NHL First Round Complete
Posted by tgirsch

Let’s take a quick look at how Kevin and I did with our predictions:

EAST:

• Canadiens over Bruins in 7 — Kevin picked the Habs in 6, and I picked them in 4. So we both had the team right, but Kevin was closer on the degree of difficulty.
• Penguins over Senators in 4 — Kevin picked the Penguins in 6, while I picked them in 5. So again, we were wrong about the degree of difficulty, but this time in the opposite direction.
• Flyers over Capitals in 7 — Lookie there, I got one exactly right! Kevin, on the other hand, screwed the pooch, picking the Capitals in 5.
• Rangers over Devils in 5 — This time, it was my turn to screw the pooch, as I had the Devils in 6. Kevin correctly picked the Rangers, but had them winning in 7 games.

WEST:

• Red Wings over Predators in 6 — Hey, another one exactly correct! This time, both Kevin and I nailed it.
• Sharks over Flames in 7 — Again, Kevin and I both got the right team, but were wrong about difficulty. I had it taking 5 games, while Kevin had a four-game sweep.
• Avalanche over Wild in 6 — Kevin had this exactly right, while I had it going to 7 games. But we both correctly picked the upset here.
• Stars over Ducks in 6 — This was my second pooch-screw, as I picked the Ducks in 6. Kevin correctly picked the Stars, but had it taking 7 games.

Final Tally: Kevin 7 out of 8, with one exactly right; Tom 6 out of 8, with two exactly right.

Hopefully we’ll have our bad round two predictions later.
