bunnyofdoom: Mar 29, 2008; Jaxxon: Still not the stupidest thing from the expanded universe.

Lots of people picking bruins over sens, despite the season series being 4-0 sens....

EDIT:

Toxx compilation

Ongoing Toxxes

If the Perds win I'm getting a Subban jersey. I already have a Gill jersey, but I will be the proud owner of 2 Nashville sweaters. Even if they beat the Pens.

My wife wants to go to a game in Nashville because she has realized that they are, in her opinion, the best looking team in the league. I'm ok with that because I would love to go back and see a game there

Schlesische posted:

If Nashville wins the Stanley Cup, I will get a Bergevin/Subban Avatar, as well as text chosen by HAS and will keep it until either I can get my Habs sweater done up with 76 and Subban or I get given an avatar by someone or something else.
I live in Australia, so this might take a while.

If the Predators beat the Blues, I will buy a Preds baseball cap, made by Buffalo's own New Era Cap.

If the Predators win the WCF, I will buy a Filip Forsberg shirsey.

If the Predators win Lord Stanley's Cup, I will buy a jersey of whoever wins the Conn Smythe.

Edit: if the Preds lose to the Blues, I will donate $20 to a charity picked by a Blues fan.

If the Preds lose the WCF or the Stanley Cup Final, same deal but with a fan of whoever they lose to.

I'm gonna grab a Reebok Preds hat because I really want the yellow one and New Era doesn't make one

Also I am going to wear each item during each of their subsequent games until the end.

Edit: just ordered it, should be here Tuesday

bunnyofdoom posted:

My Toxx is as such.

Since I am prohibited from drinking for medical reasons until May 5th, on that day, I shall drink one beer for every game the sens lost.

(Not good enough?)

Real Toxx:

I will buy an avatar of whatever team knocks the sens out of the playoffs, which two special cases.
1. Should the leafs make it farther then the sens, then the avatar will instead be a leafs one
2. Should the sens win the cup, it will be a Karlsson and/or Anderson one.

(Also, for every round the sens make, I will donate $20 to the Canadian Cancer Society, with an additional $50 if they win the cup.)

Round 2

If the Preds beat the blues I'll buy a PK Subban shirt

glynnenstein posted:

Caps in 5
Rangers in 6

Ducks in 5
Preds in 7

If the Preds are eliminated by the Blues, I'll donate $30 to the PK Subban Foundation so we can get more awesome pictures of PK smiling and being happy, which will probably cure all those kids.

If the Caps are eliminated by the Pens, I'll donate $50 to the Kids on Ice program so that there will be skilled children to skate over my grave after I overdose on The Narrative.

Round 1

IMHO, the absolute, definitive ceiling the Maple Leafs will have this postseason is the ECF, and that's only if they get a point tomorrow. I have no delusion in thinking we'd get past against any team in the Metropolitan Division.

In fact, if the Toronto Maple Leafs make the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, I will fly to Toronto from Austin to watch Games 4-7 (almost certainly at Maple Leaf Square)

glynnenstein posted:

My first round picks are:

MTL in 6
BOS in 4
WAS in 6
CBJ in 7
NSH in 6
MIN in 5
CGY in 6
EDM in 7

Going with charity for the losers if I'm wrong on these:

If Ottawa gets by Boston I will donate $20 to the fuckin Shawn Thornton Foundation. lol

If Chicago knocks off Nashville I will donate $20 to the PK Subban Foundation to cheer him up.

If Toronto beats the Caps I will donate $40 to the Kids on Ice program at the Ft Dupont Ice Arena to help restock the Caps with talent down the road. (Pretty sure that's how it works.)

The most hockey thing, obviously, is to make it conditional:
An av to a Pred's fan they never score again.
+A shirtsey if they win a game
+ An ebay jersey if they win the series.
+ if they win the cup I'll change my senior thesis from labor movements Illinois utilities as they pertain to industrialization to something about how there's a player's union yet so many athletes come out for Trump or whatever. Or the cultural appropriation of pizza. Whichever is funnier because who cares never going to happen.

Remember how I said that we'd have a competition? Well we're endorsing this one. The top prize is a forums upgrade of YOUR CHOOSING! Avatar, platinum, archives, no ads, pick one and you got it.

The worst prize is THE AVATAR OF SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME (TM). Note, if you've already toxxed your avatar on the results of the NHL playoffs, you're immune! So if you have the worst bracket, and you bet your avatar elsewhere, it'll go to the 2nd worst one!

So...my Toxx says I get a new av if I'm right too. Does that mean my prize is my toxx av?

Alright then, let's look at the toxxes for round 1.

EDIT:

Alright, still not drinking, but Sens lost twice to the Bruins, therefore I will have to add 2 Sam Adams to the total.

As well, Sens, haven't been knocked out, and leafs have so clause 1 is not valid anymore, therefore, I either get a sens av, or whoever knocks em out.

As well, I ahve set aside $20 to donate, and iwll when the Sens run ends
