2017 MBB Playoff Challenge

[Rich]

Since a couple of people asked, I've setup a bracket league for the site.

Password is: MBB

If you are interested in joining, looks like you need to fill in your bracket before puck drop tomorrow.

I'll toss in a site sponsored Jets Store Gift Certificate (or team of your choice for the out of towners) for the winner.

I'm In

I'm late in doing this. Was gonna suggest the one my bro's company uses. Select players+goalies get points for this, that, shutout.

His is 20US entry fee but can always set up free one.

Another good one is http://www.pickuphockey.com/.  I use it for work pools.  You download a free pickup sheet from elsewhere, Dobber Hockey, or something like that. Then input teams and players chosen, site does the rest of the work for you.

This is what we use for all our player pools, reg season and playoffs...it's a real good set up and it's free.

ok so I clicked the link and it asked me to sign in, and then asked me to enter my email address and password for my account.  I didn't have an account.  So I ended up setting up an NHL account and entering my bracket, but I have no idea how to join the MBB group.  What I am doing wrong?  #aloneonanisland

EDIT - I think I figured it out...

You weren't the only one, took me a bunch of tries too.  

I don't get it, I've heard nothing but good things about NHL.com

Hey who won the regular season pool? Been meaning to ask that....

[Atomic]

So do you need an NHL account?  Cuz I don't have one and like others I can't figure out how to sign up.

I'll rephrase.... I know how to sign up for an NHL account.  I don't know if it's necessary to join the pool.

Yes it is.

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Create account, login, then reclick link first post.

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Just to confirm the goals in SC final is total among both teams?

Confirmed. I went with logical choices but this season has been nothing but logical.

I'm in for $20 too.

Nice! Lowest total possible points left!

[17to85]

I all of a sudden regret picking chicago to win....

[bigg jay]

Can i get a do-over?  ?

[Taynted_Fayth]

wish i could translate these results so far to my player hockey pool. Luckily i only picked 1 chicago player.  3 goals in a series, that's horrible. Rinne's 2 assists tied him for as much points as Chicago's top point getter (Kane)

[Noeller]

I've got Rinne in my player pool. We've got bonuses for Goalie assists and SOs....so his one game that he had an SO and 2As, I had a solid little night....

[Taynted_Fayth]

yeah my pool is like that too,  my grandma picked nashville (thus getting Rinne) so she got 5 point out of him (3 for the SO, 2 for the assists) meanwhile I got holtby as my goalie who can't seem to stop a brick.  BUT i was kind of hoping Washington and Montreal go 7 i need all the points i can get

Could be worse... I took Murray thinking the penguins would do something then he gets hurt in the warmups and Fleury took his jorb

[bearpants]

I had Minnesota and Montreal in the finals... how am I doing???
