst enemy.... Next game is at LA Kings.... I would bet on the 7th game. Link to comment
Kitt Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What if you get some of the brackets wrong but you do pick some right and ultimately chose the correct champion? The champ pick with the most correct brackets is declared winner? Or do some wrong bracket picks early DQ you? Link to comment
TetRefine Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 What if you get some of the brackets wrong but you do pick some right and ultimately chose the correct champion? The champ pick with the most correct brackets is declared winner? Or do some wrong bracket picks early DQ you? The way we've done it in the past is by points I believe. You got 1 point for picking the correct winner in each series in each round, and whoever had the most point at the end wins. So it's not necessarily based on picking the right Stanley Cup winner in the end, but rather consistently right picks throughout the playoffs. So even if you pick the right champion, if your other picks were bad in previous rounds it pretty much screws you. Link to comment
Mark Arbour Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Crap. Well, I didn't pick the winner. Link to comment

I thought for sure i can get a few upsets :* Link to comment
TetRefine Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Remember what I said about San Jose being choke artists? Congrats to LA. Thats a helluva comeback. Link to comment

Ashi Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Figured.... So now the standing is? I'll do it.Western Conference:Central:Minnesota Wild vs Chicago BlackhawksPacific:LA Kings vs Anaheim Ducks Eastern Conference: Atlantic: Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens Metro: NY Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins The only upset I would say is Avalanche's lost to Minnesota.... The others are not really surprises. I voted before my research, so I sort of predicted Rangers probably will triumph over Philadelphia already, and same goes to Blackhawks over Blues. Given the direction SJ coach did which goes against Sharks players' general sentiment, I thought it was a major morale hit at Game 6 by pulling off Nemo..., so I sort of feared my home team might not able to pull it, if they couldn't play with level heads at Game 7.... Oh well. Maybe next season. We do have a strong line up of players. Edited May 1, 2014 by Ashi Link to comment
pennywise Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well, after Colorado got knocked out I will be hoping the Bruins or Canadians take out the cup... couldn't stand to see it if the Blackhawks won again lol Link to comment
W_L Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Oh how the mighty have fallen... Never again will I base a bracket on longshots and upsets. Still, Go Bruins! Link to comment
Kitt Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think I got my matchings screwed up for this round, but if I get REALLY lucky I might just survive. Link to comment
TetRefine Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Canadiens fans yet again showing how much of a classy bunch they are.... http://nesn.com/2014/05/canadiens-fans-throw-garbage-at-milan-lucic-as-he-exits-ice-gif/ Link to comment
FrenchCanadian Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Montreal, New York, Chicago.... still too early to add the Ducks.... I guess I have a newly found talent in making predictions! Canadiens fans yet again showing how much of a classy bunch they are.... http://nesn.com/2014/05/canadiens-fans-throw-garbage-at-milan-lucic-as-he-exits-ice-gif/ Umm, I guess you rapidly forgot the throwing debris and racist comments after a lost.... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/p-k-subban-targeted-by-racist-tweets-after-habs-win-1.2629759 Also, I guess it's much classier to spray water at the opponent during a game, right? It's a good thing that the Bruins found Price's weakness after game 2.... TetRefine, It's all good fun, it was a nice series, both team played well Starting to believe in 25....
