NHL Board Playoff Pool 6.0

[esls79]

This will be the 6th year running this and I'm not sure who the past winners are, but whoever you are, a belated congrats. As usual, we'll try to get updates on a daily basis, but no promises. The scoring committee is busy updating her spreadsheets and they should be ready and error free by puck drop of the first playoff game.

I'm not sure about the prizes this year. Maybe vCash.

All entries need to be posted to this thread by the puck drop of the first game - lets say 7pm EST on 4/30.

Rosters: Pick 3 C, 3 W (any combo of RW or LW), 3 D, and 2 G. Please don't try to bend the rules and pick a center that also may have wing eligibility in
your fantasy league. Centers are centers (except when they are centres) and wingers are wingers - if there is some doubt, ask me, I'll make an executive decision.

Here's the scoring categories:

Goal 3 points
Assist 2 points
Game Winning Goal in Regulation 3 points
Game Winning Goal in OT 6 points
In addition to these, bonus points apply to:
Power play goal or assist 1 bonus point
Shorthanded goal or assist 3 bonus points
Hat trick 5 bonus points


Shot on Goal 0.25 points
Missed shot -0.10 points
Faceoff Won 0.10 points
Faceoff Lost -0.10 points
Hit 0.25 points
Shot Blocked 0.25 points
Takeaway 0.75 points
Giveaway -0.25 points
PIM's 0.10 points
+/- 0.50 points for pluses
+/- -0.50 points for minuses

Goalies can accumulate any of the above points as well


Goalie stats
Save 0.10 points
Goal Against -0.5 points
Win 4 points
Shutout 7 points

Shanabans. Any player who gets suspended will have -5.0 bonus points per game. A two game suspension will cost you 10 points and so on. Pronger mode activated.

Tiebreakers

If teams are tied with the exact same rosters, they stay tied. Nothing to do to stop this from happening. Please try to choose an unique roster. If teams are tied with different rosters, the tie break is as follows:

1. Conn Smythe winner on roster
2. Game Winning Goals accumulated
3. Shutouts accumulated
4. best plus/minus overall
5. least PIM's

Best of luck to all participants

Error free? Hm... we'll see about that. There's no guarantee. Though, if this year is like past years, daretobe will be right on my toes making sure I count every last 0.10 points correctly.

And the updates on a daily basis, we'll see about that too. That's less of a guarantee, especially since there are a few days during the playoffs I'm scheduled to be out of town...

Did dare win the whole ball of wax last year?

 

[dboy97]

I sense a lot of Penguins and Blackhawks will be picked.

Maybe. I think one of these years we should do this with a salary cap, like the NFL playoff pool I've played in recent years.

 

[esls79]

I actually won the whole thing last year, but I had picked all Kings and Panthers player.

So basically you won with Kings players huh?

Panthers guys didn't hurt me too much, they did take the Cup runners up to double OT in game 7. Nobody else took Kings players so it worked out nice for me.

I usually pick my team before the playoffs are even set, and neither the Kings nor the Panthers had clinched a spot yet when I picked my team.

lol, I've only won twice, but one is forever lost in the annals of the swamp.

I'm due.

LOL, I'll just replace Malkin and Crosby with Iginla, Jokinen, and Morrow.

I made this thread a sticky by request. OK?

Well, here go all my eggs into two baskets.

Centers
Crosby - Malkin - Toews
Wings
Kane - Iginla - Hossa
Defensemen
Letang - Martin - Keith
Goalies
Fleury - Crawford

I used to try the spread out the players on various teams strategy. No more! I'm going for broke!

Is Crosby playing in the first series/game 1?

 

[beantownmaniac]

Well you could still pick a guy like Crosby. The salary cap is usually set up so you can pick 1 each top goalie/center/winger, then fill in the remaining lineup with good secondary players. It's a pretty cool system actually. I like it for the NFL playoffs also.

Good catch BTM, i didn't see DS team. I'm not changing though...

Hey, no biggie. You're both either in great shape or screwed big time should an upset occur in either/both teams series. Is Crosby a go for game 1?
