NHL Playoff Bracket
 
I'd like to start one for the forum here, but I don't know of any good host sites. Anyone know a good host site for a playoff bracket pool?

maybe officepools?

Would be nice to get something started.

I played the timmies hockey pool this year, got a few weeks of coffee and enough points for a meal or two which is nice.

Would love one too.

Not sure I like the "bracket" system though. Previous Sportsnet playoff pools didn't do anything for me.

We used to have playoff pools picking actual players. So, if you guess right as to who will move on...your odds of winning are better. Also more challenging.

Trochu...any ideas how we could get one of them "locally" going here? Kinda like the poker nights that used to be played here? Using the player "snake system"?...:)

i always use https://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/en/home this site for my brackets. it works well and lets me make the league private so i can invite only friends

Trochu 04-19-2024 09:44 AM

Well, I'd rather do the pick players for the first round, second round, then 3rd and 4th round, but I haven't found one like that yet and I'm running out of time.

ESPN has a simple bracket pool, which I figure is better than nothing.

Password is "dangle" if you'd care to join.

If you guys want to throw $5 buck in or something, I can coordinate that as well.

Just joined and thx for setting this up.

Thanx Trochu!

I'm in and will go along any side bets the majority feel is adequate. Just supply your addy for etransfer if we do it.

So the trashing starts...Go Carolina!...:)

Spidey 04-19-2024 06:15 PM

Thanks Trochu! I'm good with a side bet if others are game. I've still got my first place $66 regular season winnings from last year burning a hole in my pocket :)

Thanks, joined now see what happens.

Tip for the ones that signed up.

You can put your AO "name" so all know who you are.

Go to "Dashboard". You will see your espn fan number. Hit the "sun" like logo on the right of it. Delete the entry name, put your name, and save.

Voila...and good luck to all...:)

Trochu 04-21-2024 08:22 AM

Good advice Phil, thanks.

Ouch Cat, you had Tampa in the finals and they're out 1st round. That's tough to recover from.

Hope I'm not in a similar boat with Dallas, 5 for 5 so far though!

Hope we get to adjust our picks for further rounds or I am like the Flames....golfing:scared:

Way to go Moose and Critter Commander, a perfect 8 for 8!
