The Sports Talk Playoff Pool: NHL 2014 Rosters

By Hockey Guru
For those that have not participated before, and for those that have but have lost brain cells since the
last STP playoff pool -

Each team will pick a roster of 12 Forwards (4 RW, 4 C, 4LW), 6 Defensemen, 2 Goaltenders and 4 Bench spots.

Everybody must select one player from each playoff team (positions based on Yahoo eligibility).

Players on your bench can be activated after each round.

It will be a total points pool for the duration of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. To make it more complicated - but to increase your viewing experience - we're trying no point modifiers and categories...

Goals = 4 points
Assists = 2 points
OT Goals = 2 Bonus Points
Game Wining Goals = 1 Bonus Point
Power Play Points = 1 bonus point
Short Handed Points = 3 bonus points
Shots on Goal = 0.25 per shot on goal
Penalty Minutes = -0.5 per PIM (penalties will be a negative in this pool)
Plus/Minus = 1 bonus point per plus/negative 1 for a minus

Goalie Wins = 6 pts
Goalie Saves = 0.25 pts
Goalie GA = -2.25 pts

There is no restriction as to who can be on the bench in Round 1 (i.e. if you think Team X will be swept - your selection from that team can be on the bench; if you are bullish on a Team Y - you could have up to 9 players in your lineup from that team in Round 1...)
