So you're saying our bracket challenge at NHL.com is the exact same one we do here?? Then we're not even doing one here but only there.

Why not do a separate one here?

Ah yes, I remember the switchover to nhl.com made it a hassle for those of us without nhl.com accounts. Ergo I will be foregoing the playoff challenge again.

What's the difference?
It's a private league there. What does it matter if it's hosted here or there?
Quite honestly, when I did it myself here, it was a lot of (Franking) work. And the nhl.com game is very close to what we used to do. Seems silly to try to reinvent the wheel when all of the heavy lifting is done by nhl.com.
Would it help if I put a link to the contest in an iframe so it has our site's template around it? :lol:

Just out of curiosity...what is the problem with creating an nhl.com account?

How do we join your private league? Can you please post a link?

I simply meant we could all list here who would win the 8 1st round series and in how many games. That wouldn't take any work on your part.

Click on the link provided by Cprice in the first post.
In the blue bar above the bracket, click on the link that says "Leagues."
Run a search for 2014 LetsGoBlues- it should show up as 2014 LetsGoBlues.com Playoff Challenge. Click on the link to the league.
Enter the password as provided by Cprice above.
Log in to NHL.com if you haven't already.
You may need to re-search for the private league and enter the password again (I had to).
Create a name for the playoff challenge (Curt requests you use your same username as the forum here so everyone can tell who is whom).
Make your picks and submit!

I got a message from NHL.com that 68% of fans pick the Hawks to win.

Someone stole my name :aaaa:

Could not register as jaykay, since the name already has been taken by someone (my guess is sseagle :D), so I'm in as jaykay-ch

FYI, "ch" stands for switzerland, not sweden ;) :okman:

I apparently think the Flyers are good. It is Blues-Flyers SCF for me.

Works for me on two fronts #1 being that the Blues escape rd 1 and probably end up 100% healthy for all subsequent rounds and #2 being that the Rangers lose in rd 1 which makes me equally happy.

Good. Let's surprise everyone.

I didn't play this year. Therefore, I will not jinx the team. Good Luck to all!
