BUMP.

Also if it's cool with y'all my wife wants to get in on this as well (she's a huge HOCKEY fan)....

She's not on the good traders list but I'll vouch for her LOL.....

And don't worry, I already told her it's a 5-cigar entry fee, and she said "that's fine, I planned on just getting them from your humidor."

SMH, woman

So just to make sure I am not missing anything here. There is nothing to fill out yet correct? I know nothing about hockey so I will definitely be in on this.

Correct

the brackets will go live this Sunday ... (As playoff teams/positions won't be determined until the regular season games end on sat)

You will have about a week to fill out your bracket, before playoff games start.
I will post the official info/schedule to this thread when I see it

So does this mean you're in? If so I'll add you to the list on first post

Edna20

Sure, I'll pay... I mean play.

jgibv

Alright, I have a couple more "participants" listed in the OP (15 total) --- than I'm seeing on the NHL site (11) ....

So if you haven't signed up on NHL.com yet, get on it!!!

But if I saw you post in this thread and added you to the list of "participants" but you didn't actually want to play LMK and I'll take you off the list.



ALSO --- after you select each "pick", make sure you pick the "# of games" that it will take to complete that series in the dropdown.

I can jump in if needed, even though I'm suffering a pretty GIGANTIC amount of butthurt cuz my beloved team the Stars failed to make the cut
