PLAYOFF POOL - PICK YOUR WINNERS FOR ROUND 1

Pens dominated on the shot clock in the 2nd and 3rd but they had a rookie in goal. Recall that this is why I picked the Caps. But Washington *has to* play better than that.

Wow Nashville let it fall apart in the second part of the third. They lost their poise it seemed. Come back in game two and take it home.

Looking good for me so far

(assuming the teams currently leading end up winning, and discounting any bonus points)

Hey, Tim, are you getting some lunch at the Little Red Shack or just randomly retweeting their specials? Getting me hungry.

I retweet them whenever I can. The guy deserves way more business than he gets. It's delicious food, and he legit smokes everything properly.

Nailed that Tampa pick! They're rolling, and Bishop is playing great. Two short series to start, and they'll get Stamkos back....

They've played two meh teams. Certainly not going to beat the next team

You're right, they've had an easy path so far, but they're getting better, they're getting Stamkos back, Bishop's playing well, and they have lots of time to rest. Pitts and Washington are beating each other upretty good. I think Tampa might surprise Pittsburgh, but I think Washington would beat em.

Stamkos back? Haven't heard anything. At this point he'll hurt them before he helps them.

Dallas up 3-0 in the first.  Elliott pulled giving up 3 on 7 shots.

Sharks up 2-1 after 1.

Nashville ties it up. It's now 2-2 half way through the second.

Meanwhile Dallas still holding their 3-1 lead, half way through the third.

Spoke too soon. 3-2 now.

Under 5 minutes, Dallas hanging on 3-2.

Dallas hangs on. Game 7 back in Dallas.

Preds force game 7 as well. The home team has won each game so far.

Cussing islanders. They had so many chances to win that series against tampa.

This could be a pretty bad round for me.
