0 Subject: Loser Pool starts tomorrow

Posted by: C.SuperFreaks - [380481120] Fri, Feb 14, 2003, 15:15

Let's go.
Pick one team (that's 1 team) to lose from tomorrow's list of games.
You are eliminated if the team you have selected wins or ties.
Last man standing wins a prize (I have renovated my basement and I have no desire to put my old stuff back in it).
I will post the next game dates to choose from.
I will need a home mailing address from the winner to send out the prize. All states and provinces are eligible. :)

NY Islanders at Los Angeles@ 4:00 PM ET
Edmonton at Montreal@ 4:00 PM ET
Detroit at Atlanta@ 7:00 PM ET
NY Rangers at Buffalo@ 7:00 PM ET
Chicago at Columbus@ 7:00 PM ET
Carolina at Philadelphia@ 7:00 PM ET
Ottawa at Toronto@ 7:00 PM ET
Washington at Florida@ 7:30 PM ET
Pittsburgh at New Jersey@ 7:30 PM ET
Boston at Tampa Bay@ 7:30 PM ET
Anaheim at Nashville@ 8:00 PM ET
Phoenix at St. Louis@ 8:00 PM ET
Minnesota at Colorado@ 9:00 PM ET
Vancouver at Calgary@ 10:00 PM ET

My Pick: Pittsburgh

For games finished 1st period:

There ya go, the worst team in the west tied the best team in the west. Little M is through to the final, and Balrog's team is trailing 1-0 half way through the game.

Wow. Betting against a team that's on a 16-0-2-1 streak. That's a bold move, Balrog.

From RotoWorld: "David Aebischer will start [tonight] against the Islanders reports the Denver Post.
Patrick Roy, who is now over a bout with the flu, [played last night] against the Penguins."

Aebischer is no slouch, but his 6-8-0 record (2-5-0 on the road) leaves some room for a COL loss.

I think that if both Colorado and Phoenix lose, the title should go to Balrog for that pick :)

Good luck guys!

As the man in Spinal Tap said, "It's a thin line between clever and stupid."

I just hope I'm on the right side of the thin line.

Aebischer got most of his losses earlier in the season when the whole team sucked. He's won his last three games with a 2.33 gaa with a 93.8% save pct. He's been solid, so I agree, gutsy pick.

Good lord... How did you know that?
I suppose that's why I'm struggling mightily in the pick'ems. Why would anybody bet against the red-hot Avs and #1 Stars? I lost two of the picks right there.

no one bet against the stars. Just the Av's. We all knew Roy was sitting, Hejduk was hurtin, not such a terrible idea. They were on the road, 2nd of a b2b.

So, do we start over again now? :)
