The Second season is the best season!
My usual horse came up lame this year, so I am not sure who I am rooting for.
I know more who I am rooting AGAINST…
If either the Habs, Capitals, Black Hawks, or Flames fail… my hockey pool is toast.

That is almost the way you have to play it in order to win. A balanced approach only seems to get you so far. The winners usually are decently heavy on one or two teams…. or they just pick most of the right guys in the boxes.
That is the real key, but the hardest to actually do.
Minnesota went out in the 2nd Round last year, but Zach Parise had more points than Max Pacioretty who went to the 3rd Round with Montreal. (They were choices in the same box)
It is just so hard to predict. You gotta put all your eggs in between 2 and 4 baskets I think.
And I have been so freaking busy the past 4 days that I haven’t even given a thought to my choices yet…

Let us know how you roll this year, also… is Gargantua in again?

He certainly is. His was that marvelous commentary on Hillary Clinton and the US presidential race.
Might take me an extra day to get everyone’s stuff filled out and the first update out, but you will be able to see everyone’s picks as always.
The Hillary Clinton joke went over my head, any context?
There’s no context.
Just the truth.

Yes. Pretty much.
Politics is pretty much the opposite of that, but that’s why we need Garg around.
I don’t even know why I brought her up in the Pool. Just to say that she announced her run for president, with an underlying dose of sarcasm from me.
I’m guessing big G went heavy on the nuks, and seeing as I picked a lot of Flames… our pools pretty much hinge on that series. I doubt he picked any Sens to spit back at my face… or maybe he did, who knows.

I will let him answer that… since he hasn’t sent me his picks yet!
Tick Tock, Tick Tock….
LOL.
My nose picks have been submitted baby, don’t worry.
And I picked a lot of habs, so if we go down… we’re going down together.
what happened in the montreal game? Sounds like there was all sorts of chaos. I was watching Blackhawks mostly
I have no idea what that was but that it was AWESOME!
Activate Your Steel.
So cool, yet so dirty. wink wink

Habs won, PK Subban slashed Stone… so he is enemy #1 (as always), and will again be booed in the playoffs whenever he touches the puck (same ol, same ol). The short and currly of it all was the Sens were trying to win one game, and the Habs were tring to win a 7 game series.
We shall see what happens tonight, hopfully experience will continue to prevail.
GO HABS GO

From all I have seen, past and present, Subban seems like a d-bag. Great player, but a punk if not outright dirty at times.
I’m not apologizing for him, just saying I’m glad he’s on our team.

Oh, yeah. He is definitely one of those guys you want playing for you rather than against you.
If only to prevent injuries to your guys… :lol:
Ottawa players are no angels, and the Ottawa Sun newspaper 2 years ago was guttless for this front page. That was game #1 and the Habs went on to lose that series.
Bottom line says…
“Sens take game one 4-2, but all talk on the hit”
2 years later…
“Habs take game one 4-3, but all talk on the slash”
