Not sure why there was two threads.

I deleted the other one.

Ugly seedings, particularly in the west, blech.

I picked the Flyers to win; that way if the Pens lose to them I have something to live for.

I'm a total homer, with total homer picks

I'm in a $20 confidence pool...last year we had about 50 people. I'm thinking it goes up a bit this year...if anyone wants in, let me know.

A confidence pool is, essentially, you pick the series winner and assign a number to it. Like, if you're sure Pittsburgh is going to win, they get an 8...highest confidence. Next series, Nashville over Colorado gets a 7. And all the way down to the series you're least sure of: Washington over Columbus gets a 1. You get a bonus point for picking the series length correctly.

It's a 70/20/10% pay out as I recall. I'm assuming we hit a $1,000 pot give or take...

Just for those that want to put a little cashish on the line...not intended to hijack this thread...

66 points for me in the 1st round...probably running circles around you dodints. It's a good thing for y'all that I couldn't get in.

Congrats, Gabe. Managed to both make a homer pick and win the whole thing.

Golden Knights are going to win tonight. I wore my GK t-shirt to the gym, and they've never lost when I've worn it while working out.
