Round One Prediction Results:
Washington vs. Montreal -- Caps in 5 Wrong team, off by two games (-2)
New Jersey vs. Philadelphia -- Flyers in 6 Right team, off by one game (+1)
Buffalo vs. Boston -- Sabres in 7 Wrong team, off by 1 game (-1)
Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa -- Penguins in 5 Right team, off by 1 game (-1)
San Jose vs. Colorado -- San Jose in 5 Right team, off by 1 game (-1)
Chicago vs. Nashville -- Preds in 7 Wrong team, off by 1 game (+1)
Vancouver vs. Los Angeles -- Kings in 7 Wrong team, off by 1 game (-1)
Phoenix vs. Detroit -- Wings in 5 Right team, off by 2 games (-2)
So I was 50/50 in predicting which teams would win. Hey, at least I didn't do worse than random chance.
I think it's kind of interesting that in the West teams seeds 1, 2, 3, and 5 advanced and in the East seeds 4, 6, 7, and 8 advanced. So the West is shaping up about like you'd expect (1 vs. 5 meeting and 2 vs. 3 meeting) while the East semi-finals will be a 4 vs. 8 matchup and a 6 vs. 7. Guess it wasn't a good year to win your division in the East!
And for the heck of it again --
