Playoff Predictions - Round 1
My lack of inspiration has lead to a lifting of the hockey ban.
Sorry Jon.
Eastern Conference
Buffalo vs. New York Islanders - Buffalo (I let Mindi pick this one)
New Jersey vs. Tampa Bay - New Jersey
Atlanta vs. New York Rangers - New York
Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh - Ottawa
Western Conference
Detroit vs. Calgary - Detroit*
Anaheim vs. Minnesota - Anaheim
Vancouver vs. Dallas - Vancouver
Nashville vs. San Jose - San Jose
*I would normally go for the Canadian team but Calgary has made my job more difficult and I would like to see Burt have a chance at redemption, so suck it Flames.
So that would make the following matchups for Round 2 (Conference Semifinals)
Eastern Conference
Buffalo vs. New York - New York
New Jersey vs. Ottawa - Ottawa
Western Conference
Detroit vs. San Jose - Detroit
Vancouver vs. Anaheim - Vancouver
Thus Round 3 (Conference Finals) could look like…
Eastern Conference
New York vs. Ottawa - Ottawa
Western Conference
Detroit vs. Vancouver - Vancouver
So in conclusion I predict Vancouver will win the cup in a contest with Ottawa.
It’s not Da Colbert Code but it’ll do. I may revise at the end of Round 1.
