Definitely. Except for EV with his off the board pick that make him look like a genius right now but I guess he went too off the board with too many

He's a contrarian. He always goes off the board.

Actually, I think it was from TNG, so it was Riker sucking alien face.

First sweep of the playoffs! Calgary gets bounced! Will we have another with Chicago? One can only hope...

Why would you jinx this?

Jinxing it would have been to enter OTT5.

With 6 of 8 series in the books Oglethorpe leads with 15, hobiesens next with 14, and Ev and spader tied for 3rd with 13.

If the remaining series both end tonight, Oglethorpe and hobiesens will share 1st place with 19 points, and Clutch will be 3rd with 18.

Round 2 could be starting mid week. Start thinking about your picks.

Apologies for the quality. Did this all on my phone.

Cussing CBJ and Chicago screwed me over big time...especially CBJ, didn't even put up a fight.

However ppl did laugh at my capitals in 6 prediction. To that I say :

Correct.


Everyone, keep in mind that the points in round 2 double. You get 4 points for picking the winning team and 2 bonus points if you also picked the right number of games.
