Playoff Prediction League

Post by Manimal »

Welcome to TBL's Playoff Prediction League!

We haven't had one of these in the past seasons, mostly because we didn't have an addon to the site for you guys to put your selections in.
This year I am doing a minor version where you simply post who you think will win the play-off series in the NHL and how many games it will take.

You will receive two points if you predict the correct team and the number of games,
and one point for just the correct team.

Voting that comes in after the first game has started won't count and you are not allowed to edit your posts.

Bring on your predictions!

Eastern Conference

(1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders
(2) Montreal Canadiens vs. (7) Ottawa Senators
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) New York Rangers
(4) Boston Bruins vs. (5) Toronto Maple Leafs

Western Conference

(1) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (8) Minnesota Wild
(2) Anaheim Ducks vs. (7) Detroit Red Wings
(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) San Jose Sharks
(4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Los Angeles Kings

You mean after the first game has started right?
