What is the story about?
Welcome back to round two of the Canes Country Playoff Pick’em Contest. NHL scheduling has kind of messed us up but after some deep thought, I made a big boy decision and I hope that this is the best way to go forward. We waited until the first round was completely over and while two games of the second round have already been completed, everyone is on the same footing here so here we go.
Please make your selections in the following order.
Hurricanes/Flyers
Canadiens/Sabres
Avs/Wild
Ducks/Golden Knights
The rules again are below. I will leave this thread open until game time for the Hurricanes, 7 P.M. Monday night. Anything posted after that will not count.
The rules:
- Make a selection for each first round series in the comments: who wins, and in how many games.
- In the first round, you’ll get one point for each winning team you correctly pick. The points double for each successive round, so two for the second, four for the conference final, and eight for the Cup final.
- If you pick both the correct team and the correct series length, you’ll also get five bonus points. The five bonus points will stay constant throughout the contest; the points for picking the winners will increase in each round.
- You get zero points if you don’t pick the correct team to win, even if you get the series length correct.
- The maximum score, if you get every single winner correct and nail the length of each of those series, is 107 points. You will not get 107 points. If you get even half of that, you have a good chance of winning the contest.
- The comments will close at the start of Hurricanes/Flyers Game 2 on Monday at 7:00 P.M. Eastern
- Entries must be posted in this comment thread; we will not include any entries in the comments on any other article.
Good Luck!
(ongoing results will be posted later)
