Round 1 all done!

The last two Game 7s are done, and we're all finished with Round 1. So far this is how we're doing:

Adam: 3 wins + 5 losses
Adrian: 7 wins + 1 loss (!)
Bert & Ev: 5 wins + 3 losses
Dean: 5 wins + 3 losses
Jesse: 7 wins + 1 loss (!)
Jordan: 2 win + 6 losses
Lane: 5 wins + 3 losses
Lee: 3 wins + 5 losses
Marc: 7 wins + 1 loss (!)
Sarah: 5 wins + 3 losses
Sylvianne: 4 wins + 4 losses

So the three winners of the first round are Adrian, Marc, and Jesse. But Marc looks like he has the advantage with his picks in the next two rounds. What will you spend your $55 on, Marc?

The series that seemed to give us the most trouble were the two that finished last night. Too many of us assumed San Jose would roll over Anaheim, and that Calgary would mop up Chicago. But both of last night's winners look awfully good: strong power-plays, strong goal-tending, tough, fast, talented. Both Detroit and Vancouver better take care in the next round!

Meanwhile, what a great finish in the Carolina-New Jersey series. Lots of action in the last minutes of these games!

Our totals so far: 53 wins + 35 losses (60%)
