Post by: Drew on April 07, 2008, 06:35:05 PM: My prediction: Mike and I slaughter you all while you are distracted by beach, sun, and unlimited booze.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 08, 2008, 02:26:21 AM: Muhahaha! A plan has come together Andrew. Little did they this was the plan all along; months have planning have culminated in to today!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 08, 2008, 03:08:30 AM: First the hockey pool, then the world!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 09, 2008, 05:20:00 AM: I finally made my picks and I must say that they are incredibly uninspired.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 09, 2008, 04:19:53 PM: I think mine are pretty good. I'm excited for the pool. Steve thinking I'm just lucky... pff. He'll see...
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on April 09, 2008, 05:06:36 PM: I have 10 minutes to make them before my internet expires. HERE WE GO!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 09, 2008, 05:07:17 PM: Awesome, I knew Bob would pull through.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on April 09, 2008, 05:14:16 PM: I am rushed. dont hate me for my picks. DETRIOT FOR LIFE.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 09, 2008, 05:22:31 PM: I will hate whoever I want.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 09, 2008, 10:21:00 PM: Detroit Bob. I haven't checked your line up, but i'll be disapointed.. Very disapointed.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 12, 2008, 05:29:43 PM: Fifth to second in one night. Biggest comeback ever.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 13, 2008, 03:17:26 AM: I think Ray Whitney is about to start racking up mad points for Shad any day now.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 13, 2008, 06:39:57 AM: Good'ole Whitney. He's due for a double hat trick.... Followed by 20 penatly minutes, 43 hits, 16 saves, and the game winner. That's why I picked him up.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 14, 2008, 09:45:40 PM: Watching Kipper get pulled last night made me chuckle a bit knowing how bad it would screw over Shad. Even better when we won the game too. Too bad Whitney didn't have a stellar night to balance out Kipper's negative.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 15, 2008, 05:20:42 PM: Whitney will come around Andrew. Shad don't worry, I think if you just hold on to him for a little while longer it will really work out. I frankly don't see how it couldn't. He's going all the way this year.. Whitney = The Cup...
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on April 16, 2008, 05:44:17 AM: Another valient effort by Whitney, he did log alot of ice team, what a gladiator.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Skywalker on April 17, 2008, 12:18:50 AM: I hate you all!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 17, 2008, 09:18:46 PM: Shad, I am stunned at your outburst?! Surely we are not responsible for Mr. Whitney's less than impressive performance... surely you cannot play your loyal friends!?
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Skywalker on April 19, 2008, 06:11:43 AM: Whitney is a superstar... nothing less!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 22, 2008, 01:41:20 AM: Boo Carey Price!!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 22, 2008, 01:54:53 AM: YAY Mike! I had a pretty good night. I made some not-so-shabby trades... booya! maybe 400+ tonight. Mind you some of you share the players I have......
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 22, 2008, 02:02:48 AM: Yeah, good thing the top three of us all have Ovechkin. Copiers.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on April 22, 2008, 04:45:30 AM: Nice work Montreal woowooo
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 22, 2008, 04:14:23 PM: Oh Mike you cheeky monkey, making trades like that.

At least there is the chance I will get some small measure of joy if both Calgary and Washington get eliminated (even if that is the last thing that I want).
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 22, 2008, 04:37:43 PM: Ya true enough, I could totally bone myself, but i'm betting their won't be two shutout's tonight. There's going to be just one... Go Kipper. Most of us are in the same boat. I don't know if anyone has more than a couple of guys playing tonight. I think Calgary and Washington are both going to pull it out.. Viva le underdog!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 22, 2008, 05:42:44 PM: I was actually referencing your dubious decision to leave yourself with two trades and three players that could be eliminated. Although I do not anticipate that will actually transpire.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 22, 2008, 09:34:25 PM: Get the points now, worry about trades later... this is totally going to back fire on me now...
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 23, 2008, 02:02:12 PM: Mike I assure you that it brings me little joy to say: I told you so.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 23, 2008, 11:49:08 PM: Ass, it's because you weren't there to cheer us on. I blame you. Ass.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 24, 2008, 12:06:01 AM: The "ass" bookends on that sentence really drive my assness home...that didn't sound right.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on April 24, 2008, 07:25:29 PM: We forgot to take on the monkey this year.

I pick: Montreal over Philly
New York over Pits
Detroit over Colorado (Although I would love it the other way)
Dallas over San Jose

Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on April 26, 2008, 10:16:23 PM: my detroit montreal team will takeover the world
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on April 27, 2008, 06:26:06 PM: Sellout
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on April 27, 2008, 10:08:39 PM: how is that selloutish ??I think your just scared
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on April 30, 2008, 03:24:01 AM: Jesus, we could have three games at 3-0 before the night is over.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 01, 2008, 03:33:39 PM: it has begun
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 04, 2008, 06:12:21 PM: It continues and will continue to continue
It feels good at the top ! though Montreal lost wich is a bummer they racked me up a tidy sum of points
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 04, 2008, 06:13:22 PM: heard I missed a pretty good night to how are the hangovers ?
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 05, 2008, 01:34:28 PM: Oh Cole I fear your reign at the top may be ending. 3 players to go, 2 trades.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on May 05, 2008, 08:33:28 PM: I'm boned in the pool.. I screwed myself over. I'll have at least 1 useless player as of next weeks trades. DAMN'T!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 06, 2008, 12:05:07 AM: PS - all my picks were right! Too bad I can't pick players that well. Maggie's picks aren't up yet for round 3.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 06, 2008, 09:48:29 PM: its alright I am I thought that only fair without one player for a week gives you guys a chance
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 08, 2008, 04:22:41 AM: alright Bitches it's on now got my team ready for this round plus Montrealer just to give you guys a chance
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 08, 2008, 10:18:21 PM: Maggie picked Pit and Det, me too.

Time for me to run away with this pool. See you all at the finish line!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 09, 2008, 05:57:36 AM: I'm going for Detroit to win it all and me of course to take the pool
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 09, 2008, 12:23:34 PM: oh yeah
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 09, 2008, 01:35:34 PM: Bad luck for Bob. And Steve...interesting strategy...
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on May 09, 2008, 05:01:57 PM: I tried to get some players last night, but Detroit and Dallas were all frozen by 4. What the hell. I'm writing a letter... bastards
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 10, 2008, 10:07:35 PM: oh yeah
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on May 12, 2008, 04:35:31 AM: I am going to feel so good when I win the pool without selling out to Detriot.

Sell outs.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 12, 2008, 02:08:58 PM: It is impossible. The only way to win is with all Detroit. Seriously.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on May 13, 2008, 12:12:51 AM: I hope Detroit loses 27 to 0 tonight.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 13, 2008, 03:19:28 AM: Thanks for the kudos Drew, it seems to have paid off tonight at least, but goalie wins are worth lots, GO MCLENNAN!!!!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 13, 2008, 03:14:26 PM: I cry for your team Steve. They will not save you.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 14, 2008, 04:23:05 AM: wow steve nice comeback
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 14, 2008, 05:07:36 AM: It gets only tighter tonight as Bob had all the best players on the ice.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 14, 2008, 12:23:55 PM: oh yeah back on top
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 14, 2008, 05:45:37 PM: Barely. Look out for the Stars tonight.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on May 14, 2008, 05:46:38 PM: FAWK!
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on May 15, 2008, 12:06:59 AM: Go Stars Go
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 15, 2008, 02:08:49 PM: Yes indeed.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 16, 2008, 06:18:36 PM: 101 point lead. You should all really just quit now.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on May 17, 2008, 01:03:04 AM: Oh I think you are the one in trouble.

Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 21, 2008, 12:31:15 AM: This is gonna be one helluva final, huge offensive threats on both teams, and secondary scoring that would be primary scoring on any other team.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 22, 2008, 03:07:42 PM: I agree, starting with a lead going in will be extremely beneficial given the amount of overlap that is likely going to occur.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 22, 2008, 07:35:18 PM: yeah, only so many players worth buying, and others with 6 minutes a game ice time like Laraque, hopefully get majors and game misconducts in penalties.

And how bull-shitty have the refs been, the NHL's gotta get a referee challenge thing like the NFL.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on May 22, 2008, 10:57:42 PM: I am hoping for a comeback now that all my players are playing at least
and my nose hurts my pretty face isn't so pretty at the moment
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on May 23, 2008, 12:10:32 AM: random...but i'll take the comment in a hockey playoff pool.....hahaha, you guys were suited up and fucked up last night.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool

I'd rather be lucky than good any day.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on May 27, 2008, 03:31:03 PM: Stanley Cup Snoozefest. Pens better step up and make this a series.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on June 03, 2008, 04:24:13 PM: Give me my crown.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on June 05, 2008, 05:54:49 PM: Well good season folks. Congrats to the winners. Time to start planning and researching for next year.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Bob on June 06, 2008, 11:55:23 PM: We dun good boys. Until next time.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Drew on June 07, 2008, 03:18:45 PM: Damn sportingnews doesn't have a cfl pool. Hah, not that I really wanted to, but better than nothing.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Mikal on June 07, 2008, 04:29:25 PM: Those bastards. I would have participated in a CFL pool. I miss checking my players stats... sigh.
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Aquabat on June 09, 2008, 05:07:49 PM: no world cup one either, i guess only real sports...
Title: Hockey Playoff Pool
Post by: Colezy on June 10, 2008, 02:41:09 AM: sometimes I still check it .. . . but it never changes
