TetRefine Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 What are the ground rules for us newbies? Just submit your picks for each series and each round by Sunday. Matt are you trying to usurp my throne as reigning NHL champ Should I defend my title I was back to back champ in 2010-2011, so I'm going for regaining my throne. Link to comment
Ashi Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have no idea how this works, but I'll pick San Jose Sharks anyways... (not really a sport person). I like San Jose, and my ex is a rabid Sharks fan, so I have no other choice other than GO SHARKS! *makes awkward hand gesture* Los Angles Kings. Pfff.... How could you pick them over Sharks?!? I thought you had my respect. Link to comment

I thought you had my respect. San Jose tends to have really good regular season runs, and suddenly come playoff time they become huge choke-artists. 2 Link to comment
Krista Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'll have a talk with Steven (Wildone) and then I can make my picks err... Link to comment
Thorn Wilde Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'll have a look see which teams have the most Finns in them and bet accordingly. Link to comment

TetRefine Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'll have a look see which teams have the most Finns in them and bet accordingly. Tuukka Rask, the goalie for Boston, is a Finn. Link to comment

Ashi Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Eastern Conference Quarterfinal Winners Boston, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Philadelphia Western Conference Quarterfinal Winners Anaheim, Colorado, San Jose, St. Louis Eastern Conference Semifinal Winners Boston, Montreal Western Conference Semifinal Winners San Jose, Anaheim Stanley Cup Boston, San Jose Stanley Cup Champions San Jose Knowing we've never won Stanley Cup (even a non-sportsman like me would know if we won, as the downtown probably would roar and flip. San Francisco was so cheery when Giants won World Series), the chance is small (but there), but hey..., if we won, I'd buy you a drink. Sharks are pretty high ranking in NHL (higher rank than LA Kings, though we've lost to them before..., though I dare you to come and say good things about LA Kings in Shark Territory. ). I'll have a look see which teams have the most Finns in them and bet accordingly. Our team's goalie is a Finn: Antti Niemi from Vantaa Finland. Come Thorn, join San Jose in the sunny California and ditch the dark side that is Boston. Though I like our old logo better, but here: GO SHARKS! EDIT: Can't believe I was actually checking scores. But it seems Detroit destroyed you guys yesterday. Man, your pee wee is mine this year. Edited April 20, 2014 by Ashi Link to comment

I wanted to go B's, but everyone is picking it, so I want to beat expectations by going against the grain Well, I have to change it up and I want to see some upsets this year. If I am right, half the pool will be dead by the end of the 1st round Edited April 20, 2014 by W_L Link to comment
