You guys do know if you're picking your expansion team to win 16 games they must also necessarily be the Cup winners, right? E: unless the tiebreaker doesn't have to comply with the other picks, I guess

As it is a tiebreaker, they're just ensuring they're gonna lose, I guess. Bilirubin has 90s teams winning the cup twice in his predictions. Totally covering his bases! e. 84 entrants. That's drat near significant! Stickarts fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Apr 17, 2014 |

Anyway - here's the first of a few different ways I'm gonna try and present the info, because if you're going to tabulate, you better tabulate: It's late but I'm fairly certain that within .1 Boston's picks average to a 5.5 game series and Detroit's 6.5.

Ok, first up, just some simple results. Interestingly, Colorado is the heaviest favourite of SAS NHL hive mind. The closest vote wasn't very close - TBL v Montreal's 34 v 50

Check the second one for the second half of the pick'em challenge. Oh, and I am missing someone's vote for SJS v LAK. Would y'all mind confirming I got your name? Too many spreadsheets and graphs right now. I will get the second half tallied up in a bit here. As well as day one stats update. Stickarts fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Apr 17, 2014 |

first update: Number of OT games: 1 Total goals of entire playoffs: 23 Total goals of the finals: 31 Carey Price's gaa and s%: 3.08/.840 - There are far too many of you close to these numbers. Leading goal scorer: Stamkos, 2 Player with most pim: Letang/Gonchar: 4  Too much man : 2!!!

Pleads posted:Puck over glass has at least two Yea I was considering picking that as well, but TOO MUCH MAN has such historical significance. What can I say, I'm a petty man - gently caress Don Cherry. Anyway, more graphs! Cup winners first, and then players with 3+ Conn Smythe votes. Also, 6 of you have the goal scoring record being broken, the highest by Stamkos with 25 (!). At 2 gpg, he only has to make it to the second round to do it!   Also, our first real batch of Red Xs!  and then ShyftedOne... more like ShaftedOne!  He currently leads the way with 2 red Xs! (Columbus sweeping Pittsburgh doesn't help matters.)

Oh wow, people really were concerned about St. Louis' rough patch at the end. I thought I read a few years ago that how a team finishes a season has no correlation with how they do in the playoffs?

I thought I read a few years ago that how a team finishes a season has no correlation with how they do in the playoffs? It normally doesnt. You have to remember that their reason for the rough patch was injuries though, many without return dates (or at minimum, later in the playoffs). That was why people were picking Chicago.

I'm an hour late because of dealing with a car crash yesterday and the aftermath/towing BS today. I haven't looked at any of the games tonight and have a good excuse Eastern Conference Boston vs. Detroit - Boston in 5: Bigger, meaner, better, deeper team. Pittsburgh vs Columbus - Pittsburgh in 5: Columbus in 7. Go go Dubi! Tampa Bay vs. Montreal - Habs in 6: Eh? New York Rangers vs. Philadelphia - Rangers in 4: Maximum homerism Western Conference Anaheim vs. Dallas - Ducks in 5: Stars are good this year but the Ducks have perhaps an even more powerful playoff duo. Colorado vs. Minnesota - Avs in 5: The Wild has some x factors, but the Avs just overpower them, especially in goal. Yeah, I didn't make a joke about beating them in net. :colbert St. Louis vs. Chicago - Hawks in 6: Looks like a good series, they both have some injuries, they both have some great players and good depth, but it's pretty easy to envision the Hawks being better in the playoffs. San Jose[/b/ vs. LA - Sharks in 6: Dustin Brown can only kill so many people. Bonus Round! Stanley Cup winning team: New York Rangers (a man can dream, right?) Conn Smythe winner: Henrik Lundqvist Number of OT games: 22 Number of suspensions: 3 Total goals of entire playoffs: 387 Total goals of the finals: 17 Carey Price's gaa and s%: 2.24 .913sv% Which 1990-present expansion team will go furthest (tie breaker of total wins, and, failing that, goals for): Sharks - 14 and 54 The "worst" team (aka the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the cup winner): Philadelphia Flyers Total number of game 7's played: 6 Total number of sweeps: 3 Leading goal scorer/leading goal total (10 per): Martin St. Louis (11) Player with most pim/total (10 per): Derek Dorsett (47) TOO MUCH MAN #: [b]6

Second Official Pick 'em™ Standings Update We are officially ½ way done the first round! (4/15 series are already over  )The scoring breakdown for this round is as follows: 6 points for getting both series winner and length of series correct 2 points for picking the right team 2 points for picking the right number of games lazerwolf, whatis, Xtanstic are officially a cut above the rest, having nailed 3 out of 4 series perfectly (length/winner). That's.... actually pretty impressive. Note that I have been kind enough to drop into the bottom 10 to make room for all of you. I went for the underdog flavour and, as often happens, that milk soured fast. SAS pick 'em Standings update posted:1-lazerwolf 20 Stickarts fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Apr 29, 2014 |
