    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 :(:(:(
    If you want to play would love to have you bro, the more the merrier. 5-cigar entry fee is all it'll cost you, due to the winning bracket when the playlets are over. And I hear you bro, CBJ fan here, 500+ man games lost to injury and finished the season with a 12-0-1 run...and almost all of our players have another yr or more on their contracts so theyll be back unless we do some trade Deals, needless to say I'm sad our seasons over but am hopefully optimistic and cannot wait for next year.

    * I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *

    Some exciting first round action last night.
    Didn't catch all the games but caught a good portion of the caps/isles (wtf caps) and hawks/preds (nice comeback hawks, darling played well).


    I also looked over the brackets this morning and it looks like almost everything is in order....but there appear to be a couple issues:

    DZR -- did you ever fill out a bracket?
    If not, and you're not playing, LMK and I will take you off the list of participants so you don't "owe" anything when this is over.

    PUFF DOUGIE -- it looks like your bracket did not save, sorry. Please double check and LMK.
    If that's the case LMK if you still want to be "in it" and owe cigars to the winner....if not I completely understand and will take you off the participant list.

    AVENGETHIS -- Is your bracket named "toast to HOCKEY"?

    Dang. Not sure why it didn't save. Guess I'll sit this one out.

    senators have only lost by 1 goal in each game.....
    i for one would love to see them start their comeback tonight.

    think they can get the W? or is today their last game?

    It saved this time around, so that's good.

    Some potential series-deciding games tonight, it doesn't show any standings until the first series are over.....so might have an update tomorrow.

    I think my bracket is toast already (what i get for only paying attention to Dallas) lol

    Good series JETS: I have a feeling we'll be seeing you in the playoffs again next year.

    All but 2 folks picked the Ducks to win that match up....
    & 3 of you (Shizza, Brad, Gumby) picked the correct # of games so you 3 are tied for first.

    CHI and CGY are both up 3-1 and could end their series tonight.

    That series really pissed me off, so painful to watch Winnipeg blow leads and loose. Oh well at least St. Louis and New York showed up to play last night.

    No change in the standings after last night....
    Perds & Canucks got the W to force game 6.

    Rangers & Habs could both advance tonight with Wins.

    Think Hitchcock will be around next season????

    Always thought he was a decent coach and liked him when he was here in Columbus....but has lost in the 1st or 2nd round with the Blues for the last 4 seasons....STL wants more and I get a feeling he might be on the chopping block.




    CAPS/ISLES wrap up tonight -- 730 EST on NBCSN

    And DET can end their series tonight with a win over TBL -- 700 EST CNBC

    He will be fired for Sure, two years in a row is inexcusable. Looking forward to the Caps finally taking out the Islanders tonight.

    That was a great game to watch, good goaltending as well. And I always wanted to say this to a real Charlie; Sorry Charlie.
