Eh, that wouldn't be so hard, just wonder how many people would actually bet. I think 3 or 4 people bothered to bet in the NCAA final 4 one we did.

I'll think of something, but keep the ideas coming in. Maybe i'll just wait until the 2nd round starts or something.

Might be best Jay, given the tight timeframe.
BTW, I've been trying to find a site to support on online draft for the playoffs (Yahoo doesn't have anything) - will keep you posted if I find anything. Looking for a straighforward 'pick in order' draft - no funky rules, just points and maybe goalies (1 point for a win, another 2 for shutouts). See if we can bump Beers off the hockey throne.

sorry for being a bit off topic - but for a playoff draft we could do a 'list of 40' approach, any player can be picked. We'd just have a cutoff date/time and anyone who got thier list of 40 in on time would be eligible. This way we don't need an online draft, but it won't work very well with anything less than 40 players each, otherwise there would be too many teams with the same players or only a couple different.
If you are interested, I can volunteer to compile the teams and provide stats. Probably not worth doing unless there are at least 10 of us or so.

Like the idea Klicks, but again, games start tonight... and i doubt we can get 10 people here to want to do it.

10 people here period would be difficult.

Even the owner is gone.

even though the games have started, it doesn't really matter because we all have the same opportunity to consider the games already played. Actually, it might be interesting to try even if there is only 4 or 5 of us.

i'll take my new man crush scott gomez with the first pick

LOL, wonder if the Devils fans will keep booing him - seems to motivate him to new levels. He looked like a small Joe Thornton with all those assists.
