With two conferences, Hockey East and the CHA, finishing their tournaments
last weekend, we have our first two winners in the Pick the Post-season
Tournaments Contest #1. In a pair of wild finishes, tiebreakers were
needed to decide both.
Hockey East saw a five-way tie among Patrick Lethert, Jim Dixon, Craig
Roberts, Terry Casper, and Thom Davis, with 35 points each. Patrick won
the first tiebreaker, as his predicted championship game score of 3-1 was
closer than the others.
In the CHA, Jennifer Iwen, Charlie Shub, and Mark Lewin tied with 32
points, and Jennifer took the top spot by picking the championship game
score right on the nose.
Overall, there is currently a tie for first place between Jennifer Iwen and
Charlie Shub, who each have a total of 121 points.
Scoring reminder: Three points were awarded for each correctly predicted
winner in a conference's first round/quarterfinal. An additional bonus
point was given for correctly forecasting the number of games (2 or 3) a
series would go. The bonus point did not apply to the MAAC, in which each
quarterfinal was a single game, or to the CHA, which had no quarterfinal
round.
Scoring for the rest of the contest is as follows: 4 points for
correctly picking the winnner of each play-in/5 vs. 4 game (does not apply
to the ECAC. Hockey East, or the MAAC), 8 points for correctly picking
semifinal winners, 4 points for picking the consolation winner (ECAC, CCHA,
and WCHA only), and 16 points for picking the championship game
winner.
Here is the scoring so far, overall and for each conference. Also
included are the scores for the predictions by the USCHO staff (who, it
should be pointed out, didn't have to pick all the games at once) and a
"Higher Seed" entry, showing what would have happened if the higher seed
for each game had been picked to win. Thus, in the "Higher Seed" entry,
all first-round/quarterfinal series get picked as sweeps.

LET'S GO RED!!
My wife says I pay more attention to hockey than I do to our marriage, which
is of course ridiculous... after all, we've been together for 11 seasons...
