NHL Playoff Pool

[stormin]

[SIZE=6]It's that time again so.........Step right up, step right up...sign up for the NHL Playoff pool.[/SIZE]

Here's how it works. Make the following 2 predictions.

• Predict which team will win the Stanley Cup.
• Predict the time of the last goal in the final game. (i.e. 10:15, 3rd period)

If you are the only player to pick the team who wins the cup, then you win. If more then one player picks the winning team, then the player who comes closest to the time of the last goal wins. Losing players will each send the winner 3 cigars. Make up to 3 predictions (maximum of 3), but each prediction will cost you 3 cigars. Picks must be in by noon Saturday, April 12th.

Simple? Yes. Let the fun begin!

Hard to pick one clear cut favorite this year.

Detroit win the President's Trophy.
San Jose is smokin' hot.
Anaheim can't score, but will it matter in the playoffs when everyone tightens up?
The Pens have Crosby and Malkin and a hot goalie.
Dallas has an awesome team on paper, but stumbled into the playoffs.
The Canadiens are better then anyone could have predicted and have another hot rookie goalie.
Ovechkin is a monster.
Calgary is always tough in the playoffs and Iginla is having a great year.

too many choices..........

Can Crosby and Malkin et al get it done? Will Crosby's ankle hold up? Stay tuned....

[SIZE=4]stevefrench - Canadiens - 3rd period - 18:36[/SIZE]

An original pick for a frenchmen..............Is Price the 3rd coming of Ken Dryden? If the Canadiens win the cup will Guy Carboneau stop looking as though he is going to burst into tears at any second? Can Montreal afford the property damage if the Canadiens win?

Do you really think the Red Wings have the horses to get it done? Don't they have too many Europeans on the roster to have enough heart and grit for the long run? Won't Hasek flop around on the ice like a fish out of water and embarrass his own team and coach? Won't old man Chelios be embarrassed if they win but he's too feable to lift the cup over his head?

So many questions........

Caps (gotta go with the home team) 3d period 15:00.

Calgary (gotta try them again this year) 3d period 11:00.

Beat that.

Might help to remind everyone who won last year - how many cigars he ended up etc. Only 2 and a wake-up before the big games.
