meow Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The season ends on Sunday and we still don't know all the playoffs match-ups yet but let's get ready anyway!! Last year winner was Lefty (aka comatose), let's see if he can do it again 2016: Lefty 2015: Hobbit 2014: don't remember! (copy pasted from last year thread ) Here's how it works: We give a rank to each teams from 1 to 16 16 = the team you think has the best chance to win the Stanley Cup 15 = the team you think has the 2nd best chance to win the Stanley Cup ... 1 = the team you think has no chance to win the first round After each round, you are awarded points using the rank you gave to the winning teams 1st round = rank x 1pts 2nd round = rank x 2pts 3rd round = rank x 4pts final round = rank x 8pts Example: I give Chicago a rank of 14 and they lose in the 3rd round. 1st round = 14 x 1 = 14 pts 2nd round = 14 x 2 = 28 pts 3rd round = 0 pts final round = 0 pts So Chicago gave me 42pts. We do this with every team and add up all the points. You can post your picks here or send them to me by PM if you don't want everyone to copy you before playoffs starts. I will post everyone's picks together when the playoffs begins. You have until Wednesday April 12 (until the first game starts) to send me your picks or make changes to them. Let's try to get every hockey fan in this pool. The more the merrier! Here is the NHL playoffs tree to help you with your choices. (Wait until Monday to have the real match-ups) https://www.nhl.com/stanley-cup-playoffs/ Good luck to everyone!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3ftY. Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Leafs should go far if they don't face Washington in the first round and beat Columbus today. Anyway I'm in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Rantala Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Will base my predictions to my earlie season predictions. Example i predict Anaheim in lose to conference finals and i keep that, but for those teams who i predict in but are outside i fill on those teams who got playoff spot and who i didnt predict in playoffs. Here first my earlie season prediction 16. Minnesota (35 overal rating) 15. Tampa Bay (36) 14. Washington (36,5) 13. Anaheim (32) 12. Chicago (37,5) 11. Pittsburgh (35,5) 10.San Jose (34,5) 9. Florida (32,5) 8. Los Angeles (34,5) 7. New York R (34) 6. St. Louis (34) 5. Nashville (33,5) 4. Detroit (33) 3. Dallas (32,5) 2. Montreal (32,5) 1. Boston Bruins (31,5) Now to this year playoffs, i think Boston can surprise and elimate Washington. Tuukka Rask is goalie who can win series by himself, like he did against Pittsburght couple year ago. For Wild, they get Yeo (STL) against and old coach has always advange, that has seen from past, so we will not have easy to win that serie. But i believe we win it in game six and then see Hawks and win them too and then we see Anaheim and win them too and then i believe we see Washington or Pittsburgh or Columbus and win that too. Ofc it would be nice to see baddle against Toronto, but they remind me a lot on Wild couple year ago, Toronto have very young team and in this year they will take it as learning and bank up playoffs experience for coming seasons long runs. Edm also will take this year as learning process remind me a lot about Colorado couple year ago when Colorado was playing against Wild. Colorado was then very young team, who was close to win Wild (game went to game seven overtime where Nino made goal for us). Columbus can surprise and win serie against PIT, because PIT is without Letang and CLB has season best goal between pipes. So this team is my "Wild Card" for the playoffs and can play in conference finals and even in the finals depent on how hot Bob will be. So to my official playoff pool, i will replace those teams who didnt get playoff spot to those who was highest in my early season rankings. I dont change my early season predictions teams places who i predicted to playoffs, so Mtl stay at place two, even that i think they will go longer in the playoffs, but i want base my prediction to my earlie season predictions and see how well i can perform against u, who can do playoff pool now after seeing whole season. This way i am happy and meow is happy, last year i was not able to take part because i was not allowed to use my earlie season prediction what is still in my mind wrong, because it would not hurt anyone if i would have predict couple already outside team. But this year we can find way to satisfie both. So here they come 16. Minnesota (35 overal rating) 15. Toronto (31) 14. Washington (36,5) 13. Anaheim (32) 12. Chicago (37,5) 11. Pittsburgh (35,5) 10.San Jose (34,5) 9. Calgary (31) 8. Edmonton (30) 7. New York R (34) 6. St. Louis (34) 5. Nashville (33,5) 4. Columbus (29,5) 3. Ottawa (28,5) 2. Montreal (32,5) 1. Boston Bruins (31,5) I think Lefty will like who i predict in the Stanley finals from east 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3ftY. Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) something tells me there will be a lot of upsets this playoffs. teams expected to go far won't and teams not expected to will. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. 11. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

von Rantala Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Why after year after year, ppls keep putting Wild in the lowest points. You should watch Wild hockey more! At least Purple put Wild higher. At least it mean lose to those who put Wild in down when they make long run and show how less you all know on Wild. Ofc Wild meet hot team, second hottest after Washington, but hey we are NHL deepest team and when Dubnyk get his game back we will won Cup and in last three game Dubnyk has been good again.

L3ftY. Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Why after year after year, ppls keep putting Wild in the lowest points... My prediction is they'll win the cup. I see the Caps being too overconfident again and the Leafs taking them to 7 games. I also see the Wild possibly having an easier road to the cup, making them favorites in my book...and i don't watch them much at all. If there is any darkhorse this year that can go all the way, it could be Boston. They're a tough in-your-face physical team and and if Rask is on his game they can go far....but i hope not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbit Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 16. Hawks 15. Capitals 14. Bruins 13. Ducks 12. Wild 11. CBJ 10. Oilers 9. Canadiens 8. Blues 7. Pens 6. Rangers 5. Sharks 4. Leafs 3. Flames 2. Preds 1. Senators Unless the Caps choke once again they have a great chance at finally making the Finals. I think CBJ has the best chance for an upset in the first round over the Pens, although with the Blues being hot right now I think we might see that matchup taken to Game 7. If the Hawks meet the Wild in Rd 2 I think the series will be interesting but history shows that the Hawks have Minnesota's number in the playoffs. The Leafs might have gone far but I think the Caps are just the better team, not to mention their curse doesn't kick in until the second round. If the Hawks do end up playing the Caps in the final I think both have a good chance of winning, but personally think that the Finals experience the Hawks have will help them out in the end 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisje Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Uuuh alot harder than last year xDHow much I hope that the leafs work hard to beat the capitals, I think they do lack some play off experience and will not succeed to go to the next round16.
