PLAYOFF POOL - PICK YOUR WINNERS FOR ROUND 1

I'm gonna have to think about this one. I really think SJ will win.

I guess Pittsburgh keeps rolling with Murray in net.

It's sharks time. In 7

Sharks in 6

at the end of the day it's hard to bet on Joe Thornton to win anything meaningful

By all means, bet against him.

Penguins are the favourite, so I just might.

Road win? You sure?

Well...this sucks. I've picked against the sharks in every series...do I learn my lesson? Doesn't matter, I'm not winning this thingy.

Penguins in 7. All California teams lose their first shot at the stanley cup

15 teams lose their shot at the Stanley Cup each year.

I really would like the Sharks to win but I feel like he pens have the edge. None the less, I'm not winning this either so I'll pick the Sharks in 6 just because I have to go against my gut.

EDIT: just noticed that EV picked the pens in 5. Well now the sensible thing is definitely go with the opposite. I'm sticking to my prediction of Sharks in 6.

PIT6 for me. Yes, a road win.

Three huge points!

Keep in mind, picking the correct team gets you 16 points; and if you also pick the correct number of games you get a bonus 8. Unless you are 25 points back you are not out of it yet (unless you pick the same as whoever is ahead of you).

San Jose in 6.

OK, all picks are in and here are the possible outcomes:

PIT4: Michallica
PIT5: Ev
PIT6: (tie) Michallica, me
PIT7: Michallica
SJS4,5,6: Tim
SJS7: SD

Spader and Flo are mathematically eminated.

Holy smokes.  Way to math it up, Walter. If I had gone SJ in 7, would that have changed things?
