Post the standings from last year if you have them. I was near the top heading into the finals but didn't keep think to keep track of the pool after the Cup win. -

Yes, we go round by round so we can pick against the new matchups as they happen. It gives people a chance to jump in Round 2 if they're late. I'll chart everyone's picks before each round so we can see predictions, then score points when each round concludes as we gather picks for the next round. Results from the Finals last year, with the total playoff points on the right:

Gotta go for some upsets in the 1st round. If Florida loses and Washington wins flip flop could get interesting. Crowles and BadHab got help from bookies I just know it.

So when Red and Eric picked BOS in 4 against the Canucks, I took notice. Mad props there.
For those who stuck with it for 4 rounds, it was actually a pretty tight game until the very end. -

Jay, there are numerous free playoff pools that we can play in Canada. CBC, Sportsnet, The Score, and TSN all have free pools. CBC and TSN are each giving away a car. -

Nothing is ever free Dez. Rogers will data mine my info and CBC will spam me ad nauseum. The car is probably a Chevrolet anyway. -

I actually won a Sharp Aquos from the Score 2 seasons ago so I've been more of a believer in the free pools since then. It's the only thing I've ever really won. -

Nice job! You are a better man than I. I have won nothing of consequence, ever. I don't even buy lottery tickets anymore. The last thing I won was a Tonka truck at a raffle at a state fair when I was 10. I will not tell you how many years ago that was. One hint, it was 5 presidents and 4 Prime Ministers ago. -
