[-Jrabbit]

Seriously? That's your play?
At least take it to a football thread.

Funny that. You started this **** here. As usual.

Anyways, rah and Ming are perfectly able since we know they know more about football to crush me in a poly league next year. I'll be there. Let's see if ming and rah will accept the challenge. I beat JR most every year so there's nothing special about that anymore.

Unlike your spam-trolls, I was directly answering a question posed by the thread starter, on topic, when I mentioned you.

The funny thing is that I don't go into random threads posting about you, JR.

Why are you letting me live rent free in your head?

[snoopy369]

Forgot to add my overall. Chicago over Pittsburgh in six.

[rah]

Has ben quit yet?

[rah]

I think ben has confused me with someone that has played in a Fantasy Football league. I never have and probably never will.
But I do have to laugh at someone that equates doing well in a fantasy football league with actual expertise of the sport.

I did beat you in this last year but do not claim any special knowledge of hockey. That would be just plain silly.
Simple Bragging rights is totally different though.

[Sava]

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.

Wait. What?

Is it round by round? Or not?

Or round by round but we also choose the conference champs and possible Stanley Cup winner? But then why? Don't we make that pick again anyways?

I'm confused.

[rah]

IT's round by round so your initial picks are still good.

You do however need to predict conference champs and Cup winner for "bonus points".

When those round happen you'll still be able to predict them.

IS that somewhat clearer?

[Sava]

Yes. Thx.

I pick Chicago and Boston for conference champs.

Chicago for Cup winners.

[rah]

Lot's of homers here.

[Sava]

I can't, in good conscience, choose anyone but the Hawks. Also, I don't like splitting my rooting interest.

Personally, I think Boston is very strong. If the Hawks struggle with injuries to Kane and Toews throughout the playoffs, I don't think they'll go far. But healthy? There's no better team.

And yes, these playoffs have that built-in excuse.

[Guynemer]

Reminder: playoffs start TONIGHT, so get your picks in NOW.

Individual rounds will be selected before each round takes place. However, you must predict the conference and SC champs before the puck drops tonight to earn bonus points.
