Playoff Prediction League 2008

Post by **archibalduk** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 11:53 am

Fresh from the regular season prediction league, the Playoffs prediction league has now started!

The scoring system is:
* 3pts for correctly predicting the score and winner of the series
* 1pt for just correctly predicting who will win the series

Please note: Rather than predicting the game scores, you will have to predict outcome of the series. In other words, you have to predict how many games each team will win. For example, in the Montreal v Boston series, you would predict how many games Montreal will win and how many Boston will win. So obviously for each series you must predict one team as winning four!

Mine too...

But I have never been any good at predicting things....

I'm in, but the only thing I care about is that Shadd and his Flames do not win anything.

Heh, i'm the defending champ for the playoff predictions

Keep in mind that the first round is the key, with 8 predictions to make out of the 15 battles (8 in the first round + 4 in the second round + 2 in the conference finals + 1 for the Finals)

That is why I care! and to the rest..bla bla bla

With only three more games to be decided in the first round, Joe Helmer has taken an early lead, having correctly predicted the outcome of four games. The first round is the most important (as it involves the most games) and so an early lead is vital for winning overall.

Yey, I'm the best!

As always!

Don't count your chickens too soon!

I was thinking about to add "in the beginning" as I was in the lead in the regular season prediction and then ended in like 10th or something...

The Conference semi-finals are ready for prediction. You have until Saturday 26 April 7pm (UK Time) (2pm EST) to make your predictions.

Joe failed to correctly predict the remaining games of the quarters and so has shot down to 10th place. Inspector84, Devils88 and Rottamies have shot to the top. With seven games left to predict, anyone can still win it.

Is there is anyone that can share your feelings more than I?

I'm rooting for you to win this one, Crocker! I feel bad for sneaking past you at the end of the regular season prediction league

Second Round picks are in.

Post by **archibalduk** » Mon May 05, 2008 10:18 am

The two conference finals can now be predicted. You have until 10 May to predict. There's still nine points left to play for so technically anyone in the top 12 can still win it.

Rottamies is leading the way with a four point lead at the moment.

Wov, i guess i still have enough time to completely choke on the final round.

Post by **archibalduk** » Sat May 24, 2008 5:49 pm

Sorry I completely forgot to add the next game to the Prediction League.

It's up now and so you have until the start of game 2 to make your predictions for the final. The deadline is Tuesday 27th 1am (UK time) / Monday 26th 8pm (Eastern US time).

The first place in the prediction league is being fought over by Rottamies and Calv. Anyone currently in the top seven could still come third, and anyone in the top ten can still come fourth. It all comes down to this final series!

come on pens

Post by **archibalduk** » Sun May 25, 2008 11:28 am

Aye come on Pens! Not a good start for them, though. Still, I've got it going down to the wire: 4-3 to the Pens.

rottamies · Post by **rottamies** » Sun May 25, 2008 1:50 pm

I put down 4-2 for the wings on the finals. I guess it all comes down to this, i'm putting my hopes on Pavel and the boys.

This is going to be real exciting, good luck to all you guys (even Calv

).

CrockerNHL · Post by **CrockerNHL** » Wed May 28, 2008 3:41 pm

So am I. My bet was a brutal 4-1 for the Red Wings. Good luck to all!!!

Post by **Shadd666** » Thu May 29, 2008 12:50 am

I totally forgot to put my predictions for the Finals

Anyhow, i still can't decide between 4-0 and 4-1 for the Red Wings.

Nevermind, i lost my playoffs prediction title anyhow
