OtF Second Round Prediction Tracker

by OddManRush on Apr 29, 2011 9:30 AM EDT

And so here we are - Round Two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Once again, we're keeping track of everyone's picks. Be sure to drop a comment if I have anything marked down in error, and feel free to discuss the picks, your reasoning behind how you think each series will go, or discuss which team's playoff beards look better.

Thanks for getting me in there!

Wow, no one can decide on San Jose – Detroit, huh?? I’m really interested to see that series!

May everybody who picked DET over SJ...

… hold their breath until they turn teal when the Sharks win the series!

I really, really want to see SJ-NAS in the WC finals.

Sharks are looking really strong right now. Although I had it in 6 games, that was the one matchup I had the hardest time with.

You chose not to include my picks

That was the correct decision, cheers

Well, I want to drive folks over to your blog to read your picks instead of seeing them here! They are very much worth the read. D8 and D4, indeed.

From your blog:

After the handshake line Jerred Smithson will challenge the Canucks to a double or nothing staring contest. He will win.

This ^^

Whoa, you got my picks mixed up!

Per the previous thread, I’ve got Caps in 6, Flyers in 7, Wings in 6 and Canucks in 5. Must’ve got the columns mixed up. :)

Fixing now.

Sorry about that. Golly, good thing I’m not an accountant.

by OddManRush on Apr 30, 2011 11:57 AM EDT up reply actions

Done. Later today when I have time I think I’d better check the others as well.

by OddManRush on Apr 30, 2011 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Thanks! :)

But after last nights results, maybe I would have been better off with the way the picks were originally listed, LOL! :D

by Grizzledbear on Apr 30, 2011 2:11 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions

My Wings & Caps picks are in deep, deep trouble right now. :o

by Grizzledbear on May 1, 2011 10:08 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

Looks like the Wings and Caps

will both have to win 4 straight for my predictions to work…yikes.

I live in the OC.

At least your Boston pick is looking good……..I’m getting killed in that one too! :o

by Grizzledbear on May 4, 2011 2:28 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions

Yikes, we could have 3 sweeps in the 2nd round now that the Wings just lost in OT. Good thing nobody picked any of these series in 4 games!

by Grizzledbear on May 4, 2011 11:13 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

You must have missed my predictions. I picked Nashville to win all of these series.

So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.

Wings giving my picking them to win that series some 2nd life with tonights win! Could the Sharks choke yet again? :D

by Grizzledbear on May 9, 2011 12:33 AM EDT via mobile reply actions

Wooh, got Tampa right!! Knew they could do it!

by davisca on May 9, 2011 1:22 AM EDT reply actions

Wow I am getting decimated this round :(

by IG-PRED8 on May 11, 2011 2:38 PM EDT reply actions

If the wings win

I will be the only person with 0 points in the second round :(

by IG-PRED8 on May 11, 2011 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions

Dirk will be running away with this thing if the Sharks win tomorrow……….need Wings to come thru! :D

by Grizzledbear on May 11, 2011 8:31 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

Several of us got a big fat 0 this round. I held no delusions of proficiency here.

by OddManRush on May 13, 2011 9:29 AM EDT up reply actions

I’ve completed the final calculations for this round. Also, I’m assuming that there will be another post with staff predictions as was done for the first two rounds. If so, then we can all put our next round guesses in the comments of that post. Or here – it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll be checking each location for our picks.
