2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Welcome, once again, to the 5th Annual FFR NHL Playoff Pick'em Challenge! Picks are CLOSED for Round 4. Code:
QUICK LINKS Po2: Match-Ups Po3: Standings Po4: Bracket 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*] 13/14 Bracket: Kibblre; DarkManticoreX2; Poison- [13 pts. each] * While 4 people went 10-5, these two won due to the series game total tiebreaker. Who will achieve the lofty goal of knocking not one, but TWO people off for a chance at the crown? We'll find out in the 2014/15 edition of FFR Playoff Pick'em! 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 second 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 last year, 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. Last edited by T-Force; 06-3-2015 at 07:23 PM.. |

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
So, just a heads-up, I'm opening this thread early for some hockey chatter, early playoff talk, and other fun things.
We only have 3 days left in the regular season, and there are still a few holes open. IN THE EAST 2 spots are up for grabs between 3 teams: 2 Wild Cards - (A) Boston Bruins [95 - 1] (A) Ottawa Senators [97 - 1] (M) Pittsburgh Penguins [96 - 2] IN THE WEST 2 spots are up for grabs between 3 teams: Pacific 3rd, Final Wild Card - (C) Winnipeg Jets [96 - 2] (clinches with a win) (P) Calgary Flames [95 - 2] (clinches with a win) (P) Los Angeles Kings [93 = 2] Last edited by T-Force; 04-9-2015 at 09:25 PM.. |

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
I don't know how long it will be until I'm over the fact that Detroit isn't in the West anymore...

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Well with Boston losing to Florida, the Islanders clinch, and Detroit clinches as well (thanks to an OT loss).
EDIT: KINGS ARE OUT! KINGS ARE OUT! OPERATION REGICIDE IS A SUCCESS! JETS CLINCH! FLAMES CLINCH! Last edited by T-Force; 04-9-2015 at 10:41 PM.. |

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Thank you Flames. And thank you Panthers. Today was a good day. Except I really don't like shootouts
Now to get ready for Saturday. Sens should be okay against the Flyers but I really would like to see Boston get shut down again just in case

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Last day of the regular season!
The final seedings will be determined, and the pick selections will open as soon as all the seedings are finalized. Possibly after NSH-DAL, or as far as VAN-EDM (last game of the season). |

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Last day of the regular season!
The final seedings will be determined, and the pick selections will open as soon as all the seedings are finalized. Possibly after NSH-DAL, or as far as VAN-EDM (last game of the season). EDIT: Ottawa is in! From 1 Canadian team, to 5 in the span of a year! So the final spot will be tossed up between Pittsburgh and Boston. PIT plays BUF. They have 96 points from 42-27-12 and 38 ROW. BOS plays TBL. They have 95 points from 41-27-13 and 37 ROW. PIT clinches with: a win; an OT/SO loss coupled with a BOS loss in any form, or a BOS win in SO; a reg loss coupled with a BOS loss in any form. BOS clinches with: a win coupled with a PIT reg loss; a reg/OT win coupled with any form of PIT loss. PIT currently holds the ROW tiebreaker, but that could be matched with a BOS reg/OT win. If PIT loses in OT, and BOS wins in reg/OT, we'd go to the 3rd tiebreaker: Head-to-head. This season, the games have gone as such: PIT 3 - BOS 2 (OT) BOS 3 - PIT 2 (OT) BOS 2 - PIT 0 Ergo, BOS wins that tiebreaker. Either way. tl;dr: BOSTON NEEDS TO WIN OR ELSE THEY'RE TOAST.

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Proud of Winnipeg getting in the playoffs btw.
That team has been in the shitter ever since they came into the league, and it's nice to see Canadian teams get in the playoffs (As long as they don't beat my bbys the Red Wings). |

Re: 2014/15 NHL Playoff Pick'em
Thank you Lord Jesus that there are multiple Canadian teams in the playoffs this year.
