Round 2 Standings:

Post your picks for Round 3 here please! Make sure they are in before Thursday (5-10) at 7:00 ET.

West:

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (2) Anaheim Ducks

East:

(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (4) Ottawa Senators

NOTICE: If you are going to copy and paste your picks please copy the following example and use it as a guide:

DET/ANA - *Winner Team Name & Series score*

BUF/OTT - *Winner Team Name & Series score*

For those of your that don't remember the rules, I have posted them below:

Each round you will pick a winner for each series. For every correct series winner you predict, you will receive 5 points (0 if you pick the incorrect team). Also to aid with tiebreakers you will also pick how many games the losing team in each series will win. Given that the team you picked to win actually does win the series, you will then have the opportunity to receive up to 3 bonus points. For every game you are off for the losing teams actual win total, I will subtract 1 bonus point. After each round, every player will then pick again based on the teams the made through to the next round. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season, wins Playoff bragging rights.

If any of your are confused, I'll do a mock picks example:

NFM#25's Mock Picks

Detroit 4-2 over Calgary

Anaheim 4-3 over Minnesota

Vancouver 4-3 over Dallas

San Jose 4-2 over Nashville

Buffalo 4-1 over NYI

New Jersey 4-1 over Tampa Bay

Atlanta 4-3 over NYR

Ottawa 4-3 over Pittsburgh

Let's say this happened in the first round:

Detroit won 4-3 over Calgary

Minnesota won 4-3 over Anaheim

Vancouver won 4-3 over Dallas

San Jose won 4-3 over Nashville

Buffalo won 4-0 over NYI

NJ won 4-1 over Tampa Bay

NYR won 4-3 over Atlanta

Ottawa won 4-0 over Pittsburgh

Here's how my point total would work out:

DET/CAL = 5 Points + 2 Bonus Points

ANA/MIN = 0 Points

VAN/DAL = 5 Points + 3 Bonus Points

SJ/NSH = 5 Points + 2 Bonus Points

BUF/NYI = 5 Points + 2 Bonus Points

NJ/TB = 5 Points + 3 Bonus Points

NYR/ATL = 0 Points

OTT/PIT = 5 Points + 0 Bonus Points

Total first round score: 42

People might think im crazzay for my WCF amount of games it goes to, but I've had a really weird *GOOD* feeling all year long IF the Wings were the play the Ducks..and well it's happening. Oh, and I'm also predicting Bert to be the MVP of this series.

Wings over Ducks in 5

Sabres over Sens in 7

Sidenote: I'm not going to accept any entries from new contestants. With the point structure, there is no way someone entering now can catch up to first place.

Sorry to all those this effects, but I already allowed about 15 entries last round, and looking back on it, it doesn't make much sense.

Revenge of the NFM #25,only a point separates him & Aussie_Wing?!

:yowza:

:sly:

He's ass is mine!

Okay, I picked against the Wings for both rounds thus far. I'm scared to pick in their favor now. :lol:

But then I remember that what I type on a message board has no bearing to what happens on the ice. :P

Detroit vs. Anaheim - DETROIT IN 5

Buffalo vs. Ottawa - BUFFALO IN 5

Ballsy, I know.

To hell with that edicius, you gotta pick the Ducks!

No ill-will meant, but you are out of contention anyway, you might as well continue to take one for the team! C'mon Ed, we need you!

You know, you're actually right... :P

And since my gut pick was initially Ducks in 5...well, there shall be the edit above. :lol:
