The Leaderboard

It is with great honor that I post the scores from the opening round of the HBIC Playoff Pool. I will say that there were some excellent entries as some entrants opened their playoffs with a huge push forward. However, like any race, it's not how you start, but how you finish. There are still three rounds of hockey to be played, so buckle up and get your thinking caps on because no one is out until the Stanley Cup is awarded. In saying that, let's take a look at the leaderboard for the HBIC Playoff Pool!

41. Roy M. (STL) - 24

If you notice above, there are a number of people's names listed in bolded orange. The "NT" in the parentheses means you didn't pick a tie-breaker team. I'd suggest you do that before the next round starts. Otherwise, that NT will live on forever beside your name. Or at least until this pool ends.

If you have questions about the scoring or you think there is a mistake, email me immediately. I want to make sure this is accurate for everyone because there are prizes available for the top-ten finishers.

This leaderboard will be used throughout the playoffs, so favorite it and I'll keep updating it!

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
