WildCard Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Alright, fools, let's get this thing going. I know the playoffs aren't set yet, so you'll have some time to register and set up your bracket before they do. The search function and I don't get along, so I can't find who won this thing last year. Really hoping everyone joins, it's a fun time League: Sabrespace Password: sabrespace Join! http://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/#/picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm in. Who're you leaning towards? I'll stick with my preseason pick of Washington > LA Kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Who're you leaning towards? I'll stick with my preseason pick of Washington > LA Kings. Not sure yet, Washington is obviously a good choice, I might go for a hot team in the east like Pittsburgh though (not sure when Fleury is back) I'll probably wind up with LA in the west too, it is an even year after all. But when I do these things I usually go series by series and let it unfold, I don't try to pick winners beforehand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rags are stumbling into the playoffs, and Florida still is a very young team with Barkov, Huber, and Ekblad all tasting the playoffs for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love me some Barkov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really underrated that kid. Someone on an NHL network the other day compared him to a future Bergeron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I did horribly last year, but it was fun. I'm in. Thanks, Wild for setting this up and making it easy for the rest of us ... :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 If this bracket goes anything like my March Madness bracket, then I will be of no competition to you all :P Seriously, I'm a pretty big college basketball fan and I follow the sport throughout the year. Yet somehow, my fiancee has beat me in our bracket challenge four years running without watching any games, knowing any players, etc. It's hilarious but sad at the same time. Anyways, can't wait for the NHL playoffs, so I'm looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 And done. No sense in over thinking it. My bracket has been pretty bad the past 2 years. Just winging it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Can anyone fill out their bracket? Yeap. Go to 'My Bracket' once you log in I went Caps > Ducks, 36 goals scored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Can anyone fill out their bracket? I just did, so it should work. Kings over Caps. Florida makes it to the ECF fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I think I might fill out two brackets just for a pure experiment: my real bracket, then a bracket going straight score-adjusted Corsi. Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis 3h3 hours ago Win percentage, last 45 NHL playoff series, for better: Record: 51% No. 1 G SV%: 58% Goal diff.: 62% Score-adjusted Fenwick: 73% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Playoff brackets are now officially set, don't forget to sign up! Thanks for setting this up. Caps and Stars..... 33 Goals The West should be fun to watch this year. I'm guessing the Penguins are the only competition for the Caps but having said that I probably just guaranteed the Flyers a first round win.

Eleven Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Pittsburgh over Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Just joined. Ducks over Caps. Largely because I think it would be hilarious for the Ducks to win it this year after the wailing and gnashing of teeth early on. And they could very well do it.
