[93mr2gt]

lol i have been pretty good. Took Nsh, LA, NJ, NYR, probably good bye Nsh

[max_boost]

Wow New York! LOL
Way to possibly save the year lol

[D'z Nutz]

Phoenix up 2-0 heading into the 3rd so far. Go 'yotes!

[JLau]

Say good bye to Nsh.

[max_boost]

Can't believe the Rangers pulled that out. Looks like they are gonna close it out in 6 IMO

[dino_martini]

Sigh, with Nashville out that has sunk one of my hockey pool teams. But I'm sitting pretty in my other pool where I picked:

Gaborik
Stepan
Anisimov
B. Richards
Fedotanko
Kopitar
Williams
Brown
M Richards
Lunqvist

If NJ can knock out Philly, I think I might win it

[D'z Nutz]

Bryz == weeeeak

I agree

[JLau]

i took kings, nj, det, nyr in my pool, so i am looking pretty good

[D'z Nutz]

Remember last year when Phoenix really wanted Bryzgalov to stay and he wouldn't because he wanted to play for a contender?

[dino_martini]

Well Game 7 at MSG tomorrow evening. I wish I could be there. I think it will be one of the best games of the season. LET'S GO RANGERS!

Bryz was always Pheonixs biggest issue. Only reason they are in playoffs is smith. Philly is one of the most talented fronts in the league, crap tending ftl. hate philly

Well, caps are out. I only got 2 predictions right that time. guessboi and Gixx6 are still ahead of me.

Don't forget to update your brackets before the first game of the conference finals!

Fucking Caps show they can hang and generally look like a solid team then blow it in game 7. They're like the San Jose Sharks of the East.

I have the Devils in my playoff pool at work so I'm cheering for them. I figured they could take the Caps so that's why I'm miffed


Rags vs Devs should be a good series tho. Lotta hate between those teams.

[Freeskier]

Well I went 3/4 in the second round. Winning teams at least, not in games played.
I'm going with Kings vs. Rangers final, Kings in 7

[D'z Nutz]

I'm 2/4 this round, but of the four teams I've actually been cheering for, 3/4 are still in it to win it (LA, Phoenix, and NY). I predicted LA vs NY in the finals since mid season and it looks like it might even happen. Sutter and Tortz rematch?

Yeah even last season I thought they were a really decent team with the exception of goaltending. When Philly signed him to that monstrosity of a contract, I thought they were seeing something him I didn't see. I guess it still holds true.

[D'z Nutz]

Round three predictions now!

Western Conference
Phoenix Coyotes (3) vs LA Kings (8)

Eastern Conference
New York Rangers (1) vs New Jersey Devils (6)
