You were the only one that picked the Coilers to win. If the Rangers lose I don't think I can win.

Tampa won so if the Coilers win, PlayfulGenius will only force a tiebreak and then we'll see.

Cheerio is up 2-1 on Moe (needs one of Colorado or LA to win)

3thirty has beaten Hockey with wins from Ottawa and Florida

[GirlySports]

Colorado wins in OT, Cheerio advances. He's on fire!

How does the tie-breaker work? I know its the number of correct margins of victory, but does it only count when we picked the correct team with the margin?

Ex. If I picked St Louis to beat Tampa by 2 goals... and Tampa wins by 2, do I get a point in the tie-break?

[GirlySports]

It only counts if you pick the correct team

Semifinal Differences



You guys are starting to think too much alike.

TWO differences in the CofR-Cheerio game.

ONE difference in the PlayfulGenius-3thirty game!

Rangers vs Jets for a place in the finals.
