I didn't notice that ....now I feel dumber than that guy who wanted to fight Gorges while Bouillon was off scoring.
trying to avoid the embarassment of a double post
Chris Same e-mail as Krob1000 Not the greatest computer wiz. I already forgot my picks.
Hey Chris ......can you send me my picks....I assumed it would be in my sent folder in my email or something but they are not anywhere I can find anyway. Sorry about the hassle I am not the most computer savvy guy around.
Im not gonna bother naming my picks until the deadline is over...Muahaha :-)

oh boy, sounds like fun. i finished second in my yahoo fantasy hockey playoffs, lost by one point. now i gotta make my picks here...
To everyone who asked:
Mark Streit can be either a forward or defensemen - your choice. Just make sure that you have 12 F and 6 D.
Oh... and he's the only exception. I don't think a guy like Ovechkin has logged enough minutes on the blueline to qualify.
Chris - Thanks for the clarification and thanks for setting up this wonderful thread. I can't wait for the 'older guys' on this site to kick butt with the 'young pups' who think they know everything about the Habs. Some of us are not quite ready to pass the torch just yet:-)
The Original 24 Cups
Yes, thanks Chris for clearing that up!
Good luck to one and all!
I don't think I'm in.........I'm not good at multitasking.......I need to focus 100% on the Habs during the playoffs not on individual players.....I guess I'm superstitious.
What the heck, I'm in...all this lurking might as well serve a purpose. Thanks to all involved for making this available.
Go Habs
One day... two pools completed...
I was frozen out of Habs players on the last one...
Anaheim in the West, SJ close behind...
Stewart to score 10 goals on route to a finals win.
Perhaps...
GO HABS GO!!
Aaaargh. I think I might pop!
I'm in the very same boat - man do I ever want it to be Thursday.

I'm in!
Anyone know a free on line playoff pool where you can win some prizes?
facebook does.. a huge plasma tv to the winner and tons of smaller cool prizes to round out the top 10.. free to put in your team.
Any word on how Streit will be considered? Forward, defence, both?
The league site calls him a defenceman, so I guess we ought to call him one too. Though I think the league still can't spell Kostitsyn...
www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat
same question here - i'm submitting him as a defenseman but please reject and let me know if this is not acceptable
I just entered my picks. Here's hoping they're ok.
Good luck to everyone!!
GO HABS GO!!!
