Lighthouse Stanley Cup Pool - Standings Updated Rd2

PrintOkay Guys, I think we have almost all the regulars. From this point on (4/21) If you want in, I'd recommend coming back before the start of the 2nd round
I did a pool back for the Olympic Tourney and everyone had fun, especially when they looked back on their picks. So I'm willing to give it another try for the Stanley Cup. Predict the tourney in the comments section. Every 1st Round Series picked right is worth 1 point, 2nd Round series 2 points, Conference Finals are worth 3 and Stanley Cup is worth 4. All that matters is you pick who goes on to the next round. I'm going to let anyone jump in till the first round is done. You can also predict round by round, but I'm going to deduct points depending on the round. So here's my predictions
Standings After 2 Rounds
WB = 8
BBB = 7
Nova Scotia = 7
Ilopan = 7
Billymac23 = 6
BenHasna = 6
FightOff = 6
Rhinos = 5
Dom = 5
Rickfan =5
Andrew = 3
Congrats to BenHasna, Champ of the First Round. All Correct Winners picked in the 2nd round are worth two points. All that matters are the winners, so if for example you have the Devils and Penguins making it to the Conference Finals, if the Pens still make it you get two points.
Okay, now that the 2nd round is done, here's the standings. If your in Bold, it means every team you picked to advance is out. If your in Italics then you picked the Hawks and they are still alive. Every win in the 2nd round was worth 2 points Conference finals are worth 3 and the Stanley cup winner is worth 4. We can actually predict the winner already. If the Hawks are eliminated, I would win. If the Hawks win, then it comes down to BringBackBobby and Novia Scotia Isles Fan. If the Hawks win the Cup, Bobby Wins and if not then they finished tied.
2nd Rounders
These are people who started or made 2nd round picks. Same as the previous pool. Each round is worth an extra point.
Ricksfan = 2
ATL Jim = 2
Ilopan = 2

Late and laughable picks
I guess to be fair I should stick with who I picked in the 1st round, even though Detroit and San Jose are starting to make it look sketchy:
WEST QF
Det > Phx
SJ > Col
Chi > Nas
Van > LA
WEST SF
Det > SJ
Van > Chi
WEST Final: Van > Det
EAST QF
Pit > Ott
Was > Mon
NJ > Phi
Buf > Bos
EAST SF
Pit > Was
Buf > NJ
EAST: Pit > Buf
CUP FINAL: Vancouver over Pittsburgh
/not wanting to click “POST” but I guess I have to…

Even later
Det over Yotes
Col over SJ
Chi over Preds
LA over Van
Chi over Col
Det over LA
Chi over Det
EAST
Ott over Pit
Wash over Mon
NJ over Philly
Bos over Buff
Wash over Bos
NJ over Ott
Wash over NJ
Wash over Hawks in final. 3 in a row for Hossa.
Just predicting based on my post season gambling.
Oldest, but whatever
Detroit over Phoenix
San Jose over Colorado
Chicago over Nashville
Vancouver over LA
Chicago over Detroit
San Jose over Vancouver
Chicago over San Jose
Pitt over Ottawa
Washington over Montreal
Devils over Flyers
Buffalo over Boston
Washington over Pitt
Buffalo over Jerz
Buffalo over Washington
Chicago over Buffalo

Great job, Habs! By the way, I did pick the Bruins, too, but you counted it anyway – 6 is correct. I fear I will struggle down the stretch, though. I’ll miss the Devils who I picked to win the conference and additionally had the Predators not only over the Blackhawks but advancing to the Conference final…
2nd Round on
Pens over Canadians
Bruins over Flyers
Sharks over Wings
Hawks over Nucks
Bruins over Pens
Sharks over Hawks
Sharks over Bruins
That would be a cool final — hey wait, remember when that was supposed to be last year’s final (I think SJ and Bos met in mid-season 2008-09 with each leading their conferences, and there was much hype).
What shape will Marc Savard be in when he returns, I wonder…

1979-80
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.
1981-82
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
