We have an official winner in our 2015 NHL Playoffs pool

Congratulations to Chicago Blackhawks for being the 2015 Stanley Cup champions!

Now that the Stanley Cup is won, we also have the official winner to TEAM ECL's 2015 NHL Playoffs pool.

IA is our winner!!!

Hope you all had fun following along and will join us again next year!

Pool update after Game 4 in the Finals

OK... no chart needed at this point when it's down to 2 entries.  Series is now tied 2-2.  If Tampa takes the next 2 games, it's tie-breaker time for our pool!!!

Pool update after end of Conference Finals

Wow!!  After both Conference Finals going all the way to 7 games, our pool ranking now has a very different look!!!

We have a new leader: IA.  He is ALMOST declared winner but there is just one other entry (HA) that can still take this all the way to the tie-breaker!  If Tampa Bay wins the Cup in 6 games, we will be going to the tie-breaker rule.  With any other outcome (including Tampa Bay winning BUT not in 6 games), IA will win our pool!

To be honest everyone, this is by far the closest and furtherest I have ever followed the Stanley Cup playoffs when the Canucks are already eliminated... I may just make this an annual charity playoffs pool so I continue to soak up the playoffs excitement while raising fund for a cause close to heart :)

Pool update after May 27 game

Wow!!!  Both conference finals are going to be decided in game 7!!  I hope after these the Stanley Cup final round won't end up in a sweep :p

Pool update after May 22 game

Rangers tied the series right back up!!  This is probably going to go all the way to 7 games!!!

Let's see if the Blackhawks are able to tie their series up too tomorrow!
