Round Two Playoff Predictions!

April 29th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

Some upsets were made, some bold decisions proved costly and others paid huge dividends. What does Round 2 of the NHL postseason have to offer? It’s a close race so far, here are the standings after the first round:

  1. Tranucks with 13 points
  2. Chad Klassen and Kyle Gagan with 10 points
  3. Alex Strohschein, Jack, Leon with 9 points each
  4. Raph and Vic with 8 points each
  5. Hora, Kyle Gagan, Ray Ray Superstar and Gio with 7 points each
  6. Matt Lee, Hei Wang and Hosea with 6 points each
  7. Shawn and Dave Roberts with 5 points each

Some of you were also fortunate enough to predict a series perfectly, earning three points. Here’s some of your great predictions:

  • Leon correctly guessed that Detroit would win in four games, with Johan Franzen scoring the winner.
  • Tranucks AND Alex Strohschein managed to call that Carolina would triumph in seven games, with Eric Staal getting the clincher.

It’s still a close race, and it’s anybody’s game. You can tell, however, that getting a series bang on puts you in the upper echelon of the standings. With Round Two featuring a handful of teams with momentum, the opportunity is there for upsets to be made. Make your predictions wisely! Here is the scoring system for Round Two:

  1. You score TWO POINTS for correctly guessing the winning team for each series.
  2. You score TWO POINTS for correctly guessing the amount of games the team won in.
  3. You score THREE POINTS for correctly guessing which player scores the winning goal in the deciding game.

Again, simply copy and paste your predictions into the comments section. Good luck!
