Gordon Head Hockey Pools

Wow what a series! Red Wings have got heart. That series went from a dream to a nightmare for some and a nightmare to a dream to a tough loss for others. Vans still in it and Gord's got the bracket. Dan sits firmly in the coon seat. Details to the right.


Dan- 93 pts
Ranon- 75 pts
Gord- 65 pts
Chris- 57 pts
Ben- 56 pts
Pat- 55 pts

So I have asked a few people about what they think on Ranon's idea of having a bonus if anybody gets the bracket 100% Which is near impossible, in fact I am the only one who can do it now, and with TBL putting the hurt on WSH, I probably won't do it either. But the feedback is still positive, I am going to institute the idea, which is if anybody does get 100% this year (me) or any year, then for the regular season draft they will get two names in the bucket. That is all.

Well it was an intense round. Great Hockey. Close calls and heart attacks. This is what we got:
Gord leads the playoff bracket with no holes in his bracket, Ranon is second with one hole.
Then the pool:
Gord and Ranon got 10 players through
Dan and Chris got 9 players through
Pat got 6
Ben got 4

Ranon- 48 pts
Pat- 43 pts
Dan- 42 pts
Gord- 39 pts
Chris- 35 pts
Ben- 34 pts

Here's the Brackets (click on the bracket image). There will also be notes this year, uploaded each round if there is any note of interest.
I was also wondering if anyone wants to debate over tiebreaks for the regular pool. It is not really official as to how tie breaks happen because a tie for the win is such an improbability. However, if such a rare occurance does transpire we have two options: 1. Most goals or 2. Best points per game average. Personally I am leaning towards average because...

Well it's redemption time. The spreadsheets are to the right. I'll update after every round. And I will put up the playoff bracket soon.

Ben! Yep, Ben won. Looks like Kesler in the third round is not just a good pick but an excellent and savvy pick. I don't have much else to say. You can view the results in the spreadsheet here or in the history page. I hope to see everyone at the bar when the pot is awarded, and for the adjoining playoff pool draft. Redemption time! Also, in the future hopefully we can get a dialougue going on this webiste using the chat forum. I think we may be missing out on some good trash talkin, the site...

Well this is it. The last update before the end of the season. Trades have come and gone, although next year we will be saying that much sooner, and we are ready for the final push. After three months of being on top my throne has been usurped by Ben and it looks like he is set up to run away with it. However, it is not over until the final buzzer sounds. ********************Some important dates:
Tuesday April 12th will be the awarding of the pot as well as the draft for the playoff pool. For ...

After a talk with Dan yesterday I have decided to institute a new rule. Scored points for goaltenders are not counted, hence any assist for a goaltender this year has not been recorded, mainly because it is not a stat that the NHL.com takes note of. However, we were discussing goaltender goals and I feel that due to the rarity and specialness of them, it seems hard not to award the person with that goalie a point for such a feat. So technically in the spreadsheet I designed we would consider ...
