Now that the regular season has ended for all conferences, here is Part 2 of
the Pick the Post-season Tourneys entry form.  This part includes the Hockey
East and WCHA tournaments.  The Maine-UMass Lowell quarterfinal series starts
Thursday, March 14th at 7:00 PM EDT, so the deadline for this part is 6:00 PM
EDT Thursday, March 14th.

Fill in your predicted winners for each first round/quarterfinal series.  Also
fill in the number of games (2 or 3) you expect to be played in the series.

For the play-in games, semifinals, and championships, fill in the teams you
predict will be playing as well as your predicted winners.  MAKE SURE YOUR
SEEDINGS/MATCHUPS ARE CORRECT!  Hockey East reseeds before the semis.  The
WCHA reseeds before the play-in games but uses brackets for the semis; thus,
the winner of the 3-6 play-in will face #2 in the semis, while the 4-5 winner
will play the #1 seed.  Impossible matchups will be given zero points, unless
I can get a correction from you before the deadline.

Don't forget to fill in the tiebreakers!  Tiebreaker #1 is your predicted
score in the championship game; tiebreaker #2 is your predicted total goals
scored in that tournament.

If you don't want to do predictions for one or more tournaments, just leave
it/them blank.

Return your completed form to [log in to unmask] .  (REPLY in your mailer
MAY NOT WORK -- check to be sure)

Good luck!
