Hey y'all can't actually pick the Rangers anymore, since they won. Have to pick the Habs. Just in case it changed your numbers.

Yea all Rangers picks after the game are getting switched to Habs. Same games unless I hear otherwise.

i don't think it is really a problem leaving the people who picked the rangers after the first game as it is really as long as they didn't pick a sweep for the rangers or something since there was only like 12 hours to make the picks between the end of the kings/ducks and beginning of the habs/rangers. maybe just give them a deduction of however many points instead?

Forgot about this thread. I realize I have to pick the Kings and Habs now, so for my offical picks I will go with:

Kings in 7
Canadiens in 7


If I had remembered in time, I would have gone with (this includes assuming Price wouldn't be injured):

Kings in 7 (unchanged)
Rangers in 6

Alright, taking off for a few days - likely till the start of the finals. Here's a quick update:


Stickarts posted:

Stanley Cup winning team:

Conn Smythe winner:

Number of OT games: 20

Number of suspensions: 4

Total goals of entire playoffs: 455

Total goals of the finals:

Carey Price's gaa and s%:2.35/.919

Which 1990-present expansion team will go furthest (tie breaker of total wins, and, failing that, goals for): Anaheim

The "worst" team (aka the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the cup winner):

Total number of game 7's played: 6

Total number of sweeps: 1

Leading goal scorer/leading goal total (10 per): Gaborik 10

Player with most pim/total (10 per): Pat Maroon: 38

Number of too many men penalties: 16



# of OTs: Currently Habibi, HoottheOwl, Jordan7hm and Twin Cinema are on the button for number of OTs (20). So cheer for blowouts, you four! Assuming there are <5 OTs left there are about a score of you who still have a shot at that.

# of Suspensions: Only 24 of you figured there would beat least this many suspensions. Prust and Carcillo kinda killed it for like half of you. Currently

are still alive. Twin Cinema has only 20 goals left till death, darkwolf220 the most at 74. There are at minimum 6 games left.


Carey Price: :siren: We might have a winner! :siren: Assuming Price is locked into injury reports, his stat line will end at 2.35/.919. This makes Rutkowski, who predicted 2.35/.918 a Nazi-fighting hockey Nostradamus! Kreez, at 2.37/.918 is hideous and stupid.


The Angry Bum has already locked in best 90s expansion (Anaheim) and, having correctly guessed the tiebreaker (7 wins), will be scoring an extra 5 points or whatever it was I decided on.


22 of you are on the button with the prediction of 6 game 7s. 36 of you are still in the running here. whatis predicted a tour through hell this postseason, with every single series, plus three more imaginary ones, going to game 7.


32 of you are holding tight with Montreal sweeping Tampa being the only one. With a max of 2 sweeps remaining, this leaves 54 of you still going. Congratulations.


Nobody picked Gaborik to lead the league in goals. Huzzah.


And this has truly been a bumper harvest for HOW MUCH TOO MUCH MANS. Already 16 total, which means :siren: Rutkowski :siren: is in line for a second bonus! Wow! Nobody picked 18, 19, or 20 so there is a decent chance nobody wins this. Useless, just like an illegal substitution.

Just for clarity, I found an easy way to satisfy my desire to increase the value of latter rounds without being ridiculous - I kept the 5/10 point bonus for perfect team predictions/perfect team+length predictions in place the Conference Finals, thus making them an easier target to hit. As for the finals, correct team/length will net you an extra 5, while predicting the skater who scores the cup-winning goal will also be worth 5 points. I'm on the fence about right team/length being worth 11 points, but Because It's The Cup and whatever. I will let y'all know if I change my mind before the start of the series.
