I'm putting together a pool for a 16 team random draw hockey pool for the playoffs. The cost is $10 and winner takes all. Chalmers, BBB, Sanitarium and I are in so we need 12 more teams. First 12 guys who reply "I'm in" will get in the draw. I'm hoping to draw tomorrow evening, maybe over a pint at the RB if schedule permits. Who's interested?
Confirmed:
1. BBBoogie
2. Sanitarium
3. Chalmers
4. LiverDance
5. Homebrewcrew
6. Bluenose
7. Leafsman
8. RobD

It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
It says random pick, does that mean random picking players or teams? I cannot make it to RB tomorrow night but am interested.

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
Sorry for the confusion, it will be teams. We plan on having 16 names in 1 hat and 16 teams in another and draw that wat. You don't have to be there doing the draw at RB is just so everyone knows its fair. We are are a big outfit but maybe we can organize a regular season draft when the new season rolls around.

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
Can't make it to RB, but count me in. Would be interested in a regular season draft style pool for next year as well ... TSN hosts a great free fantasy league site.

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
Here's the format we went with: 8 guys, each gets a team from each of the East and West.
Random drawing of the names, and then random drawing of a team from the E and W.
LD was the draftmaster, Chalmers was the secretary, BBB and Sanitarium were in attendance to assure impartiality.
Liverdance: Boston and Chicago
BBB: New Jersey Devils and Detroit
Leafsman: Nashville and New York Rangers
Sanitarium: Pittsburgh and Vancouver
RobD: Philadelphia and San Jose
Bluenose: Washington and Phoenix
Homebrewcrew: St Louis and Florida
Chalmers: LA Kings and Ottawa

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
To be fair for guys who aren't logged in, we've decided to stick with $10 per person, winner take all.
Sorry HBC, no Detroit or Pittsburgh, but St-L is a decent pick.

Yes, Sanitarium with Pitts and Van will be the one to beat.

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
I'll put up a growler of homebrew on this round, if you are interested, Leafsman and/or Sanitarium. Current list is in my signature.

Will there be any prizes for the person whose teams are eliminated first?

Rangers vs Ottawa could actually go as an upset in the first round ...

Re: NHLPlayoff hockey pool
Sounds good to me. I chose growler as I'm lazy and it's easier for me to prep a growler than a couple of bombers.LeafMan66_67 wrote:Chalmers - Can't match a growler (yet) but can put up a couple bombers of something.chalmers wrote:I'll put up a growler of homebrew on this round, if you are interested, Leafsman and/or Sanitarium.

I was looking at their season series, and this one has been dominated by Ottawa. But who knows what'll happen, now that it really counts.
