2012 Playoff Pool - Entry fee= $10




Hi guys, just like last year please send me a list of your player pics

20 Forwards
8 Defencemen
2 Goalies

Goalies get 1 point for win, 2 points for OT win, and 0 for loss (OT or regulation). Additionally they get 2 points for a shutout (eg. 1 point for win, 1 point for shutout). In case of OT Shutout max points equals 3.

Goals and assists are 1 point each.

You cannot pick more than five players (F,D,G) for any one team. You must pick one rookie on your team, you can pick more if you wish but please designate the rookie to fill that position as he will get double points...added twist to pool.

Please submit your teams by Saturday at noon MST at the very latest.

Entry fee this year will be $10.00 because of the recession and further if you want to enter more than one team it allows you to spend double!

Please submit your teams as soon as possible, I will try and get stats out to you on a weekly basis and I will be posting everyone's teams as soon as I can (most likely this Sunday).

So guys pick your teams wisely and I look forward to your submissions.

Predictions from bob

Congrats Dan!



Why does it happpen? Because it happens - Roll the Bones...

"Jack - Relax
Gotta kick some Gluteus Max
It's Parallax,
The small gets big - It's a Rig
It's Action - Reaction
And some random interaction
Who's to say there's a little abstraction
It doesn't matter bow -
Because He's Number One!"

"Don't go folding
Lady Luck is Golden
She favours the Bold
And that's Cold
The night plays a thousand Saxophones
So get out there (and Rock)
And Roll the Bones!"

A little abbreviated chorus to Dan and the Great Whites from Rush's "Roll the Bones" and What a draft, Some Fortune in the ED, WD1 and WD2 and some auspicious trades to seal the deal...Yup, this may be Bob's unofficial congratulations but you grabbed 1st and wouldn't let go...Well done on Predator Cup 4 especially with Green FP -MIA and Price -FP STRUGGLES THE LAST 1/3 of the season with the problems in Montreal...

Alas...Always next year!

Meanwhile the Phantom Menace and the Shadowmen are collapsing, The Severed Heads, have hired a bounty hunter to hunt down and capture the Great Whites as Red Five seem to have created some "breathing space" with one week left. We'll see if any Drama out of the Dark occurs in the Final week

Place your Rosters here...If Emailed, they'll be posted here!

Good Luck Y'All as the season comes to an end...
