note, just moving to top of page, original post time was 12:38am today.
Before we move ahead to the Conference Semi-Finals, why don’t you check out how your predictions turned out for the first round of the playoffs.
If someone could do a calculation of who had the most right and leave it in the comments below, that would be great and appreciated.
Just like the last round, a template is below, just copy and paste and then put your answers in the appropriate spots.
Since the first puck drops on Round 2 Friday night, (Nashville/Phoenix), it would be great if you can get your answers in before the game starts.
Predict the outcome of each Conference Semi-Finals series and for special credit, feel free to include how many games it will take for each series.
Eastern Conference
1) NYR vs. 7) WSH
5) PHI vs. 6) NJ
Western Conference
2) STL vs. 8) LA
3) PHX vs.4) NSH

I’m sticking with Nashville, but given how Smith was against the Hawks…the PHX-NSH series will depend greatly on which goaltender is the hottest.
