Yeah I shoulda posted before the 1st round but totally forgot to. Ah well us three can battle it out in round 1, then get a bunch more of us for round 2. Good luck boys!

Everyone is off to a good start!

We all have Boston too, but nobody wants them to win tonight.

DennisGreen · 04-22-09, 11:01 PM

LOL well Boston sweeps, doesn't help either of us. You are looking like you might take a huge lead BetterBetter as xxx and I are both on CBJ in 7 and your Detroit sweep prediction is looking pretty damn good.

DennisGreen 2-0 6 pts
BetterBetter 2-0 6 pts
xxx 2-0 6 pts

BetterBetter · 04-23-09, 09:14 PM

Woohoo! You guys are both looking pretty good with Pittsburgh in 6 though.

yisman · 04-24-09, 12:16 AM

sorry, didn't see this in time.

I made my pre-playoffs picks here.

It all looks good except for the Sharks.

BetterBetter · 04-24-09, 12:22 AM

Hey Yisman I think Dennis is doing another one for the second round too so be on the look out for that.

DennisGreen · 04-24-09, 01:15 AM

Well Yisman you're a trusted poster we will throw you in the mix for this round too. Yeah I will definitely do a 2nd round one on time this time, and maybe a continuation one with us four too.

Doing awesome Better you may very well go 8-0 in the first round matchups! Unreal job.

yisman · 04-24-09, 01:42 AM

thanks

I was most proud of my Rangers pick, because I was the only one out of 5 or 6 people to pick them over there, but it seems the posters here are sharper.

I have a shot at the bonus with a few series.

Better nailed it with the Ducks, but he also has the Flames and Hurricanes, either of which could lose.

BetterBetter · 04-24-09, 02:15 AM

Yeah I was high on the Hurricanes because of what they did against the Devils in the regular season. I knew they didn't face Brodeur much (I think he only played one game in the regular season series) but I thought the canes would win anyway. Big mistake underestimating Marty!

The Canes could still take the series but Ward will have to play great and Carolinas offense will have to solve Brodeur. Maybe if their power play gets going??? The Calgary/Chicago was a toss up for me and could still go either way. Before tonight I think I was like 19-4 or something in the playoffs and 3 of my losses were in that series. I have no read on those two teams whatsoever.

Man I was looking good in this contest early now the best I can do is tie xxx for 1st and I need a small miracle in Washington for that to happen.

DennisGreen · 04-28-09, 03:18 AM

Tight battle boys! All comes down to tomorrow's game 7s. Let's go Caps and Devils!

BetterBetter · 04-28-09, 08:53 PM

Congrats XXX!

yisman · 04-28-09, 10:22 PM

that was a bad round. I'm going to try and forget about it.

Good job, xxx!

BetterBetter · 04-28-09, 10:28 PM

Yisman, you didn't do too bad picking winners just could get any number of games right. At least we all went over .500
