GM members success rate for round 1

Hey all,

For fun I thought I'd look at the round one poll results to see how the GMHockey collective has done. For simplicity I'm just going to put number of votes towards one team or the other rather than breaking down the results. You can look at the polls themselves if you really want to know.

Also for round 2 if you want to vote you better do it soon because I'm closing all round 2 polls before I leave this afternoon at 4pm EST. so I can get a more accurate picture of how GM members perform in round 2 voting.

Round 1
- Chicago vs. Calgary - Chicago wins it in 6
GM Members voted 8 to 5 in favour of a Chicago series win. :##:
Most popular choice - Chicago in 6!!!



- Anaheim vs. San Jose - Anaheim wins it in 6
GM Members voted 13 to 6 in favour of a San Jose win
Most popular choice - San Jose in 6 :doh:



- Washington vs. NY Rangers - Washington wins in 7
GM Members voted 14 to 6 in favour of a Washington win. :##:
Most popular choice - Washington in 5

I find that one interesting since the vote was so close.
Most popular choice - Columbus in 6?


Congratulation GM members not a bad first round record!!

6 :##: to 2 with two perfect predictions as the most popular choice.

I wonder how we do next round.

There must be a way to show who voted for whom on the polls. That would be a slick addition. We'll have to look into that. cool)

Agreed. that wouldn't be too bad to check out who was fortunate (or perhaps skillful enough) to nail dead-on picks...

Now you're just getting complicated .

It's cool to know who picked what in polls. Trust me, it adds to the excitement...or maybe that's too strong a word... :^^^^:

That's fine. What's bad is I went against everything I had thought about and picked SJ to win over Anaheim. I openly admitted to getting cold feet and not having the stones to go ahead with the underdog pick.

Only ones I got right was Washington in 7 and Detroit in 4. The rest I was pretty much garbage on

Just check the Bracket Pool thread. Three of us went 7-1. I don't think anyone here (in any of the polls) went 8 for 8 or we would surely have heard about it by now.
