While we await tonight's LSSU/BSU rubber match, let's recap Round 2. All of the 4 top seeds advance to the quarterfinals. mbenecke, MTUHuskyGold, and puckdude40 claimed outright wins over mikeeddy19, Scrum Bucket, and hawerchuck while in the lowest scoring match of Round 2 Stauber1 tied their way to the next round over John J. MacInnes. In the other matches, Icd80 also tied their way to the quarters over sonofcrossjcek whose magical run finally came to an end. Drumstix rolled geezer out of the playoffs while GoNanooks and potternmu each pulled upsets over gochiefs and Bronco Hockey Fan (who will now have to box up the Jeff Sauer trophy and trudge to the nearest UPS store).
The Elite Eight is set with fellow AZZ'ers mbenecke taking on Drumstix, MTUHuskyGold up against Icd80, Stauber1 mano-a-mano with GoNanooks, and puckdude40 head-to-head with potternmu. The form for submitting picks will make its appearance at the conclusion of the LSSU/BSU game.
Wow, this is a pretty fascinating process. Thanks again for putting all the effort into this, TUPD. I am looking forward to seeing who wins and playing again next year. Good luck to the final eight😃
Bump. Not sure we'll be able to crown a champ but until they shut things down there are still 3 folks who need to submit picks.
Had I realized where we were headed I would have made Coronavirus a pick worth 5 points...
Edit: Looks like it's only a matter of time now. Five min after bumping the thread the Atlantic Hockey commissioner cancelled their playoff tournament.

Reason: Atlantic Hockey tourney cancelled
With the WCHA just now announcing the cancellation of the remainder of the playoffs, this will conclude the 2019-2020 edition of the WCHA Pick 'Em contest. Bronco Hockey Fan, hopefully you haven't shipped the Jeff Sauer trophy yet. Please hold onto it until next season.
Appreciate everyone playing along and making this the #1 pick 'em contest on the USCHO site. See you next year and be sure to wash your hands!

Thanks to you for doing all the work. We would have won, I'm sure of it.

Stick salute to TUPD. We can all do that safely from a distance.
sonofcrossjcek asked today, "If hockey is canceled that Talons guy can't finish the pick-em...right?" He is out of the competition but is bummed the rest of you can't finish. We are both very sad the season ended this way. I am sure all of you feel the same. See you next year.

Really appreciate the thoughts from your son. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him beat the crap out of the rest of us. Pass along my formal invitation for him to play again next year!
Folks, I've thought long and hard about doing a pick 'em this year, especially since it's the farewell season for the WCHA. But with things as fluid as they are with "you know what" I think I'm going to take this year off. Besides, by pressing my luck I'd likely be tempting fate and causing the 'rona to run rampant through each of the teams. So with that in mind I'll see everyone next year for the inaugural CCHA pick 'em.
