PREDICTIONS ROUND 2 NHL PLAYOFFS

Ok well as first round predictions go It wasn't an outstanding success. Here is how I called them;

EAST BRACKET:

BRUINS in 5: Got that one right
What happened: Nothing I got it right.

LIGHTNING  in 7: Wrong and not disappointed to have been;
What happened? I used reverse psychology. It worked

PENS in 6: Got the right team but the wrong amount of games to do it
What happened? Columbus came to play and I had the series as my Holy crap series....it almost happened.

FLYERS in 7: Got the number of games right but not the winner:
What happened? Thought the Flyers had more drive to go deep in this years playoffs...nope!

TOTAL SCORE: 2 right 2 wrong

WEST BRACKET:

DUCKS in 5: Got the winner right not the games. Ducks were a little flippy floppy.
What happened? Nothing the Ducks won didn't they.

SHARKS in 7: Failed..just like the Sharks have been doing for 16 years in playoffs.
What Happened? I played the odds and One word for you ''CHOKE!''

AVS in 6: Got all excited and giddy over King Patrick and his team. Good run for his first year.
What Happened? Thought youth and excitement could get past the grind and slower then molasses Wild

HAWKS in 7: Believed they would win with their best guys back in the line up.
What happened? Blues didn't know how to close...reference Sharks, blues the new sharks of the NHL?

TOTAL SCORE: 2 right, 2 wrong


ROUND 2 OK! On to round 2. So here they are and why. With some help from some representatives from each team.

EAST BRACKET


HABS vs BRUINS: Bruins in 6. Yes..yes..yes I know. But no matter how much the Quebecois want it to ''sent la coupe'' it doesn't not with this team. Remember ''reverse psychology''.
Why: Because if I say Boston and believe Boston then maybe just maybe the Habs will prove me wrong!
















PENS vs RANGERS: PENS in 6. The Pens can't play that crappy all the time.
Why: Have to believe the Pens have way more depth then the Rangers regardless of the late season changes.




WEST BRACKET


HAWKS vs WILD: Hawks in 5. Yeah i'm not taking the Wild no matter what.
Why: See above comment.
















KINGS vs DUCKS:  Kings in 6 Could be a great series if Ducks show up to play.
Why: Kings have what it takes to go back to the Cup final. They proved that coming back from 3 games. Plus my oldest son is routing for them.

















OH and one for the ladies;

So there you have it friends. Lets see what happens. Maybe Round two will be a little better in the prediction category.
