So here is my idea..... First round, make your picks. Team that will win and in how many games. For a perfect pick, you get 5 points. For picking the winning team, you get 2. Total of 8 match-ups. Total points for all match ups determines standings. Second round, pick again. 4 match ups. 7 points for a perfect prediction, 3 points for picking the right team. Add second round to the first round for standings. Here is where it gets fun, top 5 in the standings (assuming we get a decent amount of people making predictions) makes the cut. Third round, there is 2 match-ups. Make you predictions again, 10 points for a perfect prediction, 5 points for picking the right team. Add third round to the first 2 rounds. Now for the finals..... anyone of the 5 teams remaining can take the win... 15 points for a perfect prediction....10 points for the right team. Total accumulated points thru the 4 rounds takes the bragging rights. What do you think? :)
You must have your picks in by 3:50 on Wednesday... then let the fun begin.
Here are mine:
Western conference:
Van in 6
Calgary in 6
San Jose in 5
Anaheim in 6
Eastern Conference:
Buffalo in 5
NJ in 6
Atlanta in 7
Pittsburgh in 7
This is for bragging rights, or we could come up with something. Suggestions?
-
I'm in. I'll give you some predictions after some research.
-
Pffttt... research. All mine are on gut instinct. ;D ;D Which is why I am probably going to finish last!!! ;D :D ;D :D

So just for all you sneaky buggars that think you can change your post when your picked teams aren't doing so well.... at 10 to 4 tomorrow I am printing out the thread. So if you want to make changes to your picks, you can do so, but 3:50 tomorrow is the cut off!! ;D
Bonk, put up or shut up. ;D Make your picks for this, you talk big.....PICKS, LETS GO!! ;D
Also anyone else that doesn't have a full list of picks in cannot not be counted and get all the bragging rights when this is all said and done!! ;D
-
Each series the winner I pick will win 4 games.......... ANA will win 16 games total

Read the rules to this particular pool. The way you have done it is not the way it works. You have to pick a specific amount of games each series will go and who will win. It is not that hard. The way everyone else has picked. ;)

"I like to live dangerously" ;D
Sabres are a power forward team against a team with poor defense. They also have a much better goalie.

Good work by Chilliwack's own PP. By the way you should see his fastball from the hill.
Too bad he can not fish as well as he pitches or hits them over the fence at the ball diamonds. ;D ;D
