So the Vezina finalists are Jon Quick, Pekka Rinne and Henrik Lundqvist. I'm bummed not to see Mike Smith's name on that list, but all three are highly deserving.

Obviously Lundqvist is the shoe in, but I really hope they seriously consider Quick, he's the only reason the Kings made the playoffs, and even though playoff performance is irrelevant for regular season awards, he did help steal round 1.

I would be ok with either Lundqvist or Quick winning.  There is no way Rinne should win though.  He may not even be the best in his own division.


I am going to have to pretend like I didn't just read those last 2 sentances.

I'd Rinne over either of those guys.

I will post a review of everyone's predictions tonight. If you want start making same predictions for round two. Who wins and in how many games feel free. I think most people were way off for round one.



Marks on 26 April 2012

I'll make my round 2 predictions tonight after the games are done :)

This round I'm 4 right and 2 wrong so far...with 2 to be decided. I have New Jersey and NYR winning tonight.

Yikes, looks like I have 3 right, 5 wrong, and 1 maybe.

The 3 right were big for me, leading the fantasy pool with my friends.

Just had to say if the Devil or Panthers ever end overtime I will post the results. This has been the most exciting overtime I have seen in awhile.

John Madden has tons of stiches it looks like he was smashed in the face by an mma fighter. The funny thing it all came from a collision with his teammate.

Will not post the lst round if this ends after 11;30 pm mountain time.

Aww, was hoping Florida would advance, never been a big Devils fan.

Surprised I'm tied for 2nd, not bad! Layout for round 2?

Blame Marks for only specifying an exact # of games in only one match.

 

Note: Anybody new can pick for round two, hopefully all pick again.

Finally, I will accept picks until 11:59 pm mountain time Saturday for round two due to short notice.



hollabackenny on 27 April 2012

Haha, brutal picks for me. This round will be even tougher but here we go.

STL vs LA (I literally flipped a coin for this) LA in 6
NSH vs. PHX Nashville in 6
NJD vs PHI New Jersey in 7
NYR vs. WAS Rangers in 5
