1. If you do not pick a team for the first day of the contest, you can't join midway through, you'll have to wait
for the next game to start.Look for the word *NEW* in the thread title.
2. Anyone can join, just pick which team you think will lose, you cant pick that team again for 2 weeks.
3. When a new game starts your prior picks are erased and you can choose from any of the teams again.
4. Once you pick a winning team, you're considered a loser, please leave ;)
5. Your pick must be in before that particular game starts.
6. If you do not submit a pick for a given day, it will be counted as a loss, errr, a win, and you will be eliminated.
7. If there is a day with less than 3 games on the schedule, we skip that day and pick things up the day after.
8. Once we get to the final 2 players, a couple of new rules are thrown in…
a. Your pick cannot be posted more than 24 hours before that game starts.
b. The two finalists cannot have the same picks, first come first serve.
-Tiebreaker -amongst the teams you've picked, sum up their losses on the season.That is how you get
your tiebreaker number.The lower the better, it rewards you for picking better teams and staying away
from the bad teams.If there is ever a day where everyone picks a winner, the tiebreaker will eliminate
every remaining player who doesn't have the lowest number (there may still be 2 or more people with
identical tiebreakers, so they'd keep playing another day)

I'll pick right now, but surely i will forget who i picked in 2 weeks !!
so here we go : Toronto Maple Leafs
Just to let you know, The leafs is the team I dislike the most. I think its because we get brainwashed when we are at a younger age here in montreal. Its a natural thing to hate Toronto !

I just don't particularly appreciate the bad english skills. It should be, and I will always call them the Maple Leaves.
I just wish that they'd let the Thrashers win every once in a while! Then they'd probably stop trying to hurt all the leaves!

If you call them the "Maple Leaves", then there'd be millions of ways to make puns whenever they lose...

Congrats Caribou!! I totally forget about it. FWIW, I probably would have picked Washington.
