How do you play hockey in a pool?
I'm confused. |

I wouldn't take Sundin, I don't think.
Depends who you think will go far. I think Washington, Pittsburgh, Detroit and San Jose are going to do well, so I'd load up on players from those teams. And then I'd take some Chicago, Calgary, Philly and Boston too. Soooo, quick list: Ovechkin (WAS) Backstrom (WAS) Green (WAS) Malkin (PIT) Crosby (PIT) Kunitz (PIT) Zetterberg (DET) Franzen (DET) Datsyuk (DET) Setoguchi (SJ) Thornton (SJ) Marleau (SJ) Savard (BOS) Ryder (BOS) Carter (PHI) Richards (PHI) Toews (CHI) Kane (CHI) Iginla (CAL) Jokinen (CAL) Then ten bonus players! H. Sedin (VAN) Drury (NYR) Hossa (DET) Semin (WAS) Guerin (PIT) Nash (COL) Gagne (PHI) Kovalev (MTL) Cheechoo (SJ) (I know, makes no sense, but I love him) Cammalleri (CAL) Mind you, it took me less than five minutes to type that out, and I didn't consult any stats. So it's worth less than the pixels it's typed on. |

Do NOT take Sundin. Ever. He is the biggest waste of time and talent in the NHL.
Mountie's list looks good. I'd go with it. |

How many points do you get for 'Minutes Spent Skating Around Without Generating Any Other Stat'?

If you think about it, hockey isn't that much different from figure skating.

hwamf actually gives good advice. I still like my top twenty, but I'd wait for the matchups to be established.

You wanna split on a ticket mountie?
We can put it in my name because only Albertonians (I totally made that word up) can enter. I'll give you your half if we win, honest injun *halo* |

Yes, there are 6 teams on that list that won't make the playoffs, so definitely wait.

I'm slightly disappointed in mountie in this thread.
Peppers, not so much. |

Last hockey pool I did, I won fuck all.
It really is like the lottery. Pick top half and random for the rest. Good luck! Oh, and Mountie > all |
