Hockey Pool, Week 25

Well, with two weeks remaining, it just got very interesting! My goalie-fu deserted me last week, and ditching Malkin after his disappointing week 24 proved to be a big mistake as his points contributed to excellent week 25 scores for Ricardipus and Modscientist:

At the end of week 25 I was just clinging onto the lead by the skin of my teeth, but things have changed since and anyone in the top three (four???) can still take those coveted bragging rights!

Lavaland and ScientistMother also had excellent weeks, with the latter leapfrogging Gerty to take fifth spot. There were no changes as the efficient end of the pool; the order of the bottom four looks unlikely to change in the next couple of weeks.

Many thanks to Ricardipus, Gerty, and Beth for the last few updates! ScientistMother will post the next one, then I’ll bring it home with the final regular season update in two weeks time (if I’m not sobbing too much at coming in fourth after leading for so long and/or the Canucks going out in the first round of the playoffs…)

Who’s up for a playoff pool?!

    If I join the playoff pool, am I allowed to be just as delinquent on making my pics as I have in the regular season?

    d’oh! and i finally drop behind SM. ๐Ÿ™ since i didn’t get my picks in this week i bet that doesn’t get better. count me in for the playoffs–someone needs to set the low bar!

    I’m in for a playoff pool!!! It can’t be worse than “less than a third of Ricardipus’ points for the week”.

    I’m sulking ๐Ÿ™

    Ha ha! My cunning plan is working – fall behind and then make a huge leap forward in the last two months.

    BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! YOU MORTALS CANNOT STOP ME NOW! KNEEL BEFORE ME AND ADMIT TO YOUR WORTHLESSNESS. SCUM, BOW DOWN TO YOUR MASTER!

      haha, if you’d started moving forward a few weeks back maybe ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Good luck with the top fight. I’ll stay safe in my ‘middley’ spot, not dead last (please let it stay that way) and not in top… just average. duh.

      ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Beth, of course! Anything that gives me a better chance of winning is A-OK!

    Gerty, you had a good run! But forgetting to make picks definitely doesn’t help ๐Ÿ™‚

    Chall, I’m sulking a wee bit too, after looking at today’s rankings rather than Friday’s….

    Bob: weeks. Two WEEKS. As in 14 days. Aren’t you supposed to be good at sums?

  6. How is that January screwed me so badly?!! I was doing so well for so long and now I’m all by my lonesome in 5th. stupid hockey. yes i’ll do a playoff one. why not?

  7. Cath@VWXYNot? says:

    LOL – that sums up sports fans very nicely.

    “STUPID HOCKEY! BUT YAY, PLAYOFFS!”

  8. I think that may be the only week all year I’ve actually led the points. Yay me.

    Also, as of today, I AM TEH WINNINGNESSNESSWOOTYWOOT!!!*

    *Plz to note this will no longer be true tomorrow.
