After 8,219 games picked it comes down to this. The bonus decided the first match which sees Bronco Hockey Fan in the championship round trying to become the first player to sweep the season awards. On the other side, Bleacher Creature mbenecke rode very timely homer picking to an upset and a seat at the final table. This is an all-star match-up! We've been at this for 23 weeks; the two of you should know how this works. I will post picks after both players complete their official submissions. Good luck!

Picks for 2018-2019 WCHA Pick 'Em championship match are in. Will Bronco Hockey Fan be the first player ever to sweep the hardware for the year? Will redemption be in the offering for mbenecke after his sophomore slump? These questions, and many more, will be decided by the bonus. Only one thing left to do...play the game!

Here are the championship picks:

I can't believe we actually both picked BG. I did the homer pick rather than hedging my happiness (which would have meant win this OR BG wins the WCHA), and now I kind of wish I hadn't. Haha

Well, now I'm rooting for a high scoring game from my seats in Mankato on Saturday. Hoping for the best!

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Good luck sir, and bring home two victories from Mankato!

The final match of the 2018-2019 WCHA Pick 'Em season is one for the history books. In the closest championship match ever, Bronco Hockey Fan ties his way to a victory over mbenecke and hoists the Jeff Sauer trophy for the first time. But don't let the fact that a tie decided the match taint the victory as Bronco Hockey Fan held the lead through most of the match which was decided solely by the Away/Home bonus picks. Anyway, congratulations Bronco Hockey Fan on sweeping all the hardware this season and thanks everyone for a great year. See you in the fall.
