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

If you play more than once, use a different nickname or put a 2 and the end of your nickname.

      Fri, Feb 14, 2003, 17:38 		J, you are right.

You can pick any team you want but you can only pick 1 and it has to be a loser.

Thus if 2 people pick Toronto and 30 pick Ottawa and Toronto wins, The 30 are out.

So if you want to adjust your pick just delete your thread and repick.

      Fri, Feb 21, 2003, 15:19 		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.
