Tampa over Columbus in 5

Boston over Toronto in 6

Washington over Carolina in 6

Isles over Pittsburgh in 7
( I know, might be wishful thinking but the pens aren’t what they used to be)

Calgary over Colorado in 4

Vegas over San Jose in 7

Nashville over Dallas in 6

St-Louis over Winnipeg in 7
(This really could be a toss up, could go either way)

All and all I’m not sure I feel washington making it all the way back to the finals. I have a feeling the finals could be Tampa Vegas and that suits me fine.
I’ll be in Vegas for the weekend of 25-26th of May and it be fun to see the atmosphere.

Though I didn't post it, I had:

Tampa
Pittsburgh
Boston
Washington
St. Louis
Colorado
Nashville
Vegas

Colorado was my only real upset. I thought the series would go to seven. Colorado top-line was too dominant in the regular season, and the Flames had goaltending questions. Turns out goaltending wasn't really an issue - Calgary just couldn't find the back of the net.

Ev leads with 10 points. Tim, Hobiesens and yours truly are right behind with 9. Flo has 8 and Flea leads Tank Nation with 6.

In round 2 picks (without Flo's picks) only Ev picked Boston and only REDACTED picked Colorado. I find both of those surprising.  Would have expected something closer to 50-50.

You are!

Don't you remember? I once typed your first name in full and you got upset (tongue-in-cheek, I think). So I added your name (full name) to the list of no-no words so that whenever someone types E-V-A-N it here replaced with "redacted".
