Saw some people putting their predictions in a couple of other threads and thought it might be a good idea to aggregate them all in one place so we can more easily make fun of the bad picks. :sarcasm:

To make it fun, we can do this round by round and pick the number of games the winner clinches each series. I'll keep the score and the winner will get one big fat like at the end of the Cup games. Scoring:

3 points for the correct winner of the series in the number of games predicted
1 point for the correct winner in all other situations
0 points for the incorrect winner

1 bonus point for picking the first player to score in each series
1 bonus point for picking the correct number of shutouts in the series​

Tie breaker will be picking the closest to the correct number of total goals between the two teams in the finals.

Picks have to be made by 6pm Eastern Standard Time of the day of the first game in each round.

Made a group on the NHL bracket challenge so you don't have to keep track yourself if anyone wants to join.

NHL 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Bracket Challenge

Edit: Also if you want to change your bracket name so it doesn't show your first name, just go to the bracket on the page you make it and it'll say "edit"

Only need the finals total goals when we get to that round. Unless you tell me to, I'll ignore this final goals total and wait until that round to see what you pick.

Kuhnackl opens for the Isles. But offsides. I think.
Eberle breaks it instead
