Terry Frei did pretty good at number five. Thanks for running this.

Howard_T and holden were the only two to give 16 points to the Wings and 15 points to the Penguins.

Way to go, Hater, you made some really good picks in Dallas and Philadelphia. Both somewhat over-achieved in the playoffs. In my case, second place isn't bad for someone who really hadn't followed the day-to-day play in the league, so I'm happy with it. Many thanks to you, YYM, for putting it together.

ehhh. At least I picked the winner.

Owlhouse was doomed by giving only two points to the Red Wings.

There is justice in the world, and sometimes knowledge is rewarded. Bugger.

Thanks YYM, no repeat here, but I don't think anyone expected it anyway.

Wow, I can't believe the Red Wings lost more games in the playoffs than the Ottawa Senators. Looks like the wrong team won the cup. Howard_T and holden were the only two to give 16 points to the Wings and 15 points to the Penguins. Actually, Howard_T and I both gave 14 points to the Penguins. I hedged on a Western Conference champion and gave the Sharks my 15 pointer. Whoops.

I knew I should never trust a Frenchman (No offense intended, unless you are a member of les rouge, blanc, et bleu). As a Bruins fan living in an area where there are more French-Canadian surnames in the 'phone book than any other ethnic group, it is one more reason to detest Canadiens.

Thanks again YYM. I feel honored to have beaten some of the great hockey minds that frequent this site.

The final standings can be found here. Congratulations to Hater 187 who is this year's champion, an impressive feat considering he is also the Costanza winner in the Pick Em. Congratulations also go to Owlhouse who won the Costanza by a considerable margin.
