If we had made it past the Lightning that's a strong case to win the pool outright. Very decent depth contribution from Backes and Kevan Miller.

Now up to Ekholm and Johansen...

yeah they liked our Bergeron and Rask picks, and Bruins generally early on

but that's poolin' for ya

Our illustrious leader needs to phone in and give them the Oh no you didant. followed by an strong and rowdy Papa don't preach.

Not sure why you guys would be called out, there are a lot worse options than picking up a bunch of Bruins. They were good enough to win it all this year, it just didn't happen. Just the way playoff pools go.

I guess it was more of a shout-out than a call-out.

Lightning had some question marks going into the playoffs (Vasilevkiy struggled down the stretch) and the Bruins looked like the safer bet. If the Bruins could have avoided the Leafs n the first round I feel things could have been different but they just looked a step behind the Lightning. Going heavy on Capitals has never been a recipe for playoff pool success but this looks like a year it may finally pay off.

I thought you guys did well. Gambled on the single team and lost. Can't blame you for going hard with Bruins.

I also think that part of our discussion was that first round matchup between the Bruins and the Leafs bad blueline, I think we expected to harvest a lot of points in the first round.
