    The 2019-2020 Stanley Cup Playoff Challenge

    Guess we could call this the Corona Cup as well.

    I put a call in to Bettman to ask how we should do this, but so far no answer. I propose we wait till the wildcard games are over and then use the same format as last year. All in favor?

    Bueller?


    Bueller?


    Bueller?


    That's what I thought. Rules are below, plenty of time to get ready.

    HOW TO PLAY:

    Anyone can play. Gather points by picking winners using the method of your choice.

    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

    Oops! I didn't realize the second round had started. Honestly, not even following this year.
    I am not even watching baseball this year, and I'm a huge baseball fan.....errr, used to be, I guess.

    Full disclosure, I do know Vegas won game 1, but don't know any other results.
    Personally think I should be DQ'd, but since it's just for fun anyway:

    Philly in 4
    Tampa in 7
    Vegas in 5
    Dallas in 7

    Don’t worry about it, no one posted until after the game was over. This Corona Cup thing sucks the big moose weanie.

    So anyways, after round one:

    BKM – 8 (made big points shamelessly betting against his own team)
    Mr. Clean – 6 (picked all four winners on the East side and remains the only participant with his team in the running)
    Keister – 6 (still thinks the Pens have a chance)
    El Camexican – 4 (sucks at this)

    Just an FYI, this is my last year for this guys. What we saw these past two days has ended my support and passion for NHL hockey.

    Just as the players did what they felt was right, I too am doing what my heart tells me is the right thing to do and ending my support for pro hockey.

    I was brought up to finish what I started, so I will see this season to the end in terms of posting choices and points on here, but then I’m done.

    If someone wants to take this over next year please feel free.

    God bless.

    AMEN, I am very disappointed in the NHL and players.
