NEW NHL Confidence Pool!!: Here is the completed table now showing results. All picks were taken from original home page in other thread. If you see any errors, please let me know. (I know the date of the most recent game entered is wrong, but after redo-ing all the picks and entering all the games complete, I wasn't going to refer back to actual dates of games)
Picks were taken from this chart.

By the way, it is 2 points for a win, so for ex: If you pick San Jose as 16, and they win a game, you will show 32 points. Why I did it that way, I have know idea, probably just overlooked the default setting.

And owlhouse, with that Montreal pick, I mean, are you on the other side of the world or something?
I have a soft spot for the Habs.
Apparently a very soft one, located in the middle of my head.

Yeah, bill, I placed my eggs in the San Jose basket again this year. Probably do it again next year, too.

Glad to see the MeatSaber curse is still in full effect. Bad news for Devils fans out there...

Curse? Ha! I laugh in the face of your curse.
/50 points behind and still counting.

Didn't necessarily mean my standings (though they are usually adversely affected by the curse), just that whenever I pick a team to win, they usually go out early...especially when I'm just with that choice over the course of the playoffs...

Thanks, BoKnows.
I have absolutely no allegiances in these playoffs, so here's hoping for something young and exciting in the inevitable Chicago-Washington final.

Wait - Washington has a hockey team?
Now you tell me.

Yes, the Snow Bunnies. They play out of Kennewick, WA.

I took a screenshot of the standings cuz I doubt they are going to last.
Go Snow Bunnies!

I am going to be out of touch for the next couple of weeks. But you can forward my Costanza anytime you like.

So what are some thoughts on the NHL's Intent to Blow rule? That cost the Wings pretty bad two nights ago.

YYM, you mean, like the "too many men on the ice" penalty that gave the Red Wings game 4 against CBJ? Wow - that grape was so sour, even I couldn't swallow it, sorry ... I can understand the intent of the rule - can you imagine if a batter in baseball got awarded a walk because the ump had to sneeze when he tried to call strike 3 after a full count? But in practice, it does seem pretty shady. Like the "no high-fiving" going on in another discussion in here - it seems like an awkwardly-written rule. But, since it went against the Wings ... that's a freakin' awesome rule ...

Man, I'm about to burst! Gotta wait for that fourth win though. If it comes.

Kinda like littleDude, I'm not heartbroken that the call went against the Wings, but, damn, that was brutal. I understand the "intent to blow" rule, it does make sense; it's just that the intent to blow was formed pretty damn quickly, wasn't it?
posted by tahoemoj at 06:09 PM on May 09, 2009
I'm just now calm enough to talk about the "non-goal" call by the "referee" in game 3 of the Wings/Ducks. I saw that puck from my living room, how could a guy that gets paid to make those calls not? Add that to the "interference" call on Stuart that same game, and that guy shouldn't be allowed to call for pizza from now on. Just glad the Wings can still win games despite the officials...

The Cardiac Canes strike again!

Urf. Canuckleheads. Damn Bruins. etc.
Very impressive playoff team, those Canes: on paper they shouldn't be doing what they do, but they keep doing it.

Hurricanes = the AntiSharks.
Mediocre regular season followed by gritty, never say die attitude in the playoffs. You paying attention, Doug Wilson/Todd McClellan?
