Fair enough . . . I know for myself, like last year, I have been very good at predicting first round match-ups, and not very good from then onward. So, hopefully that changes.
BTW, that's pretty lenient letting them in until Friday . . . but we do want more picks in, so I am not against it.

Haha, you picked San Jose to sweep the Wings the morning after the Sharks scored in O/T to go up 3 games to nothing!  |

Very Interesting turn of events after tonight.
We know 3 winners and we also know that the final series will go 7 games.
It's the top 1/2 with ties who move on. As 13 people got picks in, top 7 and ties move on.
Regardless of who wins, the people who are through to the next round are:
HawkinOilCountry
Beans15
99Pickles
tbar
Guest4271
FlyingV
If Boston Wins, these people are through(but are out if Philly wins):
Thrasher17
umteman
polishexpress
If Philly wins, these people are through(but are out if Boston wins):
Slozo
Irvine
Sadly, regardless who wins, these people are out:
MrBoogedy
Alex116(betting with his heart rather than his head Just Kidding Buddy)

I'm really hoping that Philly will not be the 3rd team in history of NHL playoffs to return from 0-3, or else three of us are out. Go Bruins.

Normally I hate the Flyers, but I will be cheering for them tomorrow night. I truly think they deserve the series the way it has gone so far, and as stated previously, they were robbed by bad luck a couple of the games that Boston won, and I feel like they are the better team.
That, and, it would be nice to squeeze into the third round

My imitation of Sidney Crosby:
Yeah, it's tough being knocked out, but i gotta give credit to those guys. They made the right picks and i didn't. It's hard to explain, i really thought the Canucks had it this year against a rookie goalie and that the Wings were on a roll that didn't seem ready to end. The Pitt/Mtl series, well, i really wanted the Habs to win it and nothings impossible but after coming off a 7th game vs the Caps i didn't think they'd have enough left in the tank? Either way, i'm out and i gotta give a lotta props to those guys going through to the final round.
What "Crosby Haters" hear:
It's freakin' ridiculous! There's no way i should be knocked outta this thing buy guys like Beans, tbar and the rest of those guys! I swear, they prob flipped coins or something! They simply got lucky and got all the breaks! I'm much better than them at this thing and they don't deserve to be going through!
Beans, I WAS NOT betting with my heart! When i made my picks, i made some spelling mistakes. I spelled Chicago V a n c o u v e r. Doesn't matter i suppose, if Philly wins, i go 0 'fer! Sweet! I'm like the Canucks! Solid for one round!  Should i change my name to LUUUUUU? |

Brilliant Alex. I only hope I can be as classy and honorable when I bow out as I will be betting against Montreal again and more than likely lose. I also think I am betting for the Sharks and will get stung on that as well.

Woo hoooooooo!!!! I made it!
I mean . . . ahem - cool, here are my third round picks, fresh after watching that amazing game in Boston (eat your heart out, Don Cherry, ha ha haaaaa!!!):
San Jose vs Chicago: the Sharks win in 5 games
As stated previously, I think the Sharks will sort of roll unexpectedly against the Hawks . . . but who knows with the way this playoffs has gone.
Philly vs, Montreal: the Flyers in 6
It's like banging your head against a wall this year betting against the Habs, as they don't seem to understand that they are supposed to lose . . . and all the credit to them. But - welcome to a real defense, welcome to a team like yourself that is quick on the counter while playing defensively responsible. Oh, and these guys hit hard, have even and balanced scoring, and . . . well, they don't have an A goalie, but he's playing well enough I think.
Onward! Upward!

No one got all 4 series correct. The best was HawkinOilCountry and Beans with 3 series and dead on games played.
Alex116 was the only one with the goose-egg.
Those who are into the next round are bold and in Green below.
The next series started on Sunday afternoon. I will accept your picks as long as the time stamp is Sunday before 7:00pm Pacific/10:30pm Eastern. (I will be away in the Rockies on a mini Golf Trip. I will update on Tuesday when I get back)
Winning team and Number of Games. Added to this round is total number of goals scored(combined, all teams) to ensure we don't have too many ties. Top 1/2 move on to the Finals.
Name Correct Picks Game Differential
HawkinOilCountry 3 0
Beans15 3 0
99Pickles 2 1
Slozo 2 1
Irvine 2 1
tbar 2 2
Guest4271 1 0
FLYING-V 1 0
Thrasher17 1 1
umteman 1 1
polishexpress 1 1
MrBoogedy 1 3
Alex116 0 1

I will take
Philly in 6 - I think the Cinderella run is over and Montreal has not played a team nearly as physical as the Flyers. Plus, looking at what the Flyers just did to Boston, I can't bet against them.
San Jose in 5 - Agreed, Slozo. Not only do I think that San Jose is a better team than Vancouver, but they are also better coached. And if Vancouver ultimately outplayed Chicago 5 on 5, San Jose is going to run over them.
Total Goals Scored 53.

How the eff do i make it through goin 1-3???
Anyways here are my picks.
Sharks in 6: I had originally picked the Hawks to come out of the west but after watching the San Jose detroit series, I had to flip my vote. The sharks are playing unreal.
Flyers in 7: Honestly, the habs are probably going to win, but i'll be damned if im going to acknowledge it.
Its not worth winning if you cant win big! |

Oh well, couldn't match last years success. Second year in a row I have been bitten by the Sharks; since when do those guys go past the second round? Anyway not advancing isn't as bad as dealing with Flyers fans at work, lol. How many of us are thinking the Habs just might do it? It seemed so improbable as the playoffs began yet here they are in the conference final having eliminated both the #1 seed and the defending champs in succession!
Did you hear about the retired proctologist? He spent 40 years saying "what's a place like this doing in a girl like you?" |

The Flyers doing the unprobable, and coming back from 0-3 to win the series in 7, has advanced me! Woohoo! lol.
Anyhow,
@uteman:
I've bet against the Habs in the past two series, and I have done it again.
Can the Habs advance to the finals? Sure they can. At this point, I believe the Habs could take it all, after eliminating the Presidents Trophy Winner, and the Defending Stanley Cup Champs.
But, can the Canadiens compete with a rough and tumble, hit hard, grinding team like the Flyers? I'm not so sure. They have yet to play against a team in the playoffs of this style yet. The Flyers may just grind them down to nothing.
Here is where, I believe, the Habs size could hurt them. The Flyers goal will be to hit them hard, every chance they get. They'll also do some rough stuff, post-whistle, etc... until the Habs can't take any more.
This will be a tough contest for the Habs I think.

Haven't been around for a while. Just wanted to remind everybody I picked Chitown and Philly for the finalists months ago based on the respective past records of Hossa and Pronger in the years after they had been traded. Would prefer Sharks v. Habs, but I stick by my prediction.
The Oil WILL make the playoffs in 2010. |

Actually, looking over everyone's records in the second round, I don't know why the 1-0 guys were included, as leaving it at two correct picks would have been half the field - as Beans said earlier he would cut out half the field each time.
Whatever.
I think I need to add total goals scored though . . . odd that Beans has picked the exact winners and game length of the series that I have, so I guess I can't pick the same number of goals scored!
So, I called San Jose in 5 games (now I am nervous about the series length, but I'll stick with it) . . . and I think there will be mostly 3-2 games here, with one or two blowouts. Lets say about 28 goals all together . . . hmm. With the empty netters inflating things, I'll put it up to 30.
I called Philly in 6 games . . . and I still like this pick and the number of games. I say Philly wins twice by a 2-0, 2-1 score . . . and I do think they will pile on for two games, with 6 or even 7 goals with the Habs getting a few. In the Habs wins, I predict one in o/t maybe 3-2, and the other one a solid 4-1 or something like that (the first game in Montreal).
So, higher scoring than most might pick, I say 35 goals there.
65 goals total.

Slozo, as 13 people were in, 1/2 is 6.5. I round up, not down as I think the more people in the more fun it is. So I took 7 and ties.
The final round will not have more than 4 people as the 3rd tiebreaker will ensure separation.
As far as you and I both picking the same teams and games, I guest great minds think alike?? |

San Jose def Chic in 6
Mont def Philly in 6
Total goals all teams: 60
(In the event of a tie-breaker: is it total goals without going over, or just most accurate either way - over or under. Just trying to see issues before they arise.) |

Guest4271 - Picked both series correct and moves on.
Beans15 and Slozo both picked 1 series correct and had a game differential of 2 and move on to the finals.
Flying-V, Irvine, and HawkinOilCountry all picked one series and had a game differential of 4. The tie breaker went to total goals. The actual total goals were 44. Flying V picked 58, Irvine picked 62, and HawkinOilCountry picked 70.
99Pickles got both series incorrect.

Beans,
Flying V picked 58 goals and I picked 70 (very very wrong). So I think he's in and I'm out.
Whether I'm the game or not; my pick is Chicago in 5, 20 goals
The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal. |

Beans - I called Philly in 6 games and they won in 5 . . . so isn't that a differential of 1, putting me ahead of you? Oh wait - you picked exactly the same as me, pfffffft.
So we have until Saturday to pick who wins between Chicago and Philly . . . hmm. This bodes much better for Philly to get the guys returning from injury even healthier.
I'll have to think a bit more before making my pick.

You are correct Sir. I had your numbers reversed.
