That's awesome! He'd love that! If it has anything to do with hockey or NHL, he'll talk your ear off - but you'll come out wiser from it! How someone knows so much about hockey from listening to games and sports talk shows without having seen a screen for over 18 years is beyond me.

He told me if I win the Dodge Ram we have to share it

Hopefully spidey forgot and now we get a chance to de throne him


Look at Vegas....they can play tight defensively and if you want to run and gun, get stupid they will light you up....very dangerous team.

I am in awe of Vegas - what they did last night was scary impressive. I've hesitated to include many of their players in my pool picks during regular season and early this post season simply because the points are spread so evenly among so many good players, that there are no real standouts to get the "big totals" like a Crosby or Guentzel. But after last nights game, I may have to grab a couple of them!

So..... this is the last round of picks for the final two rounds. Now, does one go all in with an east and a west team, or play it safe and spread it out?

I'm thinking all in - Guts....Glory...Ram!! Who's with me?

All or nothing for this last round. Went with my heart not necessarily with the stats.

Hoping for a Winnipeg/Washington final.

Some rough stats:

-About half committed to two teams, the rest spread it out;
-Only one GM committed to Vegas; and,
-Of those that committed, about 2/3 went with Winnipeg and Washington while the rest, with the exception of the above, went with Winnipeg and Tampa.

I just can't figure the players out
The last two games were a real surprise to me....hopefully that's not the norm

Yesterday was my best outing this season. Hopefully it continues and Tampa picks it up.

Congrats to shaunusher for winning the Playoff Fantasy Challenge! He was one of the only members to spread his picks over the 4 remaining teams and that was a strategy that most definitely paid off. Well done, sir!

NHL training camp starts in 3 months....

Default What a season eh!

Just got back from the coast, watched the playoffs and of course the pool which was awesome to see "us" couch coaches attempt to predict who is gonna go the distance and then make our changes accordingly....thanks to all who played, as spidey said only a few short months and then we get into it again!
