+kini_ont Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I was once a huge hockey fan, not sure why but it faded as I grew older till this year. Maybe it’s the pandemic and tv binge watching or the Leafs vs Habs in the first round of the playoffs. Does not matter I thought it has been a while since we’ve had a geocoin contest so here we go. Pick a team to win Lord Stanley’s Cup (I’ve included a bracket, so you’ll know who to choose from) no hockey knowledge necessary. Make a pick (only 1 allowed per geocacher, anymore then your first is disqualified, so Octomom could not choose for each child unless each is a cacher and individually picks and posts their pick). Cut-off time to make a pick is May 21, 2021 8 pm EDT. At the end of the Stanley Cup finals from all the names who have chosen the winning team, one will be drawn to win a trackable geocoin (my choosing) and possibly secondary prizes (my choosing possibly). This contest is for fun! So, any disagreements or rule interpretations will be ruled by me and only me (my game, my coins, my rules). 3 Quote

+mel-whv Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Maybe you guys laugh about me - I take Montreal! Got absolutely no idea of that....but maybe I'm lucky to win a coin ;-) 1 1 1 Quote
+GeoCharmer81 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks for the Cointest!!! I'll pick Tampa Bay. My parents lived in TB area for decades. 1 Quote
+kikonan Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I like this. I am free of any knowledge about chances of particular teams. I choose Florida, as Radko Gudas plays there (I had to google that). He is the son in law of my Czech friends. It could be a good reason to pick this team. 1 Quote
+Rikitan Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 A shout for (one of) my good old friend. For newbies - Colorado Great contest, thumbs up! 1 1 Quote
+Hid3 & S33k3r Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) New York Islanders Trotz and his defensive system Edited May 14, 2021 by Hid3 & S33k3r misspell 1 Quote
+Monk-E Arms Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I choose the Blues. I don't actually think they will hoist the Cup for their second time in franchise history. However, if I DON'T choose them and they succeed, I'll regret it. There aren't any other teams I'd regret not choosing if they won. My wife and I got to see the Cup last time the Blues won. So that was cool. 2 Quote

+steben6 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I will play along and pick Colorado. I don't know anything about hockey, but my niece is completely obsessed with the AVs, so I'll support that! 1 Quote
+remman Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 aka- remman Tampa Bay Lightening is my choice! 1 Quote
+RosencrantzG Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Not necessarily my first choice but the Decision Wheel says Carolina Hurricanes. 1 Quote
Darwin473 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I know nothing about hockey, so my pick is pure guesswork - I'll throw my name onto Washington because it's one of the few names I recognise and New York has already been picked by someone. I'm in Australia and postage is killer, so on the off chance I won, I'd be happy with just the TB code and activation code, and you can keep the physical TB. I only send proxies out and that would work out well if you had a physical TB you liked and had no intention of sending out into the wilds. Brilliant idea for a contest, thank you for putting it on. Good luck to everyone, and hopefully the players are injury free this season. 1 1 Quote
+jennabel.jams Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Toronto! Because ... It's Toronto and they need the Cup. 😄 What a fun idea!! Thanks for running this!! 1 Quote
+mischiefmonster Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Since I know nothing about hockey, I had to ask my all knowing sports fan hubby who he would pick....Colorado it is! 1 Quote

+Pteropus Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 COLORADO AVALANCHE! I've been a fan for 30 years+ but since the day Joe Sakic let Ray Bourque lift the Cup it's love. 1 Quote
+Mountian Goat Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Colorado from the decision wheel and a recommendation from a friend.... When they both lined up it must be a sure thing lol 1 Quote
+Simrebel Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I have to pick the Leafs because I am a fan although I can't predict how well they will do 1 Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Nothing good has ever has come out of the state of Minnesota, so that's who I'm going with - The state can't seem to come up with a Super Bowl trophy, so maybe Lord Stanley will grace them with a Cup! My Pick: Minnesota for the win. 1 Quote
+Double_Helix Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I consulted an expert on this (my kid). He advised me to pick Toronto “because they’re stacked right now”. However he chose a different team for his guess (made from his own geocaching account), so maybe he’s trying to eliminate the competition? 🤔 1 Quote
+kini_ont Posted May 22, 2021 Author Posted May 22, 2021 Ok now on to the elimination good luck all! Quote
Darwin473 Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Washington knocked out in first round by Boston. That's me out! Good luck to everyone else! 1 Quote
+kini_ont Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 Montreal is the first team to advance to the next round! 1 Quote
Darwin473 Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Is there an updated chart similar to the one in the first post showing the current standings? Or am I being premature, with Montreal being the first to advance? (I have no clue how this game works, other than it involves ice and hitting people with sticks.) Quote
+kini_ont Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Still three series to determine so yes a bit early to update the bracket Quote
+kini_ont Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Getting closer we have Montreal, Tampa, New York Islanders in. Quote

+kini_ont Posted June 25, 2021 Author Posted June 25, 2021 The first team in the finals has been established. congratulations to Montreal- Vegas looks to next year but it was a great series 1 Quote
