Before the playoffs, five of us at TheHockeyNews.com did a playoff pool draft, which you can find here: 

As a refresher, goals and assists are each worth a point, goalie wins are worth two points, and a shutout is worth an extra point.

Here are the standings ahead of the action on May 4:

1. Michael Traikos, 41 points

2. Jonathan Tovell, 35 points

T-3. Adam Proteau, 33 points

T-3. Ryan Kennedy, 33 points

5. Frank Zawrazky, 26 points

It will be interesting to see how the standings change in the next couple of days. Now that the first round is over, the first batch of players are eliminated. For one of these teams (check the rosters in the original article and find out who), all their players were eliminated.
