NHL.com Bracket Challenge
 

Kind of last minute but how about we do a little competition? I just set up a private league at http://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/play...gues?locale=en called "S-B.com". You need to sign up, pick your teams and join the league. The password is stripedbass. To make it interesting let's put up two brand new plugs for each entry. Half of the plugs will go to the winner and the other half will go to the 3rd Annual Block Island trip for the troops auction http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ad.php?t=84907.

So, who is in?

In

Good luck! I have already changed my picks three times. The east was easy but I don't feel good about any of my picks out west.

I,m in but I can,t get it to save , so I can,t get past round 1 .................... && I,ve tried a few times & it ends tonight so fu ck it

Clammer i did the same thing, you need to get round one and how many games each series is going to go, that is the numbers on the left. After that go all the way to the cup, pick the winner and then put in how many goals you think will be scored in the final.

This still open? I tried to get in this morning and it just said my bracket was locked in the middle of the teams so I deleted my entry. I've got a bunch of brandy new plugs from the show season. I'll hop in if its still possible.

It should be open until this evening when the games start.

OK, don't know what happened the first time, but I'm all set. I'm in there as Eely McSeaLice becase Mike D was already taken. I'm surprised Eely McSeaLice was available.

I can pop a Mack North Bar bottle darter or a Herring super strike little neck swimmer in the mail for the Trip for the Troops whenever, just let me know who's collecting and I'll send it along.

I'll collect the donation lures for the benefit at a later date and will deliver to the winner when I get out there in June.

I did everything right down to th etie breaker / but it won,t save round one so I can pick the numer of games fro 2 & the finals :smash:

Chicago is going to hurt a lot of you....

You look like you got it done..... we aren't picking number of games beyond first round.

do the L/N,s have to be alive ????:fury:

:rotf2: Took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were saying.

WTf that was english :smash:

I knew i was going to sacrifice that series, i didnt take the habs out hatred for them.

It pained me to pick the Habs over the Lightning, but with the uncertainty of their goaltending coming into the playoffs I had to go with Montreal. Not to get ahead of myself just yet but Montreal could be a test for the B's come round 2. They just have a way about them that upsets their game play.

X2! My thoughts exactly on that pick. The B's looked great last night. Dougie's goal was a thing of beauty. Still a long way to go in this series, but feeling a lot better about it. That Blues/Blackhawks series is going to make or break our little pool. Lets go Blues!

I'm screwed with the Blues out.....

Blues suck..... i am in the same boat

I was rooting for the blues to win and was all bummed that the Hawks took the series until I just double-checked my picks to see I had Chicago all along. :smash:

SJ and Colorado just dont want to win.... there goes my bonus points Fers

Rent-a-Miller's fail was so predictable. Should have seen that coming. If I was Hitchcock, I would have gone with Elliot. He had a great regular season.

SJ's goaltending is in turmoil. They way overworked Niemi during the season, plus, he went to Sochi. Even though he didn't play a single minute, the travel must have affected him, and Finland played a full set of games, so he couldn't leave early. Then, there was the huge celebration they threw for the team in Helsinki the day after the closing ceremonies. I think he started 61 games during the season. Claude was smart to go with Chad for the first two games after the break, and give Tuukka a rest.

Colorado had a great run, but by all rights they should have been eliminated last night. They got gifted game 5 by the horrible officiating at the end. They're a young team, and experience matters in the playoffs. And Roy has made some questionable coaching decisions along the way.

Philly Colorado SJ tonight!

Three seventh games tonight!
 

I need the Flyers, Avalanche and Kings.... It would be great to see the win the West too.... The only thing I know is I'm getting six points tonight for game 7 picks. Beyond that, I need a lot of help

This philly game is horrible. ...... both teams should be in the playoffs

I went 3 for 3 last night. Of course I got all three games WRONG. :smash:

yup , i am going back to doing things i know better.........:smash:

7/8 series correctly. I had originally picked the Wild too, and talked myself out of it.

However, all I care about is correctly predicting the Bruins to win the cup. :buds:

Its all about the B's now for me. My bracket is absolute rubbish. I am glad to be donating a plug to the sexiest auction I've ever seen for a great cause. Someone is scoring the trip of a lifetime.

RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!

lmk WHERE TO SEND PLUGS //:devil2:

It looks like the group is tapped out, I had fun rooting for Milford CT boy Quick tonight. After tonight it's all "Let's Go Rangers!" My first round picks were very lucky, there will be a nice big Fixter pencil in the troops donation. Thanks Toby for starting this!

If it's easiest for you guys you can mail the two plugs to me and I will deliver half to the winner of the 3rd Annual Block Island trip for the troops auction later this month and the other half to Dave as it looks like he is the winner. I'll send everyone my address through PM.

Nice work Dave, What kind of plugs do you like to fish? My new plugs that I had when i signed up are now salty. I'll swing bye my local shop and grab a few this week.

Someone let me know where to send the plug. I have the address for the auction winner (kris), but not the contest winner
