i now regret not taking a sign that said "The Caps are Indie Rock" sign

my picks
Quarters
1 Montreal Canadiens Vs 8 Boston Bruins- Montreal in 5
2 Pittsburgh Penguins Vs 7 Ottawa Senators- Pittsburgh in 4 (sorry Emmah, another year of complaining sens fans)
3 Washington Capitals Vs 6 Philadelphia Flyers- Washington in 6
4 New Jersey Devils vs 5 New York Rangers- Rangers in 6
1 Detroit Red Wings vs 8 Nashville Predators- Red Wings in 5
2 San Jose Sharks vs 7 Calgary Flames- San Jose in 6
3 Minnesota Wild vs 6 Colorado Avalanche- Colorado in 6
4 Anaheim Ducks vs 5 Dallas Stars- Anaheim in 7

Semis
1 Montreal vs 5 NYR- Montreal in 4
2 Pittsburgh vs 3 Washington- Washington in 6 (i really think this Caps team with Huet can finally match them)
1 Detroit vs 6 Colorado- Colorado in 7 (in a massive upset)
2 San Jose vs 4 Anaheim - San Jose in 5

Finals
1 Montreal vs 3 Washington- Montreal in 5

As much as I love Kovalev, I just don't think he can lead a team to the Cup Finals. In 2000-2001 when he had his best career season, Mario was back, Jagr had one of his best seasons, Lang and Straka had great seasons, and they had a hot rookie goaltender in Johan Hedberg they couldn't make the finals.


The Canadiens best weapon is their powerplay. If they play a disciplined team like the Rangers or the Devils, they just won't get a lot of opportunities and they will have to rely solely on their defense and Carey Price.

If they play the Penguins, the Pens depth is going to kill them.

I called Panto at at the beach today 'round 5 PM (two hours before the first drop of the puck) and he said, "Call me after the game."

"What about overtime?"

"Um, okay, call me before the second overtime."

Oh what a laugh we had!

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

So I picked Montreal, Pittsburgh, Washington, New York, Dallas, San Jose, Colorado, and Detroit for the 1st round.

So far one of my picks won its series, one is losing, one is tied, and five are winning.

[jennthebenn]

Let's see how I did...

Montreal Vs Boston- Montreal in 5...Disgusting this went to 7 games; I'd riot, too.

Pittsburgh Vs Ottawa- Pittsburgh in 5...I was being nice giving Ottawa a game.

Washington Vs Philly- Washington in 6...Heartbreaker.

NJD vs NYR- Rangers in 6...Close here too

Detroit vs Nashville- Detroit in 4...I shoulda known better, Detroit's no powerhouse

San Jose vs Calgary- San Jose in 7...Yessir!

Minnesota vs Colorado- Minnesota in 5...Ugh

Anaheim vs Dallas- Dallas in 6...Ding ding!

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

I got 7/8 of the winners right. I picked Caps over Flyers.

[pantophobia]

got 6 of the winners right and able to predict the number of games of the aves and pens

much easier then a ncaa bracket for sure
