The greatest time of the year, the NHL Playoffs, are once again upon us and the matchups have been set and will begin early this week.

Our Hockey Mexican will be along shortly to breakdown the points structure for his bracketology thing he normally has going on that I still don't understand.

Look over the teams and get your first round picks lined up.

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and remove your hats for the best darn game on Earth! :Bounce:Bounce:Bounce

Same rules as last year and the year before that and the year before that one and so on. Ladders are below. You have till puck drop prior to any series start to make any changes to your picks.

HOW TO PLAY:
As always anyone can play. Gather points by picking winners using the method of your choice. Don’t worry if you haven’t kept up with hockey this season, or even if you don’t know anything about hockey, just chose your favorite laundry and if you’re wrong blame it on the officiating.

POINTS SYSTEM:
As with previous years I will post a list of pairings for each round. Participants will copy paste and post the list as well as type in a winner and how many of the scheduled 7 games they feel it will take for their pick to get to 4 wins, but again this year to lessen the chance of a tie there are additional points for those who wish to pick Conference winners and a Cup winner at the onset of the playoffs for 5 extra points of each correct Conference pick and 10 for the Cup winner to be added to your totals at the end of the playoffs. You may feel dirty picking a team you don’t like to win, but it’s the only way to make points at times.

- Pick your Conference winners (5 points each) and Cup winner (10 points) for up to 20 points
- The first round awards 1 point for picking a winner and 1 point for picking how many games it took the selected team to win the series. Max points for the first round is 16
- The second round awards 2 points for picking a winner and 2 points for picking how many games it took the selected team to win the series. Max points for the second round is 16
- The third round awards 4 points for picking a winner and 4 points for picking how many games it took the selected team to win the series. Max points for the third round is 16
- The final awards 8 points for picking the winner and 8 points for picking how many games it took the selected team to win the series. Max points for the second round is 16


Here are the pairings for the 2019 Challenge.


WEST
Central
Predators VS Stars
Jets VS Blues

Pacific
Flames VS Avalanche
Sharks VS Golden Knights

EAST
Metropolitan
Capitals VS Hurricanes
Islanders VS Penguins

Atlantic

Optimism is high here in Pittsburgh after the 4 game sweep of Cincinnati over the weekend. The rotation is leading the majors in ERA and ......... oh wait...... this game is about that sport that fills the gap between the super bowl and MLB opening day.

I was fortunate enough to be in the building a few weeks ago when Markin scored his 1000th point. Same game that cave boy got his 1200th point on our ice. Bitersweet, yes, but we got the W so that's what matters in the end. I can't pick the Pens this year after Tampa Bay essentially lapped the field during the regular season. Doesn't much matter who wins out west either, as those 8 teams are rather pedestrian.

Tampa Bay over Columbus in 5
Bruins over Leafs in 6
Caps over Canes in 6
Pens over Islanders in 7

Predators over Stars in 6
Jets over Blues in 7
Calgary over Colorado in 6
Vegas over San Jose in 7

Lighting wins the East
Flamers win the West

Lighting in 5 for the cup.

After Rock and Rolling all night, and partying half of the day yesterday I found myself shaking the cobwebs out of my brain this morning. I figured I'd take a peek at the results from last night, when I saw the Lightning and Pens were both down 2-0, I have to say I'm completely shocked. I know it's a 7 game series, and CBJ was in this same position last year before they dropped 4 straight, but dang. Any thoughts?

Penguins are about to get swept. Although this isn't really an upset, the Islanders are the higher seed.

Actually, both 8 seeds have eliminated the #1's, so Columbus and Colorado are looking like the favorites at this point.

I'm sitting at the Niagara Falls (US) airport waiting to fly down to Orlando. Typically, this flight is about 85% Canadians. I've overheard lots of stories about Gretzky, Rob Ford, milk in bags, just about anything Canadian over the years. When the flight lands at 1030, assuming no one had their phone one during the flight, this plane is either going to erupt in cheers or groans. If it's groans, I'm planning on starting an "Overrated" chant. Depending on how many in flight cocktails I have. I never thought I'd say this, but please let March and score a hat trick and let the Bruins steam roll the Queefs

I was caught in the throes of Bring Your Kid to Work Day yesterday. I did login here and was about to make my picks yesterday at lunch, however I was informed by a 5-year-old that it was not acceptable to be on my computer during lunch time. Then I just never got back to it until I woke up this morning and realized the second round had begun. As it stands right now, my current score is -1. Not a great plus-minus to have after one round.

WEST
Blues VS Stars - Stars in 7.

This is a destiny team if there ever was. An interim coach and a back up goalie leading a team that was in dead last halfway through the season, sounds like a Hollywood script.

Not by a long shot. Apparently the NHL is taking a week off after the Western Finals to make sure the games line up to maximize TV advertising dollars. In reality, NBC probably dictates the schedule, not the NHL. The Bruins will have been sitting closer to 2 weeks when (if) the puck ever drops on this series. Two weeks off worked for the Patriots and the super bowl this year. Might as well do the same for the Bruins.

I got a buddy up in MO that I have been talking too since the beginning of the NHL playoffs who has similar conditions! Him and I had made a little bet on the second round of the playoffs,(Blues vs Stars) which consisted of the loser(me)buying the winners jersey, take a picture in the jersey and send it to the winner. It sucked losing that bet but has been bada$$ watching the games and talking/texing back and forth with him. I've been pulling for the Blues since they sent us packing in the second round. Sure would be fun to be at that game tonight.......O'er the land of the free and the home of the Blues.

With the exeption of the Yankees I usually pull for the team that takes mine out. In some way seeing the Blues win the Cup makes the Jets (or in your case Dallas) second loser by default, but with the Jets gone what’s really making this series special is knowing what it means to bkm to see the Blues get this far and hoping I’ll get to feel this way one year.

BTW, having the Raptors make the NBA final does nothing for me, unless of course they took the Yankees out to get there.

This is a destiny team if there ever was. An interim coach and a back up goalie leading a team that was in dead last halfway through the season, sounds like a Hollywood script.

Just thought I’d repost this

Oh boy, where to start? First I want to thank one of my best buds El, who never gave up on this team even when I did multiple times. I don't think there was a playoff game where we didn't text back and forth. Joe was there through it all too, and Dan was an absolute class act throughout the whole finals.

If sports aren't your thing, I can get why you'd look at me like I've got three heads growing out of my neck, but this sport means so much more to me than just being a game. From the time that I could remember, Blues hockey was a way of life for my family. My grandpa used to take me out of school to go watch training camp, my dad taught me how to skate, and up until their deaths in '10 and '07 respectfully, they lived it and breathed it.

I've watched Presidents trophy winning teams lose in the first round, I've watched division champs get swept by the 8th place teams. I've watched heartache after heartache with this team, and swore I'd never devote another second of my life to it more times than I can count, and yet came back every year. This isn't like the Cubs, because historically they were absolutely horrible teams with no chance of winning, but the Blues were always touted as a contender almost every year, only to fold up like a cheap tent.

And here we are, at a place I never thought I'd be, even as recent as before game 7 started. I didn't think we had a chance because this entire fanbase is predisposed to being let down year after year, and like I said, here we are, the 2019 Stanley Cup Champs.

God bless it, what a sport!

Well, it may not seem like much, but for the next 12 months he’s the man that women want and that men want to be.

Hi, this is Troy Robillard. I was wondering if you had time this evening to talk to us about NCSA?

I received this text yesterday, not knowing who this TROY guy was I did a search. Supposedly some hockey player. Now he either sent this to me by accident or it’s some kind of scam.
