Well done. I went:
ReplyDeleteSan Jose - 5
Detroit - 6
Vancouver - 7
Chicago - 5
Boston - 6
Washington - 5
Carolina - 7
Pittsburgh - 6
I can't stand the Canucks, so it's prob a bias that I took them in 7 instead of 5 - or a more logical number to knock out the Blues.
Then I must be more biased than you because I HATE the Nucks. The fact that Trevor Linden is gone means that I no longer have a reason to let up on that bias. So St Louis in 7.

Once some of the lower-tiered teams bow out, I think this year's playoffs will be much closer than expected. I expect to see at least eight seven-game series, and none shorter than six after the first round.
Wow Patrick Ross loves underdogs more than I do.
ReplyDeleteDamn, my prediction for Washington and Anaheim is wrong already. Looks like the Detroit/Columbus and Pennsylvania battles are going to be very one-sided too. Turns out I picked the wrong underdog to back. :(
