NN Hockey Pool Update: It's Been A While

Jonathan Willis
February 01 2012 10:30PM

Well, it's been a while. Between zipping down to Edmonton/Calgary for the World Juniors and a host of other things, it's been better than a month since we've checked in on the Nation Network Hockey Pool. As it turns out, a lot can happen in that amount of time.

The original entries and rules are here. Scoring is as laid out in the original post, with one exception: goaltenders grades are adjusted to reflect the length of the season (since unlike skaters, who are graded on cumulative things like goals and points, goalies are judged primarily on their average save percentage).

I didn't move a single spot. Do I win some sort of camping trophy?

On top with nowhere to go but down, just like the Oil. Wait, this isn't 1988? I'm still in the Federal League though,right?

I am going in the wrong direction. I was so close to dead last and now I am just a middle dweller who won't get a top 5 draft pick and will still miss the playoffs.

Alright, I made the Movers & Shakers list! Making my late-season charge to finish above #200 and out of the draft lottery!

I keep making ground every time, which is great, but I think I am limited in how high I can end up thanks to 3 goalies (Miller, Bryz, Hiller). Oh well, hopefully I'll break into the top 50 by seasons end.
