Around the Network

East:
Montreal vs Philadelphia = Montreal
Pittsburgh vs New York (Rangers) = Pittsburgh

West:
Detroit vs Colorado = Detroit
San Jose vs Dallas = San Jose

Stanley Cup Champions - The Pittsburgh Penguins

Edit: Everyone's picks are pretty similar, since we started this late. Oh well, assuming Spire picks San Jose for the SC championship, we'll at least have 1 difference in between us 3.

Heh.

I had no idea this topic existed until now - I never go into this part of the forums.

Gotta take on chance on those Rangers, I'll be golden if they do win.



Around the Network

Eastern Conference

Montreal vs Philadelphia. Winner - Canadiens in 5

Pittsburgh vs New York. Winner - Penguins in 6



Western Conference

Detroit vs Colorado. Winner - Red Wings in 7

San Jose vs Dallas. Winner - Stars in 6

These are all prety tough to predict, actually. I could see any of these teams advancing, and all of them but Philly going to the SCF.

Ever since the day before the first games man. Off-topic has sorta died since it was taken off the first page, so it's understandable.



Alright I got:
Pittsburgh over New York in 7
Montreal over Philadelphia in 6
Colorado over Detroit in 6
Dallas over San Jose in 7

Reasons, I think Pitt and NY are even and Crosby will make the difference. I just guessed really with Montreal, never watched them this year but the little bit I saw of Philly didn't impress me. Colorado over Detroit because Detroit's goal tending is shaky and Theodore has been hot in the play offs plus all that rest they got from beating Minnesota in 6. And Dallas over San Jose just because I would love to see another Colorado/Dallas conference finals.

Rules:

1. We pick one team for every match up that should move on to the next round.
2. We choose the teams before every round.
3. We choose one team that we think will win the Stanley Cup. (This counts as your 4th round pick).
4. We start counting the points for the 2nd round.
5. 1 pt is given for the 2nd round for each correct prediction (adding one point each round: 1 pt 2nd round, 2 pts 3rd round...).
6. Obviously once the teams are picked they cannot be changed.
7. Losers have to change their avatars to the winner's choice of any NHL team.

 

 



I need:
cwbys21, Spire_VII and Desroko's choice of Stanley Cup Champions.
