Looking good!

i'm not one to brag, but things are going pretty good in my bracket; i could go 8 for 8!

so far i have pittsburgh and boston in the east, and detroit and vancouver in the west.

if the rangers continue their destiny to pull a choke job worthy of their city mates the NY Mets, then i'm 3 out of 4 in the east.

i suppose NJ will win, but i don't know. i sort of don't care. both those teams are in my Top 5 Teams That Should Not Have Won the Stanley Cup anyway

in the west i have the canucks and detroit. and if the hawks come through - and i think they will, though it may take 7 - i'll have 3 of 4 there too.

about the hawks; did you see the beating they laid on phaneuf last night? i enjoyed that. and that dustin byfuglien is a fantastic hockey player! and so is patrick sharp, and ben eager. i predict in two years they sign luongo as a UFA and that team will rule the league.

so that just leaves those pesky ducks - see my Top 5 above...

go sharks!

There are a few of us at 4-0 so far. Looks like some of the other series are going to 7 games:

- Washington-NYR isn't a surprise. I think the Caps will win at home.
- Sharks-Anaheim. Similarly, I think that San Jose will overcome their bad start and win game #7 at home. Then watch out for the Sharks!
- Looks like NJ-Carolina will go 7 as well. Again, I think the Devils will win at home.
- But beat-up Calgary might lose game 6 in their home rink. If they manage to prolong the series, it looks like the Black Hawks will also win #7 at home.

Turns out it's a good thing to go for home advantage in the regular season!

In each of the spreadsheets, I'm highlighting winners in green, and losers in an ugly purple colour.
