I thought I was the only one to pick Carolina, Florida, Columbus AND the Preds to make it...interesting. I don't know if you're giving the Canes enough of a chance vs. Washington. Other than that I like these picks, except you should change the SCF to be Flames in 7 instead :P
not one 1st round 2-7 upset? usually one somewhere.and while i don't think it will happen, i'd be quite thrilled with a cup no matter who they play or how many games it takes.
The only stuff I don't really like is Canucks out in the first round and the Wild making it over Edmonton. Other than that it seems good
Sorry I swear this is my last comment: it's pretty bold to pick the Caps to go that far...but hey it would be a boring blog if you didn't make some bold picks
thanks.. i think the Oilers might squeek in as well, and the Sharks may very well take the cup, but you gotta draw the line and pick some upsets, you know what i mean!?..I hate the Habs so i had to pick them missing the playoffs just to make some waves... the last thing i need happening is how Hossa carried the Pens, taking the RedWings to another cup, my inlaws are from MI and i dont want to hear about it again
caps will go far...unless theodore crumbles. Canucks look great on paper but havent showed much consistency. Now picking the flyers to win the stanley cup this year.....that is BOLD.
I'm feeling the Devils would beat both the Caps and the Flyers in your projection. Caps and Flyers goalies are just too weak to make it that far. Seems a pipe dream for either team to win the cup.
Thats a solid bias set of picks there. Well done
The Wild are hot with Gabby back. Interesting picks for the playoff rounds.
