World Junior Championship – Free Pool

[reeveta]

Yeah Miked got yours. I will try to post a list of the entries I got right after the deadline so people can confirm their entries got in. Around 30 entries now.

[newellky]

this is a crazy amount compared to last year, that bein g said i remember last years as last minute so it makes sense

[doulos]

Yeah it got thrown together as a real last minute deal. I\'m looking forward to seeing who has what rosters and how we do this year. I think we\'ll see a lot of similarity but it will be those one or two unexpected guys that explode that should win this for someone.

[reeveta]

Well with the deadline passed there are 28 entries. While we thought we were joining a 9 forward league it turns out there are only 7 forward picks because everyone picked John Tavaras and Cody Hodgson. Filatov fell one pick short of joining the list.

A total of 54 players were selected from nine countries with only Kazakhstan being ignored.

I will be creating a spreadsheet to track all the entries shortly. In the meantime if you think you entered please make sure you are on the below list. If you are not please post here to let me know.

Yikes, quite the competition there, should be an interesting contest.

I almost picked a Kazakstan player just for kicks, but chickened out in the end.

[mister_mcgoo]

Off to a good start so far, I\'m really liking my picks of vanR and Bowman (2 goals each) and McCullum looked pretty solid in net

Hate to say it boys, but you\'re going dowwwwwwnnnn!

While we thought we were joining a 9 forward league it turns out there are only 7 forward picks because everyone picked John Tavaras and Cody Hodgson

That is the problem with having a pool of Dobber faithful, we all have the same pool of knowledge

[reeveta]

JVR was picked all but once too (I hadn\'t noticed before because he name was spelt wrong once). Drayson Bowman was picked only once so enjoy it.

[reeveta]

[doulos]

I chose Hickey over Ellis and Boychuk over Eberle. Those could both come back to haunt me, we\'ll see.

[InForAPenny]

I get the honour of being the only non VanRiemsdyk owner. Have both his linemates though, so fingers crossed.

[tml4everpz]

my underdog pick has already paid off with a goal ... GO OZOLINS GO :laugh:

[doulos]

Thanks for the results. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come!

[Nehithaw]

I don\'t mind the results so far.

But I think that I am already mathematically eliminated, damn Russians for cutting Maxim Mayorov.

:angry:

[littleranger]

Gahhhh I forgot to email picks!
