Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 7</span><br />

Alex: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Philly doesn&#8217;t seem to have that fire they did last year, Boston however&#8230;)<br />
Ian: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Flyers in 7</span> (Shitty goaltending vs shitty powerplay)<br />
Trish: Bruins<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 6</span> (Gotta go with my boys again. Their powerplay sucked in Round 1 but their goaltending was great)<br />

<p><strong>(1) Vancouver Canucks vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(5) Nashville Predators</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Canucks in 6 (Pred&#8217;s tough, but Canucks turn it up when they need to)<br />
Alex: Canucks<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 5</span> (if the Sedin sisters wake up this should be a cake walk)<br />
Ian: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Predators</span> in 6 (With Borat in net, I like Nashville.)<br />

<p>Braden: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Red Wings in 6</span> (Hate both teams. one must win i guess)<br />
Alex: Sharks<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 6</span> (Detroit looks tired, Sharks not so much.)<br />
Ian: Sharks in 7 (This&#8217;ll be the best series of the four)<br />
Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Red Wings in 5</span> (The Sharks barely made it out of the last series. although if Niemi gets hot they will have a chance)<br />
Keith: &#8211;<br />
Nate: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Red Wings in 6</span> (None of the D on San Jose can stop Datsyuk)<br />
Matty: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Red Wings in 6</span><br />
Robbie: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (yuck, going against my gut to be different)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Word.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a while, the round table has reassembled to pick their winners. Lets re-introduce ourselves to the players:</p>
<p>Alex:  Rangers fan who doesn&#8217;t care how they got into the playoffs.<br />
Ian: First of the Calgary Flames followers. Has the time come to believe in the rival Canucks?<br />
Trish: The Bruins love might just pay off this year.<br />
Keith: Go Flames Go.<br />
Matty: Caps fan, who&#8217;s hoping for the #1 seeds to not stop winning.<br />
Nate: Ugh, Flames&#8230;<br />
Robbie: Oilers supporter. The draft is his favorite time of year.<br />
Mr.Gun: Penguins fan who will likely let that get in the way of the facts in the East.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Eastern Conference:</span></p>
<p><strong>(1) Washington Capitals vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(8) NY Rangers</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Capitals in 5 (Callahan would have equaled upset)<br />
Alex: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Rangers in 6</span> (The combined score of their last 3 meetings is 15-1 in favour of NY &#8211; Washington exits early again, and Boudreau gets canned.)<br />
Ian: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Rangers in 7</span><br />
Trish: Capitals in 5 (Ovie has been saving his best play for the playoffs)<br />
Keith: Capitals <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (They miss Green and Wideman, but it will be more of a team effort from Ovie)<br />
Nate: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Rangers in 7</span> (Caps choke again)<br />
Matty: Capitals in 5<br />
Robbie: Capitals in 5<br />
Mr.Gun: Capitals in 5</p>
<p><strong>(2) Philadelphia Flyers vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(7) Buffalo Sabres</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Flyers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (I just don&#8217;t get all the Sabres love)<br />
Alex: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 6</span> (Philly limped in, Buffalo stormed in &#8211; I predict the trend continuing)<br />
Ian: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 6</span><br />
Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 6</span><br />
Keith: Flyers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Too deep and will punish the smaller Sabres)<br />
Nate: Flyers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Miller takes a couple games to get in the groove)<br />
Matty: Flyers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Robbie: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres</span> in 7<br />
Mr.Gun: Flyers <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span></p>
<p><strong>(3) Boston Bruins vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(6) Montreal Canadiens</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (My pick to come out of the East)<br />
Alex: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (this pick relies on Thomas getting hot and the Habs staying scared &#8211; I could be wrong)<br />
Ian: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
Trish: Bruins in 7 (Go Bruins!)<br />
Keith: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Zdeno terrifies the whole Habs team. Bruins feel they need to make amends for last years choke)<br />
Nate: Bruins<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 5</span> (Riots in Montreal)<br />
Matty: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Robbie: Bruins <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
Mr.Gun: Bruins in 7</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(4) Pittsburgh Penguins</span> vs (5) Tampa Bay Lightning</strong></p>
<p>Braden: Lightning <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (No idea about this one, pens might sweep if i&#8217;m wrong)<br />
Alex: Lightning <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Fleury may steal a game, but the Lightning&#8217;s offense is firing on all  cylinders and Fleury has yet to show he can carry this team)<br />
Ian: Lightning <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 6</span><br />
Keith: Lightning in 7 (No Malkin or Crobsy = no chance. But they make it close and Staal has a great series)<br />
Nate: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins</span> in 7 (This one could go either way. I think the Lightning will run out of gas late in the series)<br />
Matty: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguin</span>s in 7<br />
Robbie: Lightning <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Mr.Gun: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins</span> in 6</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Conference:</span></p>
<p><strong>(1) Vancouver Canucks vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(8) Chicago Blackhawks</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Canucks<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 6</span> (Set phaser to DESTROY!)<br />
Alex: Canucks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 4</span> (Vancouver could be the team to beat this year, whereas Chicago is a shadow of the champs they were last year)<br />
Ian: Canucks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Blackhawks in 6</span> (Sorry Braden!)<br />
Keith: Canucks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (It is close but they finally get their head space figured out with the Hawks)<br />
Nate: Canucks in 7 (It pains me to predict this. I take solace in the fact that it&#8217;s another 2nd round exit for the Canucks)<br />
Matty: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Blackhawk</span>s in 7<br />
Robbie: Canucks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Mr.Gun: Canucks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Disgrace if they lose in the first round. They will work harder than ever before to win)</p>
<p><strong>(2) San Jose Chokes vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(7) LA Kings</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Sharkies <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (If they don&#8217;t roll the Kings, they are the worst team ever!)<br />
Alex: Sharks in 6 (I like this match up, should be a great series!)<br />
Ian: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
Trish: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Please don&#8217;t choke again Sharks)<br />
Keith: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Kings in 7</span> (Quick has a great series and steals it)<br />
Nate: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Kings have no chance)<br />
Matty: Sharks in 6<br />
Robbie: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
Mr.Gun: Sharks <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span></p>
<p><strong>(3) Detroit Red Wings vs <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(6) Phoenix Coyotes</span></strong></p>
<p>Braden: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Future Jets are in trouble)<br />
Alex: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (A great re-match of last year &#8211; I think Babcock&#8217;s coaching and his team of all stars win out)<br />
Ian: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
Trish: Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Bryzgalov is capable of stealing a series but I think the Wings are too strong)<br />
Keith: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Coyotes in 7</span> (Wings start to show their age)<br />
Nate: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Red Wings roll over the Coyotes)<br />
Matty: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
Robbie: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Coyotes in 7</span><br />
Mr.Gun: Red Wings <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">(4) Anaheim Ducks</span> vs (5) Smashville Predators</strong></p>
<p>Braden: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Ducks in 7</span> (Poor preds, still no series win. but this is the closest they&#8217;ve been)<br />
Alex: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Duck</span>s in 6 (Selanne refuses to go away and seems to be playing his best hockey in a while)<br />
Ian: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Duck</span>s in 6<br />
Trish: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Ducks in 7</span> (I love Teemu Selanne so I have to go with the Ducks)<br />

<p>Holy Habs again.</p>
<p>Down go my Canucks&#8230; again.</p>
<p>Heads up for Philly.</p>
<p>San Jose ends Detroit&#8217;s season (as i said in my email &#8220;&#8230;Detroit will win one series, that&#8217;s all&#8221;).</p>
<p>Round 3 time.</p>
<p><em><strong>Eastern Conference Finals</strong></em></p>
<p>(7) <span style="color: #339966;">Philadelphia Flyers</span> vs (8) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Montreal Canadiens</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Agression wins)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canadiens in 6</span> (Philly has woken up, but I don&#8217;t think they can beat Montreal&#8217;s heart  and playoff gutsl)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (This will be a different series than the previous two for MTL. Much more  physical and elite shutdown players in Pronger and Richards.)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canadiens in 6</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canadiens in 7</span> (Halak steals the show)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers in 5</span> (montreal finally gives up!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (This is probably the toughest series to predict, as neither team should  be here.)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Western Conference Finals</strong></em></p>
<p>(1) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">San Jose Sharks</span> vs (2) <span style="color: #339966;">Chicago Blackhawks</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Still the best team left alive)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (San Jose hasn&#8217;t looked solid this entire post-season while the  Blackhawks just seem to be getting better!)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Chicago is too deep and better on the road than at home)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 7</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (Young, fast, talented. Niemi is better than anyone thought)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (also&#8230;finaly San Jose plays in its typical playoff fashion!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (Chicago owns San Jose. Nabokov runs to the KHL screaming &#8220;don&#8217;t Toews  me, bro!&#8221;)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawk</span>s <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span></p>

<p>Word.</p>
<p>Upsets all over the place in the east, chalk in the west. Here are the crew&#8217;s picks for Round 2.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Eastern Conference</strong></span></p>
<p>(4) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Pittsburgh Penguins</span> vs (8) <span style="color: #339966;">Montreal Canadiens</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 6</span> (if montreal makes everyone look like idiots [see round 1 picks], it might be their year)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: P<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">enguins in 6</span> (as much as I&#8217;d like to see Montreal become the latest edition to the 8th  place Canadian Cup Contender Club &#8211; I think Pittsburgh will provide  much more defense than Washington &#8211; can&#8217;t win if you don&#8217;t score!)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 5</span> (Halak should win at least one game the Habs)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 6</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 6</span> (Halak is still strong but Pens are deep and prove to be too much. Gutsy  effort from the small Habs team)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 4</span> (in typical montreal fashion, they upset Washington then loss 4  straight!!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 6</span> (The Penguins actually know how to play in the playoffs unlike  Washington.)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins  in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Penguins in 5</span> (I’ll give Halak  a game I guess … ?)</p>
<p>(6) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Boston Bruins</span> vs (7) <span style="color: #339966;">Philadelphia Flyers</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins in 6</span> (the bruins or the flyers will be in the conference finals&#8230;)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (I call this the &#8220;I really don&#8217;t care series&#8221; &#8211; Philadelphia is showing  the character they lacked all year&#8230; could be trouble for Pittsburgh  next round&#8230;)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span> (Rask is awesome. Flyer injuries will probably catch up to them)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins in 6</span> (<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">gotta  go with my boys on this one. They have Savard back which should help)</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span> (Loss of Carter and Gagne hurt Philly. Savard has a good return, and  Lucic makes his presence known against the Broadstreet Bullies.)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins in 6</span> (Still based purely on Trish!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span> (Philly lost too many important players to injury in round 1)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Flyers  in 7</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Bruins</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Western Conference</strong></span></p>
<p>(1) <span style="color: #339966;">San Jose Sharks</span> vs (5) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Detroit Red Wings</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings in 7</span> (don&#8217;t like either team, but glad one will be out next week sometime. hope it&#8217;s the sharks)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks</span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 7</span> (I&#8217;m not sure that last round wasn&#8217;t so much a case of Detroit waking-up  as it was Phoenix crapping the bed &#8211; the vets go home and the Sharks get  some 3rd round pie!)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings in 6</span> (Joey Moss could be in net for the Wings and they&#8217;ll still win)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 5</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (I just really hate Detroit. SJ&#8217;s 1st line finally realize it is the  playoffs and contribute.)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings in 6</span> (San Jose won&#8217;t win two playoff series!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings in 6</span> (I bet we see Lidstrom matched up against Pavelski rather than  Thornton.)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings  in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wings in 6</span></p>
<p>(2) <span style="color: #339966;">Chicago Blackhawks</span> vs (3) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Vancouver Canucks</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canucks in 7</span> (no comment other than go canucks go!)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canucks</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span> (This will be a great series, no twist for this one, just great hockey)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (I&#8217;m almost as worried about Niemi as I am about Borat. It will come down  to goaltending)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Lou  is shaky these days, Chicago will get to him (just like last year)</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (Too bad these teams don&#8217;t meet in the West finals. Best series of round  2. I don&#8217;t have a reason, other than I don&#8217;t like the Canucks. Sorry  Braden)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (based this pick purely on jerseys!!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks in 6</span> (It really feels like it&#8217;s gonna be a repeat of last year. Suck it  7uongo)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> i<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">n 7</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Canucks</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span></p>
<p>Stay tuned for updates on the leaderboard when teams go out.</p>

<p>Word.</p>
<p>Most of the round table has returned to pick winners (but mostly losers) and talk some smack along the way. So if anyone&#8217;s forgot who&#8217;s who, here&#8217;s a quick refresh:</p>
<p>Alex: Still sour NY Rangers fan.<br />
Ian: First of the Calgary Flames followers. Has Phaneuf jersey up for sale i&#8217;m sure.<br />
Trish: May still be hanging on to some Boston Bruins love.<br />
Keith: Another Calgary Flames follower, i wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see some Flames references in his picks.<br />
Matty: A Washington Capitals fan, could this be the year for his guys?<br />
Nate: More Flames love, and is a really big Stajan fan.<br />
Robbie: Die hard Edmonton Oilers fan. tough times&#8230;<br />
Mr.Gun: His Pittsburgh Penguins won it all last year so it&#8217;s all down hill from there.</p>
<p><strong>Eastern Conference:</strong><em> </em></p>
<p>(1) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Washington Capitals</span> vs (8) <span style="color: #339966;">Montreal Canadiens</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 6</span> (not sold on Washington yet though)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 6</span> (but they get beat up real bad!)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 5</span> (We&#8217;ll see Price before the end of Game 2)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 4</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 6</span> (Too much offense, even though Halak steals a couple)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 5</span> (I would have suggested a sweep, but didn&#8217;t want to sound that confident!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 5</span> (Both Price and Halak see time (and plenty of the goal light) in this  series as the Caps light up the Habs)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals  in 5</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Capitals in 5</span> (Habs aren’t good)</p>
<p>(2) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">New Jersey Devils</span> vs (7) <span style="color: #339966;">Philadelphia Flyers</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils in 4</span> (If NJ plays their game, it&#8217;ll be over quick)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 5</span> (Philadelphia has as much goaltending as a swimming team)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils in 6</span> (If anyone fucks this up. It will be Kovalchuk)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 5</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils in 7</span> (It comes down to goaltending. Marty is the difference)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils in 6</span><br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 5</span> (Boucher? Really?)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils  in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Devils in 6</span> (Noooooo!!! Prove  me wrong Philly … please)</p>
<p>(3) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Buffalo Sabres</span> vs (6) <span style="color: #339966;">Boston Bruins</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Bruins in 6</span> (Something&#8217;s wrong with Buffalo offensively so it&#8217;ll be tough to score enough especially on the road)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 5</span> (Boston is leaking&#8230; they&#8217;re only around still because they had a good  enough lead)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Bruins in 6</span> (Buffalo is awful outside of Miller&#8230;plus they&#8217;re soft and have terrible  d)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Bruins</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 7</span> (Two teams with good tending but no offense. Rask takes this one)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 7</span><br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres in 7</span> (I like Rask a lot but I just don&#8217;t think Boston have enough firepower to  get past Miller.)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres  in 5</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sabres</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span></p>
<p>(4) <span style="color: #339966;">Pittsburgh Penguins</span> vs (5) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Ottawa Senators</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins in 6</span> (The pens aren&#8217;t as good as they were last year though)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins in 6</span> (this will be a good series&#8230; but Ottawa just doesn&#8217;t have the  fire-power)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins in 6</span> (Elliott wins 2 games in this series)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 5</span> (Defending champs roll over the Sens, Malkin wakes up)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins in 6</span><br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins in 6</span> (Ottawa&#8217;s second pairing isn&#8217;t good enough to stop Malkin)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 4</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Penguins</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span></p>
<p><strong>Western Conference:</strong></p>
<p>(1) <span style="color: #339966;">San Jose Chokes</span> vs (8) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Colorado Avalanche</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Avalanche</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span> (Could be horribly wrong on this one)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 4</span> (Marleau line lights them up)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks in 6</span> (If Duchene and Mueller were healthy. I&#8217;d pick them to win)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Avalanche</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 6</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (Avs give them a scare but prove to be too much for them)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks in 6</span> (Battle of the worst series ever!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks in 6</span> (Anderson looks really tired lately. TSN will talk about how Thornton  finally learned how to win from his time at the Olympics. Then they&#8217;ll  get ousted in the second round when they play quality opponents)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks  in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Sharks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (I should know  better than to pick these guys)</p>
<p>(2) <span style="color: #339966;">Chicago Blackhawks</span> vs (7) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Nashville Predators</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (If Nashville wins 2 games, they&#8217;ll win the series)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks in 6</span> (Nashville is out of their league&#8230; they&#8217;re about to find out how much)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Duncan Keith)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Too deep and last years experience pays off)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks in 6</span><br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks in 6</span> (Chicago is just the better team. It&#8217;d be nice to see Nashville win a  series some day. They always have good teams. If they could afford to  spend to the cap they would be a perennial top seed)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks  in 6</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Blackhawks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 4</span></p>
<p>(3) <span style="color: #339966;">Vancouver Canucks</span> vs (6) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">LA Kings</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (Not a great matchup for my guys, but we should have enough to win. Reminds me of Dallas series a few years back)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (I like LA&#8230; but Vancouver is playing really well!)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 4</span> (AIDS town gets lucky again and wins their first round series easily)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Kings  in 7</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span> (This one is going to be closer than people think. The sisters have a  good series)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span><br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks in 6</span> (Neither goalie is playing well, so this could be a high scoring series.  I&#8217;d love to say that the 8 goals LA scored on Luongo was a sign that LA  will whoop Vancouver, but it&#8217;s not. Though it would be nice to see 7uongo replaced with Lu8ng8. Even with it&#8217;s depleted D core I think  Vancouver can beat the Kings handily)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Canucks</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 7</span></p>
<p>(4) <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Phoenix Coyotes</span> vs (5) <span style="color: #339966;">Detroit Red Wings</span></p>
<p><strong>Braden</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span> (My comment from my email was meant for those who are going to pick detroit all the way to the finals, i think they&#8217;ll win one round&#8230; that&#8217;s all)<br />
<strong>Alex</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> in 6</span> (Detroit is Detroit and Phoenix gets reminded of what a 1st round exit is)<br />
<strong>Ian</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings in 7</span> (This will be the best series. I hope Phoenix wins, but Detroit&#8217;s  experience will get them through)<br />
<strong>Trish</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span><br />
<strong>Keith</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Coyotes</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span> (Veterans vs Kids. Youngsters in the desert get to Howard)<br />
<strong>Matty</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Brandon, Phoenix is poo! and if you like them because you call them the  Jets, they&#8217;re not, they are called the Coyotes and they play in Phoenix,  they have been located there for so long that they have changed their  jerseys 3 times! BUT most importantly I hate Phoenix more, because you  love them!)<br />
<strong>Nate</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 5</span> (Unfortunately for Phoenix there&#8217;s no shootout in the playoffs. Detroit  is gonna win the conference. Book it)<br />
<strong>Robbie</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Coyotes</span> <span style="color: #339966;">in 7</span><br />
<strong>Mr.Gun</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">Wings</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">in 6</span></p>

<p>So it&#8217;s been a thousand years since i&#8217;ve posted, and i&#8217;m sure all my visitors have gone. but if i know the web (which i don&#8217;t), i know that the more i post, the more people will come back. So i&#8217;ll just quietly go about my business here posting occasionally and see what happens. My first post will be to inform everyone to come by and visit the new house Sheena and i will be moving into this weekend! We&#8217;ve bought a house in St.Boniface at 75 Imperial ave. So come by and say hi if you&#8217;re in the area.</p>
<p>Update your address books, iphones, cell phones, day timers, palm pilots, and any other devices that carry your &#8216;contacts&#8217;.</p>
<p>Oh, and the phone # is still the same, as are all my emails in case you want to get a hold of me.</p>
<p>Until the next post. I&#8217;m out.</p>

Well well well. Round 3 picks in the bag and some predictable results in the end (unfortunately). Here are the expert picks for the finals:
Stanley Cup Finals:
(2) Detroit Red Wings vs (4) Pittsburgh Penguins
Braden: Red Wings in 7
Alex: … (has thrown in the towel after a couple of rounds of &#8216;less than correct&#8217; picks)
