Stanley Cup Playoffs – Snow Pool Standings
Stanley Cup Playoffs – Snow Pool Standings
The NHL playoff season is one weekend away from having 2 final teams battle it out for the coveted Stanley Cup.
Before the weekend is over, we’ll know whether the Rangers or the Devils will face LA in the final showdown of the season.
Meanwhile in the Snow Consulting Hockey Pool, the standings have shifted to give us a new team in first place and some minor shuffling in the rest of the top 10.
The Nordiques moved into 1st place with a 7 point lead, leaving our former front-runners trailing in 2nd and 3rd.
SmashMouth Brothers and Big Al Rap fell from 2nd and 4th places respectively down to 5th and 6th this week.
Last time we recapped the standings, there were 2 teams tied for 7th place and 3 teams tied for 9th. Let’s see how they moved around this time.
Biscuitinthebasketpl fell from 7th to 9th, TeamUSI fell out of the top 10.
Joe Picks The Wings also fell out of the top 10, biscuit went from 9th to tied for 10th and wewantthecup moved up a spot to 8th place this week.
Biggest move of the week? Missy’s Puckheads were tied for 15th last time, but Missy’s Ranger love has propelled her to 7th place as of this post. Who knows what the weekend will bring; we could see the Rangers eventually take it all!
Here’s your Top Ten:
- 1st Nordiques 139
- 2nd Dilly’s Danglers 132

Hockey Playoff Pool Standings
Here are the current standings for the Snow Consulting Hockey Playoffs Pool.
We have 16 teams in the Top 15 list – lots of ties!
We have ties for 2nd place, 7th place and 15th place, PLUS a 3-way tie for 9th! There are 31 points separating the top from the bottom of that list, but it’s pretty tight between the 6th place spot and the 12th, so it looks like just about anything could happen – in the middle of the pack at least.
Here are the games for this coming week, starting tonight: Playoff games: Week of May 4-11
And here are the current team standings:
- 1 Dilly’s Danglers 118

Providing The Right Tools For Affiliates
Providing The Right Tools For Affiliates
One important part of managing affiliate programs is providing the right tools to make affiliates more efficient and more productive with less stress. At the end of this post are a few questions to help us understand your process.
New tools pop up constantly and some affiliates (and merchants) are early adapters. We can look to them for reviews and advice, but we also need to remember this: By the time we implement a new process and tweak the bells and whistles to automate our workflow, the early birds will have already moved on to the next new thing.
Some basic business building actions stick around because they work. Example? Data feeds! Many of the new ideas we see are built on the idea of making data feeds useful for everyone, not just the experts.
Office productivity tools have been around as long as we’ve had computers, but the innovations in file formats, macro building, presentation sharing and even just editing can make your head spin! Managers can go a long way towards increased productivity by sharing techniques and answering questions.
It’s important that affiliates spend their time building traffic and creating quality content, not struggling with daily upkeep.
Merchants and Account Managers can go over the list of possible tools and talk about changes to policies or products that might change the way affiliate information is distributed.
Is it time to add a Daily Deal calendar? Should we be working more closely with a service like PopShops, GoldenCan or Datafeedr?
Do we need tutorials or webinars to make something more useful?
We have a few productivity questions today pertaining to the image URL in a data feed:
Do you use the images provided in a data feed?
Which size is the most useful to you? Least useful?
Do you use images in Daily Deal feeds?
Thanks for your feedback!
