There are a ton of other things that factor into picks but like I said if I am in doubt I look to see who is leading and copy their picks so they cant gain any ground on me
    I don't really like any of this. It's not true that 9 times out of 10 a team is down 3-0 wins game 4, let alone game 5.

    same with lower seed/higher seed

    and finally, copying the leader's picks is not going to help you win

    never said it would help you win its just what i do when i dont know who to pick and its funny when ever i pick the sweep the team down 3-0 wins and when ever i pick against the lower seed to tie the series at home they win. so i guess im damned if i do damned if i dont.

    fair enough you do whatever you like just saying that while this year it happened that both teams down 3-0 won it's not like it happens an overwhelming majority of times

    Still alive, but just barely. I shouldn't have kept picking those loser Penguins. Tonight's the night Sissy Crosby gets shut down.

    But we won't give up without a fight

    I even managed to win two years in a row (though the 2nd time was a tie), but since then it's gone from bad to worse. I've lost my touch!
    Or maybe I just had loads of luck the first two times

    Oh well, it's far from over yet. Many games to be played and loads of points to gain. And seeing as it seems like this years games can go either way there are still a chance that the ones in the top of the NHL Brain Game can drop points at any point.

    So let's keep fighting. Let's reach the top!
