drabley Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 At this point, I don't care anymore. I just want to play. Here are my final picks for whatever format we decide on. I switched sides on the Ducks/Sharks after some thought. That's the series I'm least decided upon. Still no sweeps. Bruins in 6 Hurricanes in 7 Capitals in 5 Penguins in 7 Sharks in 6 Red Wings in 5 Canucks in 5 Flames in 6 And I'm wagering ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead: Festival Thyme EP (10" Picture Disc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swankymodes Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 If nobody else wants to, I'll handle the playoff brackets using the rules I posted above. Anyone object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've been Googling during my entire lunch break trying to find a decent way to do this and there's nothing that great. I'm in favor of just picking the whole thing and see who gets it right or comes closest. Let me know when the rules are official and I'll submit my final list. Not sure why I'm throwing down yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 One way that worked in my office was this: 2 points if you get the team 1 extra point if you get the right number of games 0 points for the wrong team even if you get the games Then you re-do the picks for reach round to take in to account re-seeding.

drabley Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think suggestion time is up. Time to vote. I vote for brad's version despite my coming up with the original idea. So it's Brad 1, Swanky 0, Sammy 0, Kirby 0. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 sammy's is basically the easier version of mine but I have no problem doing the math (with drabley as a second set of eyes to make sure we get it right and on time if he doesn't mind). I guess my vote would be for my proposal. also, as far as putting records up...would the thursday/thrice split be enough or should i up the value?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Is there a website that can handle this? Because someone's going to get some math wrong. http://rinkotology.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're at Brad 3, Swanky 0, Sammy 0, Kirby 0. And yes, I'll watch the points carefully, as will everyone else, I suspect. It would be tough to hammer down value evenly amongst everyone. Thursday/Thrice is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drabley Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Fifth pick bitches! What?!(Yep looking forward to yet another draft... :) I think one of the more exciting aspects of the draft is how Brian Burke plans to swindle the Islanders out of Tavares with that group of misfit toys he calls a team. If there's a GM that can do it, it's Burke. As for the 5th pick to LA, I'd go for Brayden Schenn or that Swedish forward. I'm expecting big things out of Toronto next season. Not a conference or cup yet, but a playoff caliber team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The Kings are just going with the person they deem the best player on the board. I might be tempted to draft Schenn and try to peddle him to Burke but there's nothing Toronto has the Kings need or want. Personally, I'd go with the best forward with some size unless that forward is just not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i love burkes quote at the deadline... something like, "sure i'll trade luke schenn...for 10 first round picks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swankymodes Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Okay, I'm in for the brakcet. I have no idea what the other records people have put in, or what they would even be worth, if anything. I'll ante up a Gaslight Anthem 'Senor & The Queen' 2x7" on black from the first pressing.
