Swamp NHL Playoff Pool 2021

[degenerasian]

I may lose my entire team in the next few days.

Travzilla...will you post an announcement when we have our replace 3 player window?

[travzilla]

From Tuesday... lots of people lost Hurricanes.




Here's what I'm thinking for the halfway roster update:

You pick two new players to add. You still cannot exceed 3 players per team, taking into account your original 14 plus the new two (so if you drafted 3 Lightning, you couldn't take any more with your two additions).
For the two players you add, you don't get their round 1&2 points, only what they accumulate going forward.
You don't drop anyone from your roster, so you don't lose any points.

View your current roster and available players by using the tabs at the bottom of the pool spreadsheet.

PM me your two new players anytime from now until they play their first round 3 game.

BSF comes out of the Bruins bloodbath in decent shape. still a top four separated from a good mid-table battle.



Round 2 could end tonight, which would probably mean Round 3 starting Saturday. Reminder to PM me you two player adds before those players start their third round. I've got Degen and govmentchedda so far.

[travzilla]

Here's the standings going into round 3. Bit of a blood bath this year with not many people picking Islanders or Canadiens.



I have got the two player adds from everyone so far except Giff, Jerloma, and Max. (You three can still send them to me up to tonight, or tomorrow if they're Knights or Habs).
I'll do all the roster adds this afternoon.

Rosters and standings updated with new players.

[travzilla]

wlu-lax keeps rolling, BSF coming back with Lightning tonight.

[BSF21]

Gonna be a fun fight to the finish. Would have been cool for a forward to get involved in the scoring for VGK last night...

[Giff]

I missed the swap, but I was way out of it anyway.

[wlu_lax6]

so you think my 5 minutes to pick the team model and add 2 players left who have scored the most on other teams is the winning game plan?

So, if a team wants to shut down an opposing player, all they have to do is make sure I draft him.

[travzilla]

Missed an update yesterday so this is tues/wed night combined

[travzilla]

After game 3s

[BSF21]

I don't have the right degree for this kind of math...

[travzilla]

Update after last three nights (NYI 3-2, VGK 2-1, TBL 8-0)

[travzilla]

BSF still tops, wlu-lax in striking distance

[wlu_lax6]

So does the game 7 become the big decider of who takes home the crown?

[BSF21]

Been a fun ride. Would have put 200$ in my pocket for correct series prediction had Tampa not shit themselves last night.

I think Vegas is cooked.

[travzilla]

Here it is heading into the finals. Habs a bit of a pool buster but BSF and wlu going head to head with different Lightning.



And if BSF's buddy had actually picked a full roster he's probably comfortably out in front :)

[travzilla]

Update after games 1 and 2

[travzilla]

Congrats BSF, 2021 champion!



also hat tip to his batman friend who schooled half of us despite only picking 10 players

[wlu_lax6]

Thanks for ruining this Trav.

[travzilla]

Thanks for ruining this Trav.

Harsh but fair :)

[wlu_lax6]

Thanks for ruining this Trav.

Harsh but fair :)

a solid wlu_lax right there. That one I can actively blame on the swipe dashboard on the phone. Much appreciated.

[govmentchedda]

His highest compliment.

Thanks, Trav.

[Ryan]

Yep, look forward to it every year. Thanks.

[BSF21]

Please send winnings/large drinking vessel to:

BSF
Indianapolis, IN 46....


Seriously thanks Trav, this is my favorite fantasy pool of the year every year. Who knew you could win it by picking the best players on the best team? Did anyone else try that?
