HF NYR Bracket Challenge

[Fitzy]

I just look at the NYR over St. Louis prediction and think that would be Kafka on wheels for the objective watchers.

lol so much homerism in these picks

it is the curse because when I predict NHL for some reason Rangers are always on top.... but NCAA i don't have any favorites... or idea who is good lol

 

[Richter Scale]

Col over Min in 6
STL over Chi in 6
Ana over Dal in 5
SJ over LA in 7

Det over Bos in 6
TB over MTL in 5
Pitt over Clb in 6
NYR over Philly in 6

--

STL over Col in 5
SJ over Ana in 6

Det over TB in 7
NYR over Pitt in 7

--

STL over SJ in 7
Det over NYR in 6

--

STL over Det in 7
Tie Breaker: 31 goals scored in this series.


In my head, the first round matchup I struggled most to pick was Bos/Det. It feels like that could be a very good series even though I don't see it going 7 games. If Detroit loses to Boston in the first round -- then just replace them with Boston in the rest of my bracket.

[Inferno]

mines attached...

i know its just 1 game (or in Bawstuns case 0)...but so far i've picked every first round right in terms of who's leading.

go me.

i rule.

you suck.

 

[GordonGecko]

Me too (see 2 posts above), so far I am 7-0 in my bracket prediction after one game

 

[GordonGecko]

congrats to -SKS-, only guy with the habs sweep, leads contest with 13 pts

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

So far, my Blackhawks over Blues in 4 prediction looks awful, haha.

 

[Inferno]

boooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

My Kings over Sharks in 7 prediction also looks bad. Sharks up 3-0 in their series now after the Marleau goal in OT.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I had Pens in 4 and Tampa in 6.

Egg on my face.

 

[SKS]

congrats to -SKS-, only guy with the habs sweep, leads contest with 13 pts

Thank you !! I guess it should be easy cruising after that hurdle is out of the way

 

[Clown Fiesta]

I had Pens in 4 and Tampa in 6.

Egg on my face.

I had MTL and Pens in 5 on my unofficial sticky note bracket. I really muffed up the west though. Thought LA would take it in 7, had the Wild in 5 and Hawks in six. I guess two of those are still possible but I'm not too convinced LA can come back from 0-3 lol.

 

[SKS]

I just look at the NYR over St. Louis prediction and think that would be Kafka on wheels for the objective watchers.

Hahaha, I am still pleasantly surprised by how many of us show unwavering faith in the bracket though. The negativity so often voiced here leads you to believe a majority would have us out in 4.

 

[GordonGecko]

sorry SKS you are no longer even on the front page

20 new leaders tied at 23 with the Habs & Bruins+correct # of games

By the way watch out for Yisman, the dude is a professional sports handicapper. He's got like millions of virtual vcash on another website he's pretty good

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Well, if the Kings win this game, my Kings in 7 prediction could really happen

 

[highandwide]

my games are all messed up but predictions right so far.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I am on the verge of having guessed 7 series correctly, number of games and all.

 

[Thirty One]

Looks like all your St. Louis - Rangers Final predictions were ambitious after all.
