Official 2008 Playoff Picks Game

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Welcome to year 2 of the Playoff Picks Game. Mods, if you deem this as worthy, I would really appreciate you pinning this thread.

Here's how it'll work:

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 that 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

(1) Detroit 4-1 over (8) Nashville

(2) San Jose 4-3 over (7)Calgary

(6) Colorado 4-3 over (3) Minnesota

(4) Anaheim 4-2 over (5) Dallas

(1) Montreal 4-1 over (8) Boston

(2) Pittsburgh 4-3 over (7) Ottawa

(3) Washington 4-2 over (6) Philadelphia

(4) New Jersey 4-3 over (5) New York Rangers

Let's say this happened in the first round:

(1) Detroit won 4-2 over (8) Nashville

(2) San Jose won 4-1 over (7)Calgary

(3) Minnesota won 4-3 over (6) Colorado

(4) Anaheim won 4-2 over (5) Dallas

(1) Montreal won 4-3 over (8) Boston

(2) Pittsburgh won 4-0 over (7) Ottawa

(3) Washington won 4-2 over (6) Philadelphia

(5) New York Rangers won 4-3 over (4) New Jersey

Here's how my point total would work out:

DET/NSH = 5 Points + 2 Bonus Points

SJ/CAL = 5 Points + 1 Bonus Point

MIN/COL = 0 Points

ANA/DAL = 5 Points + 3 Bonus Points

MTL/BOS = 5 Points + 1 Bonus Points

PIT/OTT = 5 Points + 0 Bonus Points

WSH/PHI = 5 Points + 3 Bonus Points

NYR/NJ = 0 Points

Total first round score: 40

Feel free to post any questions, and remember that your picks must be in *before* the first puck drops Wednesday at 7:00 ET.

Best of luck to everyone, and I'll post my picks shortly.

Here are the Matchups based on their respective ranks
