All Playoff Talk, All the Time 2011

I had to enter my picks before seeing anyone else's, and some people started *posting* their picks (this thread, I think). So rather than averting my eyes I figured I'd just make my picks early.

What I really need (and I'll try to get for the following rounds) is an impartial third party to collect all the picks.

When I suggested that you could change your picks before puck drop, I meant a general, inclusive "you." I assumed that anyone could make changes before game time. I can't remember if you addressed that in the rules you posted, but I figured that it was the case. If not, fair enough.

It's not stipulated, strictly speaking, but it makes it a hell of a lot more difficult for me if people change their minds. I've got 18 people in the draft -- half of them didn't bother reading the part about how I wanted the picks in a specific format and order (TB instead of TBL is easy enough, but then I get "caps in 6" instead of "WAS6", and throw in some random order for the picks). I wouldn't want to have to do it multiple times.

Ha. Fair enough. For the record, I sent my picks before you stipulated the format. I thought about sending them again, but figured I'd be unnecessarily cluttering your inbox. Correct format next round!

True...

'Yotes up 1-0 on the Wings in the 1st! Turris with the marker.

Holy Dung, Stamkos got punished by Orpik.

What channel is the Detroit game on in Ottawa?

Girardi is absolutely fantastic. Loved his game all year.

Couldn't find it on Rogers.

3-1 Wings after 2

Maybe I shouldn't have picked 7 games.

AK72 strikes; Asham follows shortly after, and it's 2-0 Pens in the third. TB is notorious for shooting their load in the 1st. All those chances they had and didn't bury is coming back to haunt them.

4-1 Detroit, now. Winnipeg will still love ya even if you get swept

Goaltending duel in Washington? Scoreless after 2.

Neuvirth blinks first.

Fleury with the SO; Kovalev with the winner.

Detroit joins Pittsburgh in the 1-0 club.
