its going to be close with just 6 games to go

It's hard to admit but they are shot.

if they make the playoffs and don't have to face the canucks in the first series, then there is some hope

whew, the hawks needed those two points against the lowly blue jackets

wow man...it's going to be a tight one out west. The great thing about hockey is that when the playoffs start it's a whole new season, seems like everyones got a legit shot no matter the seeding...getting that last spot though, gonna need some solid skating and a bit of luck.

yea, i've been sweating this for the last two weeks
with 2 games left for the hawks and both against the wings i was getting worried especially with the stars having a hone-home series against the 'lanch
but with zetterberg on the bench for these last two, the hawks won in detroit
now all they need is 1 point and they're in
still would love not having to face the canucks in the first round
they are the class of the west
i still think the cup winner will come from the east
but as you said, the playoffs are a new season and everyone has a legit shot
should be a great playoff

I can't believe we squeaked our way in.

by the grace of the hockey gods, thank you minnesota
but what's our reward..............we face the president trophy winning canucks
i still like our chances

anyone up for a Stanely Cup playoffs pool, gentlemens bet only

round 1, 8 matchups:
1 point for choosing the winner
2 points for choosing the number of games

round 2, 4 matchups:
2 point for choosing the winner
3 points for choosing the number of games

round 3 (Conference Finals), 2 matchups:
3 point for choosing the winner
4 points for choosing the number of games

round 4 (Cup Finals) 1 matchup:
4 point for choosing the winner
5 points for choosing the number of games

You only make your predictions one round at a time.

Any interest?

I'm terrible at such things. Opening against the Canucks.. worried, but optimistic.

You have nothing to lose but your pride!

holy shit, the hockey gods were looking over you guys yesterday...can't believe 3 teams had a "win, your in" scenario and nobody could close the deal. My anxiety level spikes a bit this time of year, best of luck to your squads unless you play the caps.

nice spreadsheet skills loner, thanks for setting it all up. Yeah man caps are looking good but i've learned my lesson after going up on the pens 2-0 in 2009 and up on the habs 3-1 in 2010 and loosing both, so i'm cautiously optimistic. The hawks got a tough pull man, vancouver has just been cruising all year.
