Woke up this morning to 6" of fresh white powder here in the Colorado mountains, with another 6" predicted for the first day of fall. The ponds won't freeze for another two months but hockey's right around the corner. I don't know what you all have done in the past on this site for predicting the Cup winner but here's my suggestion as I sit at the computer and look out at the snow.
Pick the Following:
Cup Winner - 9 points
2 Conference Final Winners - 5 points each
4 teams in Conference Finals - 3 points each
6 Regular Season Division Winners - 2 points each
Presidents Cup (Most Regular Season Points) - 1 point
Olympic Gold - 3 points
Olympic Silver - 2 points
Olympic Bronze - 1 point
Tie Breaker- How many points will the Colorado Avalanche get this year? (Those answers may be hard for me to read)
Total Possible 50 points
Winner receives bragging rights and prize valued at less than $20 of my decision, maybe hat of favorite team or Hip Cd of winners choice!
Predictions need to be in by the time the puck drops on October 1 - Good Luck
