Is it too late to submit my first round picks?
I'm going with the following:
East
Washington
New Jersey
N.Y. Rangers
Philadelphia
West
Vancouver
Phoenix
Nashville
Los Angeles
I know some people will question the Canucks pick, but I still think they have a chance.
And for the second round, I'm going with:
East
New Jersey
N.Y. Rangers
West
Vancouver
Los Angeles
This gives me a record of 7-1 in the first round, and 3-1 in the second round.
For the third round (and if you don't mind), I will be submitting my picks later on. It's really too early in these series to get a feel for things, but I'm starting to believe the Canucks won't make it through to the finals. |

Got it, you're in.
As with the guest though . . . you automatically lose any tie break.

Same goes with you Clatts - you automatically lose all tie-breakers due to the late entry, but you're in.
So how that works will be thus, for the late entry guys:
1) your goal totals are thrown out
2) your series prediction is not counted either, you will automatically get 0 points fr this round
If you still make it to the final and then put in a timely entry, you are good to go for all tie-breakers.

Wow, 7-1 is pretty good considering you didn't even pick between the Blues and Sharks!
Keep the faith, the Canucks must still have a shot! If you ever begin to lose faith, look up Pasty's "Canucks got cheated" post for reassurance, and some good laughs.  |

How did you have Vancouver and LA meeting in the 2nd round?

Kings win 5 games, looking like the favourites all the way.
UPDATED STANDINGS
slozo - 1/1, 10 (-4)
foolpittier - 1/1, 8 (-3)
open ice - 1/1, 7 (-4)
mandree888 - 1/1, 6 (n/a)
Alex116 - 1/1, 5 (-2)
Clatts - 1/1, 0 (n/a)
Guest 9173 - 0/1, 2 (n/a)
First it goes by correct picks; then the total points accrued from correct series lengths; then the last tie-breaker is for total goals difference.

Slozo.....may or may not be around this week, going on a little work excursion? Will pick the following and if it's not enough, i'll try to add to it to satisfy whatever it is you end up requesting, if i can get to a computer before Wed?
Devils in 7
Total goals: 22
Conn Smythe: M. Brodeur
Final game score: NJ 2-1
Game / Cup winning goal: Parise
Attendance (entire series): 129,994 (j/k) 
Hopefully i can check in in case there's another tiebreaker? Oh, and i'm assuming i'm in the final as well? |

Yeah, that looks like enough tiebreakers . . . lol. NJ, in 7 games, 22 goals would have been just fine though.
Will update this later this afternoon guys!

Here are the final standings for Round 3. They are in order, with the first number series denoting winning team picks; the second number marked as SL pts (Series Length points), and the number in brackets how many goals off the total goals you were (both series added up, and obviously the lower the number, the better in this case):
foolpittier - 2 for 2, 8 SL pts (12)
Alex116 - 2 for 2, 8 SL pts (14)
Open Ice - 2 for 2, 7 SL pts (15)
------------------------------------------
slozo - 1 for 2, 11 SL pts (6)
mandree888 - 1 for 2, 6 SL pts (N/A)
Clatts - 1 for 2, 3 SL pts (N/A)
Guest 9173 - 1 for 2, 2 SL pts (N/A)
My own darn fault for not clarifying the point of where the cutoff line would be, even though once those late entries came in I had it in my head to make it top 4 out of 7. But, that being the case - myself not making it clear, that is - I am going to make the cut-off at the top three who went 2 for 2, which is sort of the easiest way to decide anyways the way it worked out here. I mean, it just might seem a bit unfair to some if I only include myself as the lone 1 for 2 guy, and like I said, I didn't make it clear, so that is my own fault.
So, foolpittier, Alex116 and Open Ice are in the finals.
As all three of you can see, your tie-breakers are all very, very close . . . so it is likely that they will be used - especially since it's possible two of you might pick the correct winning team.
Good luck guys!

Slozo,
Checking in on a little work break! Want to edit my total goals pick to 26. I will leave my attendance prediction as is though.
Prob won't matter, foolpittier has already selected the Kings and i'm guessing that Open Ice will as well seeing as that seems to be the consensus! |

Well, I wouldn't 100% bet on Open Ice going with the Kings, Alex . . . the reason he and you guys made it to the finals in the first place is because you have gone with some of the unpopular picks (ie NJ over the Rangers last round).
That being said - my personal pick would be Kings in 6, 27 total goals, Dustin Brown gets MVP.

Well I guess I need to get the series length exactly right to have a chance at winning  Here goes nothing:
Prediction: LA Kings, Stanley Cup Champions in 6 games (24 total goals in the series)
(Hmm I could have gone all 'price is right' and said 22 goals but that seems a little mean)
Unless my counting is off all three of us have gotten the same number of series winning teams correct in the playoffs and we are within one tiebreaker point meaning that any of us can still actually win. That is exciting! |

Oh yes, that is totally correct Open Ice - it's as close (or wide open as it were) as can be in the final. Obviously, with 2 votes for the Kings and 1 for the Devils, you'll have to get the right team - and if it's the Kings, you'll have to get the right number of games for the series.
If it's the Kings who win, and it's not in 5 or 6 games that they do it . . . well, then it goes to foolpittier, who has one more Series Length point than you . . . so in this case, the third tie-breaker will not be necessary it seems. BUT - I do really appreciate that you could have shaved a goal off of foolpittier's window, but instead chose what you would have guessed in the first place. That's class, dude.
And obviously, if the Devils win, it's Alex!
Good luck to all three of you . . . looks like it's gonna be a real closely contested series!

| Good luck guys and i didn't understand the "Price is Right" reference till Slozo commented on it. Good job Open Ice, i hope there's 24 goals scored after that classy move! Of course, i hope the Devils win it though. However, the game 1 OT loss hurts. Sure makes game to the proverbial "must win" for the Devils! |

UPDATE:
Foolpittier looks to be in the lead to win this thing. With the Kings in 5 guess, and together with the fact that he would still lead over Open Ice if the Kings swept . . . it looks like it's his to lose, at ts point.
I mean, for Open Ice - he needs 2 New Jersey wins, and that looks so unlikely at the moment. And for Alex . . . yeah, it doesn't look good at all knowing Jersey would have to take 4 out of 5 against a team this hot.

I don't care. This game sucks anyway!
Bugs me more that the way this series is going, it's costing me a shot at winning my pool! I need goals and a long series. Looks like i'm getting neither!  |

Ah, no sweat, the comeback is on! Win tonight and suddenly LA is gripping their sticks pretty tightly back home for game 6, not wanting to make another cross country trip back to the swamp for game 7!
Then again, LA just doesn't seem to lose on the road so with 2 of 3 (if needed) in NJ, it seems to play into the Kings favour! |

Well we have reached game 6 and any of us can still win...
I need the Kings to win the next game and to score enough goals! (hopefully this doesn't come down to an empty netter at the end, that would be intense) |

What a turn around of events indeed. Foolpittier looked to have this one in the bag, and I even made the comment about . . . "2 New Jersey wins looks so unlikely at this point" . . . and well, here we are after 2 New Jersey wins! Really impressive by the Devils - even if they end up losing, it's quite an accomplishment, and a true mark of professionalism I'll say to have battled back like they have.
So, here is the situation for all concerned:
1) If the LA Kings win tonight, Open Ice wins it with his Kings in 6 prediction, as he would then edge out foolpittier on the first tiebreaker - series length prediction points.
2) If New Jersey wins tonight, Open Ice cannot win it, and it's then between Alex and Foolpittier - and then it's quite simple: Kings win. foolpittier wins; Devils win, and Alex wins.
So, Alex and foolpittier are Devils fans for a night, and Open Ice cheers on the Kings.
GAME ON!

I don't think I automatically win if the Kings win tonight. Heading into the finals:
foolpittier - 2 for 2, 8 SL pts
Alex116 - 2 for 2, 8 SL pts
Open Ice - 2 for 2, 7 SL pts
------------------------------------------
Which I think means that I need to get the series length right (Kings in 6) and also win on goal differential... |

Dude, do the math.
You are the only one who picked the Kings in 6 games, Foolpittier picked them in 5, so he can't get the 3 points, or even the one point. If you get the 3 points then, you win on the tiebreaker. If the Kings didn't win tonight, you'd lose on the tie breaker no matter what you said for series goal totals.
Anyways, looks like you won it.

Yes,
And with a showering of boos raining down from the crowd as I waddle out like a lame duck commissioner to hand out the trophy . . .
. . . it is with great pleasure that I hand out this year's PUH PLAYOFF MATCH-UP Game trophy . . . yes, the cybertronic and illusory Stanky Cup . . . to . . .
. . . OPEN ICE !!!!
Congrats my man, you deserved it. You gave 110%, played hard every round, and in the end, had the most talent this year to bring the cup on home (wherever that may be).
[ loud clapping, cheering, commissioner falls on ass while walking away to a loud and rousing chorus of cheers ]
'til next year,

Apologies for taking so long to reply, I had to celebrate my big win
Thanks to everyone who participated and slozo for running the pool. Also my mistake for forgetting how the tiebreaker process worked but did anyone else notice that there were exactly 24 goals in the series??
I will be back next year to defend my title! |
