[flexmaster33]

We are moving this weekend, so I'm in internet limbo for a few days...I may squeeze in one more update late tonight, but it will be pretty sparse until we get internet hooked up at the new house early next week.

thanks for understanding, flex

[flexmaster33]

Bracket and scoreboard has been updated...fresh games sent out.

Congrats to Colorado for advancing to the finals in the West (with a sweep...no less) and to Montreal for winning a tough 2nd round series to make the Eastern finals.

I agree, ever since Philly won the cup in the 70's it smells.

We made it a lot longer than I expected. Great job Flexmaster on the setup.

[flexmaster33]

thanks asuman...and well played.
Looking at ranks at sign-ups I expected you guys to be first-round casualties, but you proved me way wrong

Philadelphia rocks!!!! And smells really well

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying Philadelphia smells. I was saying that the cup does, ever since Philly won it.

Hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings.

[RedBaron0]

No worries... Anyone for a game 7?!

[flexmaster33]

Game 7 in the Eastern Finals has been sent out...Chicago will know who it's playing very soon

[amazzony]

No worries... Anyone for a game 7?!

Oh yeah

notyou2 , don't worry. When Baron don't mind then I don't mind either

[flexmaster33]

Chicago takes the first two in the Stanley Cups finals...games 3 & 4 going out now.

[flexmaster33]

Philly stays in the series with a 4-2 win in Game 3, but Chicago moves on the verge of hoisting the Cup with a 6-0 win in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the Finals.

Goalies are split in Game 5, so still anyone's game. good luck, all.

[amazzony]

Seems to be over.

[flexmaster33]

Just like in the real NHL playoffs...the Chicago Blackhawks are our winners...congrats to forward HighlanderAttack and goaltender olkok on a fine tournament. Chicago went a combined 16-4 (.800) in its four playoff series, picking up a pair of sweeps along the way.

Thanks to all who played and keep looking for my sports-themed tourneys...NFL season and NCAA college hoops ahead.

[jrh_cardinal]

[flexmaster33]
