Like I said, I didn't make a pick, and I'm not making one.

How're ya doin' in the pool?

Better than Maggie :n:

And I haven't given anyone the right to make a pick for me.

So I want my name taken off the list for the pool.

That simple. So if anyone wants my points, they are welcome to take them.

OK.

Dave, I've changed your "pick" to "ABST". Updated spreadsheet has been uploaded to the usual spot. You'd have to talk to an admin to remove your name from the group mailing list. As for assigning your points to someone else, I hope you were not being serious. Hockey may be a team sport, but bracket pools are not. There will be no pooling of resources here.

So... wprager and cassie_1 have different picks meaning that cassie_1 can win the pool if Detroit wins in 6. Otherwise, it's wprager's pool.

DTR - did you drop out because there was no chance at winning it?

I have not done a detailed analysis, but if Pittsburgh wins the next four (snicker-snarf) then Cap'n Clutch rises to the top, with dennycrane a distant second. I'd pull down third. Same order if it goes to the Pens in seven.

Detroit can now afford to sit Datsyuk out another game or even both games. They've already assured themselves of at least a best of 5 with home ice advantage. They have a legitimate shot at taking one in Pittsburgh even with Pavel not playing, and if it's game five in Detroit with the Cup waiting down the hall there isn't much Pittsburgh will be able to do to stem that tide.

If Pittsburgh somehow pushes it to game six I believe we'll have a game 7.

Obviously I was way off in my choice and prediction but I certainly wasn't alone. Have a look at the poll results. Pens in 6 was the most popular choice so .

My bad... I made the assumption that Detroit would win the series. Bad me.

The Wings will still likely win but the Fat lady has gone into hiding for a bit now hasn't she?

OK, there are three possible outcomes left. Here is the analysis:

1. Detroit wins tomorrow (DET6):
caissie_1: 1st place with 66 points
wprager: 2nd with 63
Bramlet07: 3rd with 58

2. Detroit loses tomorrow but wins game 7 (DET7):
wprager: 1st with 71
Bramlet07: 2nd with 66
Sennies1980: 3rd with 64

3. Pittsburgh wins remaining two games (PIT7):
Cap'n Clutch: 1st with 57
dennycrane: 2nd with 53
wprager: 3rd with 47

Funny, I am guaranteed a top-three finish. One of each. Is that picking for the cycle?

:p:

Wrong? Sure. Funny? I think so. :n:

So Pragues it's all down to you or me for all the marbles. May the best Poolie win.
