sakiqc Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 She didn't win last year (she wasn't in then), I won last year's pool. ok - thought you were referring to her. anyways don't play hard against her and remind her to make her selections before round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hopefully everyone made their picks for round 2. I don't want to win by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hopefully everyone made their picks for round 2. I don't want to win by default Mine are in. Had to take a group of lesser known gambles to try to work my way back up the standings, I hate having to do that. Takes a lot longer to put together a roster then.

JoeLassister Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My picks are in. Crossing my fingers to see a few series go in 7, cuz if it takes less than 12 days, I will miss Round 3-4 just like last year... I think my D-Squad worth 5 pts all together...

dlbalr Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 we'll see if your gambles beat my 3 sedins I've got 2 daniels and 1 henrik I kept Daniel Sedin, no star though as I gambled on Franzen having a huge 2nd round, starred him instead. Looks as if 1 person didn't input any picks while one other (Norm) only has a few guys picked. Shouldn't take too long for either of them to shuffle to the bottom.

Habsfan84 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Selecting Neuvirth definitely didn't help me at all. 0 points out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenDittero Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Selecting Neuvirth definitely didn't help me at all. 0 points out of him. I had him too. Did not see that sweep coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I didn't take Neuvirth but I did take (and star) Howard. That's a double ouch there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenDittero Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I didn't take Neuvirth but I did take (and star) Howard. That's a double ouch there. Sadly ( for me ) I had Neuvirth starred. Also have Semin, Briere, and Mezaros. Oh yeah, have Simon Gagne too. My biggest payoff ( at 6 points ) so far has been Niemi. For the sake of my team I hope Philly draws round 2 out a bit longer...

The chase is on !!!! same for me.. 3 X 0.. I also picked Demers & Neuvirth Datsyuk + the star.. nice pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 same for me.. 3 X 0.. I also picked Demers & Neuvirth Datsyuk + the star.. nice pick I know When Crosby is down, Datsyuk is my pick for Best Player in the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My picks are in. Same strategy as last year, making sure to have at least 2 players from each team so that I'm guaranteed a shot at some points in the finals no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose the opposite and loaded up on guys I figure to be in the finals. The way I see it, I've done this every year... and been burned each time... so this year it's gotta work, right?

Guaranteed to have at least 2 defs and 2 forwards in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm with Lazy26 here.. all in! Anyways, I predicted a Canucks win over the Bruins so no stretch for me to put all my eggs with them at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenDittero Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I had to go with the all in approach. So far, in both the pool and in the prediction threads, I've been wrong. Figure I'll try the George Costanza method of going the exact opposite of my first reaction. I'll either win big or go down in flames. Good luck everyone.

JoeLassister Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm fond of the all or nothing approach, especially when there's no money on the line. My approach is a balance between being idiot and all-in. If BOS-VAN meet in the finals, I have almost a full lineup whil if TB-SJ meet in the finals, I have 4 players only.
