    15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion

    Welcome, once again, to the 6th Annual FFR NHL Playoff Pick'em Challenge!

    Who will be the next one to step up and claim the title of Playoff Pick'em Champion and follow in the footsteps of the champions before them?

    In fact, let's look at the history now!

    10/11: Reshiram [10-5]
    11/12: pikakirby123 [9-6]
    12/13: trumaestro [11-4]
    13/14: lumphoboextreme; Poison- [10-5*]
    14/15: Kibblre [12-3]

    13/14 Bracket: Kibblre; DarkManticoreX2; Poison- [13 pts each]
    14/15 Bracket: DarkManticoreX2 [14 pts]

    * While 4 people went 10-5, these two won due to the series game total tiebreaker.



    Now for the important stuff:

    THE RULES
    1.) All picks MUST be in before the puck drops on the first game of a round. This does get a little more into crunch time the further a series goes, and I will be lenient (like usual), but I would appreciate it if this was the deadline people focused on.

    2.) NO EDITTING YOUR PICKS! Pick wisely because there's no going back. If picks are editted, you will be disqualified for the round - thus eliminating you from the championship pool - and your post modified.

    3.) In order to be in the running for Playoff Pick'em Champion, you must submit for ALL 4 rounds.

    4.) Have fun.

    5.) Grow those glorious playoff beards.

    -

    THE SET-UP
    All picks are to be made in this format
    Winner vs. Loser

    I will accept abbreviations, or you can just copy/paste the templates I will make round-by-round.

    -

    Returning for a third season, it's
    THE PLAYOFF BRACKET CHALLENGE!
    Like the March Madness tournament, you will pick your FULL round winners, and not just round-by-round.
    Like previous years, this is a separate challenge with a separate prize, and brackets are due at the same deadline as the round 1 picks.

    If you wish to participate, PLEASE MAKE A SEPARATE POST FROM YOUR ROUND CHOICES.

    One other thing, you DON'T need to participate, but, hey, they're free credits: why not?

    You will score points for however many correct winners you have.
    - If you correctly guess the winner in round 1, you score 1 point.
    - If you correctly guess the round winner, and their correct opponent, in rounds 2-4, you score 2 points.
    - If you correctly guess a round winner, but not the correct opponent, you score 1 point. (this will kick in after round 1)

    Ex: You guess BOS v MTL, but in reality, it was BOS v TBL, you would score 1 point for correctly guessing BOS even though they did not play MTL.

    Please remember that teams do not re-seed after the rounds. They will stay inter-division until a "division champion" is crowned.

          Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion

          Alright, once again opening this for discussion. Please don't make picks yet as not all of the spots are confirmed.
          DAL and STL still need to determine 1st and 2nd in the Central;
          LAK and ANA also need to determine 1st and 2nd in the Pacific;
          NYI can pass NYR to take 3rd in the Metropolitan.

              The Flyers can knock out the Bruins, they're 1 point back with 2 games to go whereas all Boston can do is nibble their fingernails nervously.

              Plus, how about the Wings? They fail to get their business done, but after a 6-1 Ottawa roflstomp they're in for the 25th year in a row. That's amazing.

                  I wasn't making this thread until all 16 teams were clinched to win.

                    Figures this still comes down to the last day of the season..
                    If Anaheim wins, they clinch the division. If they lose, LA will.
