It has taken me some time to put this together, but I was finally able to run some queries to tally up stats for the hockey pool. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions as to the good, bad and ugly from these numbers as of today.
Note the Round 2 stats add to 200% because there are two, Round 2 matches and two, Round 2 winners per entry. You can read it as, for example, 51 entries (82.3%) picked the Boston Bruins to win a Round 2 series.
All players picked 5 or more times are shown. Only 46 unique players were selected across all 62 entries.

wow 61.3% ovechkin?! even though i picked the caps in the first round, i’d love nothing more than to see them lose right now
Look at all the people taking SJ too and looks like they are gonna be done !!!
I saw yesterday on ESPN that Joe Thornton hasn’t scored a goal in 9 straight playoff games. Whoops. Make that 10.
JoeT, making up for it tonight!
