Boy did I luck out. I didn't get the VAN beating CHI part but the Toews pick was gold.

Montreal kinda messed up my plan. It was going to be SJ for round 3 & PIT for the finals. It didn't change my pick selection but does leave me with my last pick - Joe Thornton (F) - SJ

I would also like to thank HIL for a fun pool. I've done the eliminate pool with 1 player per team but the positional requirements made it a little more challenging as did the playoff participation. Great job. Can't wait 'til next year.

the second round has ended; at least in the respect that any players selected have finished out their series.

Only WhatThePuck? and Rad64 have selections left for round three; the rest of us will have to watch and wonder what may have been.

Good luck in the third, and final round!

Gents,

Thanks to one and all for participating in the inaugural running of "hockeyislife's NHL Weekly Challenge Pool", and for making it a successful one.

Congratulations to this years champion, WhatThePuck? !!

Looking forward to competing with all of you again next season; I'm sure WhatThePuck? will be more than up for the challenge of defending his championship.

Have a great off-season, because before you know it the new season will be upon us.

[insert typical feel good humble remarks] Thanks. I have to say it was a very enjoyable pool. Including the Olympics & playoffs with positional requirements was a unique challenge. [end typical feel good humble remarks]

[insert trash talk & tell everyone how you really feel because you won] Just another trophy for the mantle. I guess I will have to build that addition to hold all my fantasy awards. lol.

I don't think there was any doubt in anyone's mind that the Puck would end up on top in the end. I will throw down the gauntlet early & say it won't be difficult defending my title next year with such a sorry field of competitors. lol [end trash talk & tell everyone how you really feel because you won]

Thanks again to hockeyislife for putting a great pool together. In addition to the solid knowledge base of the Dobber community pools like this makes this site that much more enjoyable. Kudos to you
