Bracket Challenge
It has been awhile sports fans, but this year I'm bringing the bracket challenge back. I'm juggling BTT publication, ongoing writing projects, and my new part-time job cooing utter nonsense at a baby, so this year there will only be one grand prize, a 1000+ word prompt, for whomever guesses the Stanley Cup Winning Team*
But it's always been a lot of fun to see who everyone picks to win it all, so here it is. I'll share the results with everyone at the end of each playoff round.
Teams have been randomised in the poll so as not to unduly bias anyone. If you're hesitant to vote because you don't know anything about hockey/the NHL, please know that picking by favourite name, team logo, or pure random chance is honestly likely to be just as accurate as most hockey insiders' predictions. Playoff hockey is many things, but it's rarely predictable, and I highly doubt this will be the year that changes.
I'm posting at this late hour because it's a pretty short window between the regular season and the start of the playoffs: You have until Saturday at 5 eastern to make your predictions. I'll reblog this at a more sensible time** tomorrow.
*random number generator will be the decider if multiple people are correct, which will almost certainly be the case.
**more sensible time eastern. I am sure your time is perfectly sensible.
Point system: six for correct cup winner Four for correct semi-finals winner Three for each correct number of games Two for correct Ilana K
because i can't help myself, here's a pwhl playoffs bracket challenge!

a/n: doing this again this year because it’s always a fun way for everyone on hockeyblr/bruinsblr to interact with each other! (also, I just really like doing brackets lmfao.)
this isn’t team-specific, so everyone is welcome (as long as you follow the username format listed below). i do believe that you need an NHL account to join, but it’s super easy to make one and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. and if you aren’t able to make an account, you can always make a bracket online (or manually here on tumblr) and reblog this post with a picture of it! so please join if you can, the more the merrier! happy playoffs y’all <3

I have like 7 followers, so if you have more reach than I do, please reblog! Whoever wins gets bragging rights as the best NCAA WBB fan on Tumblr (or something).
it’s official: I have absolutely excelled myself!
one team confirmed for the 2nd round and my bracket is already dead - it’s a new record for me!
An FYI, as I've had a few asks about it - I'm not running a playoff bracket challenge this year, sorry!
