Prager's Brackets 2017!

You could send me encrypted picks before 8 on Monday, then send me the private key after puck drop.

Ok there. Hahaha
I sent it to you already.

Google sheets is pretty neat. Some of the formulae in the original spreadsheet were kinda complicated but it just worked in sheets. She I can update it using my phone, or on my PC, sometimes on both.  Very convenient once you figure out how it works. And you don't have to pay Microsoft to use it

And free as well, right?

Yes

But I find excel far superior. I mean, with all the add ons. Can you even perform régressions on google sheets? (Serious question)

Preds in 6

You can add trend lines (linear regression) in google sheets, and you can also do multiple regression. Maybe not the same as in Excel (I never did anything more than trend lines).

PIT6

Just missing 3 (Hoffmachine, Hobiesens and Oglethorpe). Going with NSH7. I have no chance so might as well pick what I want - Fisher winning, in Pittsburgh (in your face, Crosby), have as much hockey as possible.

Well that was a kick in the 'nads. First they uphold a Sullivan's challenge that all analysts expected to be overturned, resulting in PK's goal being taken away. Then they call a phantom cross check in the crease from center ice resulting in a full 2 minute 5 on 3. Then they miss or fail to call Crosby's interference/elbow seconds before Malkin's goal. Then after coming back from 0-3 to tie it, Guentzel scores late to win it.

T'was a wet fart of a hockey game. I only watched the last five minutes or so. I really have zero interest in it.

I watched none of it and only checked in on NHL.com to follow the score. I was happy when it was tied but alas... F the Pens?

If anything, this game proved to me that the preds can win this series. They should have won this game. If they can keep limiting their shots rinne will be better. I don't expect the pens to get away with it all series long.

They were outplayed by the Jackets and Caps.

OTT7, f the rest

I can't see Rinne having another stinker like that one. He's been lights out all playoffs.

Well, technically I didn't see it since I didn't watch a minute of the game.

I see I was very wrong.  I hate that the Preds are just handing the Pens the cup and a team with Crosby and Malkin will be regarded so highly historically makes me want to actually vomit.  My only hope left is that the Preds figure their Dung out, win the Cup, and make the Pens sting of a loss that much more delicious.

It also says a lot about we took them to the brink. Could we have won the cup?
