Name yet to be picked, but paid for...

The most popular picks from the sign-up sheet are:
Jarome Iginla, Miikka Kiprusoff and Dany Heatley... appearing on 75% of the sheets so far. Yes, 3 of the 4 sheets submitted so far.

Also, 3 of the 4 sign-up sheets have been filled out incorrectly and still need to be corrected. Remember... 12 Forwards, 8 Defense, 2 Goalies... no more than 3 players from any one team. Is that so hard?

14 days until the deadline... sign up soon!!

The Playoff Pool is Live!

You read it right... the Playoff Pool has now gone live. You can e-mail me for a pool sheet at opiated@telus.net, and I will give you instructions on how to enter.

For those in the Wildfire Hockey Pool... sheets will be made available on Saturday the 8th, as I am hoping that everyone will come by and have a beer and talk some hockey.

The brief amount of rules are posted on the side here.

There will be 22 players picked... 12 forwards, 8 defensement and 2 goaltenders. But remember, you can only have a maximum of 3 players from any one team... so you'll have to pick players from at least 8 teams. So, it has been made to be a little more difficult.

Some of your players will be eliminated quite early, so you'll have to choose the guys that will be making it to at least the second round of the playoffs, instead of losing them in the first round.

Who's gonna make it all the way??

Are you gonna take those team's goaltenders or all three of their top scorers?

Will Jose Theodore or Dominik Hasek join their respective teams and lead them to a Cup??

Will the Canucks get their heads out of their asses and make the playoffs?

All the questions will be answered in time... but can you predict the outcome?
