The regular season ended with some excitement. I don't know if it's foreshadowing of things to come during the Stanley Cup run, but the leagues most exciting player was left out of headlines - and the hardware.
Sidney Crosby had a five point night and beat Alexander Ovechkin for the goal scoring title with 51 mesh ripplers to Ovi's 50. Henrik Sedin recorded a 4 point night and blew past Ovechkin to win the overall points title by 3 points. So unless he's a finalist for the Lady Bing (unlikely) he has only Lord Stanley's mug to chase
And according to everyone at my draft, he has a decent chance. 4/15 of the first rounders were Capitals, and despite his disappointing finish, Alex the Great went 1st overall.
And speaking of first overall, Redlight Rosie won our first ever Owner's Challenge and will be receiving a $100 gift certificate from shop.nhl.com. The owner's challenge was a hockey pool consisting of administrators of our regular season pools. We won't be running an owners challenge for the playoffs but look for one next regular season. We are hoping to have more sponsors and more prizes.
Good luck in your playoff pools!
