Hello all. Did you forget about the Playoff Bracket Challenge? Well, I didn't. I probably should have, based on my result, but I didn't. So, here are the results, in all their glory. Some interesting notes:

-Bridgid22 was perfect through the first round, but then the wheels fell off.

-Some people decided that picking the number of games each series would last was just plain too difficult. It cost a handful fo you in the standings, too.

- Hockey Wilderness as a whole knows absolutely nothing about the Eastern Conference.

- I cannot select the winner of a playoff series with a Sherpa and a GPS.

Make the Jump for the final results!

The winner, and grand champion of the first ever Hockey Wilderness Playoff Bracket Challenge, by manner of tie-breaker, is out very own.... BubbleWild48. JS correctly selected 8 of the series winners, mostly in the Western Conference. TonyO also selected 8 of the series correctly, but the total number of games played was 89, and that is the exact number JS selected. TonyO said there would be 88.

So, congrats to JS. GO ahead and change your signature line to reflect your new found fame, sir.

Wait a minute...

If Brigid22 was perfect through the first round, how come she only has 6 correct series?

Whoops. I meant perfect through the first round in the East. Sorry. (Yes, the East.)

Someone had to call the East Series tho.

I’m not sure what happened after the first round.

I blame the Habs.

YES, blame the habs!

I blame the Habs for everything wrong. Damn Habs… How dare they reach the Conference finals?

OK! Whew! :)

I had all the western conference correct also in the first round, just didn’t have the right number of games… in fact, my western conference was nearly perfect throughout the playoffs, I just picked Detroit over San Jose…

the bottom

well at least I wasn’t the only one at the bottom. Thanks Budda and Chis for sucking as much as I did.

Anytime. Though, I am proud of the fact that I sucked more than anyone else. It is truly an honor to be in absolute dead last place, you know? (Shh… I’m trying to stay positive here.)
