Only three back time to rethink my picks

Pick all ties, blazer. You are welcome. :-)

I'm not that crazy

As you wish, I've picked all ties for you! Not looking good so far😎

I think that approach is your only chance for reeling in the four ahead of you, blazer. Good luck!

Meanwhile, eastern teams have locked up the top two slots in the AHC regular season; did anyone here see that coming? I certainly did not.

Well I did so that makes me champion as seeing that gets you team bonus points! If not for the bonus points, I wonder who might have won on game picks alone?

POST SEASON HOCKEY!!!

Rules for the post season
-Make your picks for the entire weekend before the first puck drop (This is important especially for the championship weekend - we will pick the champion before the two semifinal games)
-Correctly picking the higher seed to win each game is worth 1 point. Correctly picking the lower seed to win each game is 2 points. (This was a recommendation a few years ago to try to encourage picking the "underdog").
-1 bonus point awarded for correctly picking the winner of each first round series (assumed to be the team you have winning at least 2 games), 2 points in the quarterfinals, 3 in the semis, and 4 for the champion. This is independent of the number of games for the 3 game series.
-1 point will be awarded for "backwards splits" - if you pick team A to win Friday and team B to win Saturday, but the opposite happens, you get 1 point. (Obviously this only applies to the best of 3 series.)
-For the 3 game series, you will pick your predicted winner of each game. If you do not think a game 3 will be played, select that. You can pick the same winner for all 3 games if you want (if you don't want to pick a 2 game sweep, but can't decide which game will be lost).
-Remember - there are no ties in the post season!

These rules may be confusing - don't hesitate to ask if you don't understand. Good luck all!

The google sheet where I will be tracking results can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

(Note that it is a different spreadsheet than the regular season).

Congratulations Sweeney. Well played!

Onto the playoffs which, given the parity of the teams, will be full of surprises. Who is the healthiest? Which team is playing it’s best hockey? Which teams, regardless of the standings, seem to have other teams numbers? As happy as I am for AIC to win the regular season title I don’t think they will win the AHA championship. But then again, I’m an RIT fan. 😋 Get your playoff picks in and thanks Mar for doing a great job as always.

Congrats Sweeny, well played! Downstate almost got you but his Homer picks were his downfall!

Thanks MAR for another excellent season!

Snively, you picked up four points going the all ties route. Not bad!

Thanks for making those picks in my behalf, blazer; almost enough points to dig me outta da cellar. :-)

Good luck to all in the post-season, which is really what counts.

Lol Blaze. RIT is always my downfall as I bet with my heart and not my head only when it comes to RIT. I picked them to sweep when they were swept, I picked them to get swept when they actually swept. I consistently picked the wrong games when I predicted splits. I never figured them out this year. I think I need to move to NH and out of NY to immerse myself into a better hockey environment. Just need to convince my better half! I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for the shout out.
