The Swamp

Back again for 2025, its the Swamp NHL Playoff Challenge!

Rules:

- Players are ranked by regular-season Points Per Game, then divided into 10 groups. Each group has a different "multiplier" to alter the value of the goals and assists those players score in the playoffs. This levels the playing field between the very best players (group 1) through to the depth guys (group 10).
-For example: Connor McDavid (group 1) gets 1 point per goal/assist, while Zach Hyman (group 10) earns 2.8 points per goal/assist.

- There is also a TEAM group where you select 2 teams, which also earn points (3 for a win, -1 for a loss)

- Overtime goals are worth double points

- Between round 2 and 3, you can drop up to 2 eliminated players for 2 new ones. (you keep your dropped player's points, and only add points going forward from the new player).

TO ENTER:

Select 14 PLAYERS (with a maximum of 3 from any single NHL team), and 2 TEAMS from the list below.
**note: you don't need to pick one player from each group, the groups only exist to level out the points value**

Picks can be sent by PM here, or email: travzilla3000 <at> hotmail.com

DEADLINE: Since I'm late getting this posted, lets say I'll take any entries up until Tuesday afternoon, though the sooner the better.

You left players from the Penguins out again

Yeah but they're worth 2.8 per point!

Are you putting a tariff on entry fees from the USA?

Just sent my entry. This time I picked a lot more "depth"-type players than I usually do.

Mine is in. When I saved my picks into my Dropbox, I found my list from the last time I played - 2015

Last chance for anyone else wanting to send in an entry... do it before tonight's games start and I'll add you in.

I'll post rosters and updates tonight. Received entries from:

I didn’t know that fucking Vilardi is injured !

Why is the TBL/FLA series just starting when most of them are two games in?

No clue. The building wasn't occupied.

For a second there, I thought you cut and pasted my post from a couple days ago.

ROSTERS





I sent an email to people who took Gabe Vilardi... I forgot to mark that he was injured on the player list... Still practicing in a non-contact jersey but also made the trip to St. Louis, so could be back soon or could be weeks away. If any of you want to swap him out you can.
