I will do some reading and lock in my picks before tbe first game tonight.

If it's before I leave work, that would be ideal (3 p.m. your time).

Han, Clay, you guys have until 4 p.m. your time or you're getting default picks.

As for me, I'm afraid I have a very unenviable roster right now, even compared to some of the guys who finished below me in the regular season standings. So I'm going to have to play a bit of a gambit, put all my chickens in one team-basket, and hope they can go deep, netting me some points while simultaneously stifling everyone else's picks. I'm taking:

Little
Wheeler
Oshie
Stastny
Filppula

I need the Jets vs. Blues in the Western Conference Finals, with the winner defeating the Lightning for the Cup.

I'm very aware this could backfire on me, but even if I take my "safe" picks (Malkin, Zetterberg, etc.), they'll either drop out or be dominated by other players from the same team, landing me in the middle of the pack. At least this way I'll either finish first or last!

At least Stastny doesn't cost you $7mil.

Please put Kane in instead of Parise.

My 5 are:

Stamkos
Kane
Backstrom
Datsyuk
Nash


Thanks!

If you noticed, I DID get Kane in well before the first game of tonight.

I noticed and I made the change!

I'm hopefully going to finish updating the sheet to include all the new playoff data this morning. I'll post again when everything is done! I know Vic's out to a big lead so far.

EDIT: The playoff sheet is updated!

Everyones best scenario going into round 2 is.

Me lose Crosby or Stepan/Yandle after round 1 idk if I'd prefer the duo or Crosby to continue on with probably the duo as the rangers have a better chance of going all the way.

Kreeg is losing Stamkos or Datsyuk

Kit wont lose anyone

Kong wont lose anyone

Hans is gonna lose Getzlaf or Ladd (I'd personally rather lose Ladd) and Subban or Ryan

Vic is losing Pacioretty or Karlsson (If Pacioretty plays)

Clay wont lose anyone

---

Worst case sccenario

Me: Left with just Crosby
Kreeg: Left with just Datsyuk or Stammers
Kit: Left with no one
Kong: Left with no one
Hans: Left with Ladd and Subban or Ryan
Vic: Left with a possibly injured Pacioretty
Clay: Left with no one

The sheet has been updated after last night's games. Of course, the guy who didn't even pick his own team is in first place. I'll assume he just didn't post because he was happy with his top 5 and didn't need to intervene.

Awesome Game last night for the Wild!!! I couldnt watch as I was chaperoning the overnight field trip to the science museum. You bet I listened to the 3rd period on my phone after lights out! haha.
