Yes the format is more challenging.

Just wish they would go back to the time when you could pick the individual goalie too.....now that was challenging trying to figure out who the starters were.

I guess enough of us poolies sent emails in requesting the change

Its been a few years but I am back in the AO Playoff Pool!!

My user name in the pool is mighty-peace

Its going to be a great Playoff season !!!

I want to see the Canadian teams do good, especially Edmonton.

We need a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup !!!

Now the time starts coming into work possibly a bit tired somedays due to late evening playoff games going into OT.

Not a fan of how they make you keep your same picks for the next two rounds but make you pick players from all four teams.

Thumbs up Last round

Well the top two are pretty much down to their goalie/team picks as they both starred them....

After third round.

1. 3Rigged 578 points
2. lululevelem 577 points
3. tootallpaul76 535 points

I guess the rest will sit and watch with me

My goal after a crappy showing in the the regular pool was to have a good play off run but fell short the first two rounds like in 18 place but managed to squeak into 6th place overall.

On the couch I know everything but then when I place my picks I get a humble awakening
