The scores for round one are online. If anyone has current email addresses for NoMich, Howard_T and ic23b, let them know round two picks are due tonight. I will contact them too, but a lot of people don't keep their Spofi email current.

Minnesota vs Chicago: I should go with Chicago, but Minnesota took down St. Louis, a team with better talent but poor goaltending. The situation seems to be the same with Blackhawks. Minnesota in 6. Kane the scorer. +1
Anaheim vs Calgary: Thought Vancouver could eliminate Calgary. Instead the flames toasted the Canucks. Flames will not roast the Ducks. Anaheim in 5. +2 Perry to be the lamplighter. +1
Montreal vs Tampa Bay: Ottawa did not do what I thought they were capable of doing, that is to steal a series against Montreal. Instead, the hockey gods, and perhaps some of them were wearing striped shirts, deemed it meet that Canadiens should once again advance. Tampa Bay's young talent can skate and score with Montreal, but will they? I will bite the bullet and say no. Montreal in 7. Max Pacioretty tops the goal list.
New York Rangers vs Washington: Capitals did exactly what I thought they would against Islanders, but it was more difficult for them than it should have been. They will play no better against Rangers, and this will spell their doom. New York in 5 +1. Brassard to be high scorer.
I have to go with the chalk for the goaltending. Low GAA goes to Price.

Look over the first round post to make sure your score is correct. Tommytrump leads after getting six of eight series correct, including three in the right number of games. Tahoemoj got six of seven right, overlooking Rangers-Penguins, and is in second. No one got any of the three top goal scorers. Alex Ovechkin disappointed many.
