HERE WE GO!

No one got shut out last night, but there are definite winners and losers this morning, both in the pool and in real life. 

If you have a problem with a score, let me know. I'm only human. Just like those blind jackasses who can't tell offsides from a side of beef. 

The number right after your name is your current total score. The number in parentheses is your previous score.

All scores from NHL.com.

We meet again...

All right, poolers, here's the breakdown:

Pittsburgh: 8
Boston: 7
Vancouver: 6
New York: 6
Nashville: 4

Detroit: 3

Chicago: 2

Saint Louis: 2
Philadelphia: 1
New Jersey: 1
Los Angeles: 1
Washington: 1

Judging by this distribution, we are collectively predicting that Pittsburgh will barely squeak by the Bruins or the Rangers to play (and win) in the Cup Final against Vancouver.

I will fearlessly predict that this is finally the Sharks' year. Cause fate loves pulling that kind of crap.

And as Derek said, no one named Datsyuk or Zetterberg were picked. Or Franzen.

Anyone else have any brilliant insights into the draft? Post them below!

Oh, and Montreal gets third overall this summer. Whooadeedo.

The Draft...

...is over!
Congratulations to all on a rapid draft. I much prefer this to a several-day long affair.
I appreciate everyone carving out some time of their Easter Sunday in order to do this.

The Pool! The Pool! Everyone in the Pool!

Here it is, your draft order!

1) P-Stone
2) Father of Kovalev
3) Derek
4) Bride of Kovalev
5) Me!
6) Hawks Fan
7) Mother of Kovalev

Rules:

The draft goes down, then up, then back down again, etc etc.

You pick: 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, 1 goalie, in any order you choose.

Multi-positional players are ok, but you have to pick which role (Forward OR Defense) they will fill on your team.

Goalies: you pick a TEAM'S goaltending. For instance, if you like Carey Price and want to take him in the draft, you get him AND Peter Budaj, and whatever Quebecois goalies the Habs have in the minor leagues at the moment.

2 points per goal, 1 point per assist, 1 point per win, 2 EXTRA points per shutout for goalies.

If your guy is injured, he still earns points for wins. If he is SUSPENDED, he does NOT.

Final tie breaker is at my discretion, though a good rule of thumb is: total number of players from Cup Winning Team on YOUR team, followed by total goals for, etc etc.

Anything else? No? Good. Talk to you Sunday!

Good Riddance

Oh right, I have a blog.

So adieu to Gauthier and, a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" to the root of all this mess, Bob Gainey.
