Here's how you play:

For each matchup, you must pick a team and the number of games.

If you get the right team, you get 2 points.
If you get the right number of games, you get 2 points.
If you are off the number of games by +/- 1, you get 1 point.

Points are double in the 2nd round.
Points are tripled in the 3rd round.
Points are quadrupled in the 4th round.

(for those that don't know...each series is a best of 7 series...so you MUST win 4 games to advance)

For example, if I say "Dallas over Anaheim in 6" and Dallas wins in 7, I get 2 points for the right team and 1 point for being off by 1 game. If I say Minnesota over Colorado in 6 and the Aves win the series in 6, I get 2 points for picking the right number of games - but 0 for picking the wrong team.

You MUST make your Round 3 picks before round 3 starts. Round 4 will allow you to make all new picks.

I've gotta go with my heart.

Dallas in 6

Philly in 7





(How awesome would that be...there's no love lost between Dallas and Philly because of the Cowboys/Eagles thing.....it would be a great, great Stanley Cup series)

I gotta go with my head...even though my heart is giving my head the double finger and calling into question the lineage of my brain.

Detroit in 6 !#*$!&@!!$@#$!
Pitt in 7





GO STARS!!! Make my head a liar.

This is the first time I've really wanted to downvote you, Tom....


(it also means Moe picks Dallas and Philly)

You know as well as I do that Hokey Town (not mispelled) is in Dallas' head and has been for years. The Stars go brain dead whenever they see that red sweater on the other side of the face off. I'm praying that this year, they can ignore who they're playing and break through, but we'll see.


GO STARS!!!!

Detroit in 5 :-)
Philly in 6

Detroit in 5
Pittsburgh in 6

Detroit in 6
Pittsburg in 4

Since one series is complete, a bump is in order.

With Pittsburgh squashing Philly's dreams in 5 games, here's how this round looks right now:

theclansman: 12
TundraMonkey: 12
wildminou: 9
chinook: 9
dollyllama: 9
zadscmc: 9
smarty1052: 9
TomPhoolry: 6
clscott645: 3
Icepigs: 0
Moe: 0

Did ya have to be so brutal about it, icepigs?

*grabs a tissue*

And so ends Round 3.

My beloved Stars fell to the Evil Red Empire in 6 games.

The point total for Round 3 is:

TundraMonkey: 24
wildminou: 21
chinook: 21
TomPhoolry: 18
dollyllama: 18
zadscmc: 18
smarty1052: 18
theclansman: 15
clscott645: 12
Icepigs: 6
Moe: 6


This makes the current overall score look like this:
wildminou: 59
TomPhoolry: 55
theclansman: 50
chinook: 49
clscott645: 48
TundraMonkey: 45
dollyllama: 41
Icepigs: 36
zadscmc: 34
Moe: 28
smarty1052: 18


Now get ready for the Stanley Cup Finals where points are quadrupled!
