Do we need to pick the number of games in the finals now?

[Guynemer]

No. Looks like it's gonna be round by round.

So before each round, pick the winners and number of games.
Before the tournament starts, pick the conference champs and the Stanley Cup champ.

Rah beat you last year.

Wow, no wonder that must scotch your shorts. I still beat you despite my Chargers homerism and not playing the last two rounds.

Yet you were wrong once again... and always the quitter.

Enjoy.

[Ben Kenobi]

Play a poly league against me next year. If you dare.
