Sweet got me a brand new @gmail.com addy. Blogshares is once again taking up most of my online surfing... up to $100 Billion ish again. Hoping to hit the Trillion Blogdollar amount by the time June rolls around.... we shall see. I seem to be sucking badly in my 2nd round picks, Montreal is looking dead in the water, so is Colorado, ouch. Both Colorado and Montreal's goaltending is looking rather ordinary this round. Philly's doing well and Detroit vs Calgary is looking to be a long series.
Well I better get my predictions up for round 2, did ok for round 1 5 out of 8... Sigh Canucks are out. I have a feeling that some wholesale changes are probably in line for this team. Even with Bertuzzi out for the playoffs the team should have been able to beat Calgary... Defense is still a problem, goaltending is suspect, so it really doesn't matter how many goals you manage to score, if you can't keep a fewer number of them out of your own net your not going to win a lot of games... as was shown in this series. Anyhow predictions for round 2:
Eastern Conference
#1 Tampa Bay ---- #7 Montreal - I'll say Montreal in a squeaker... 7 games. Both goalies can be very good if they are on and if the Habs can shut down the top scorer in the league the way they did to Thorton in the last round... they have a very good chance of this upset happening.
#3 Philadelphia ---- #4 Toronto - I'm not much of a Toronto fan so I"m hoping that Philly kicks some butt. 5 Games
Western Conference
#1 Detroit ---- #6 Calgary - Though I would love nothing more than to pick a good upset here ... I dunno, Detroit has a lot of firepower and I'm still not too sure of Calgary's defense. 5 Games
#2 San Jose ---- #4 Colorado - Colorado all the way... I'm sticking to this prediction. Goaltending the only possible question mark for Colorado appears to be solid. 4 Games.
Tis the season.... For the NHL playoffs to begin :) A time for the 16 qualifying teams to try to make up for a lackluster regular season peformance, or to see if they can keep up a decent peformance.
My perinnial (losing) favorites the Vancouver Canucks have made it in to this post season ranked #3 in the Western Conference. Their first round opponents, Calgary Flames riding a bit of a hot streak going in.... we shall see I suppose how it turns out. Here's how the matchups start and my predictions for the first round :)
Stay tuned....
