...and as Howard sinks slowly in the standings...
San Jose in 7 (thus saving at least one line feed)
Longest game will require 1 OT period (and not much of that with these 2 clubs)
First goal by Marleau
Conn Smythe Trophy goes to Jones (Goaltenders seem to win this quite often)
Most goals scored by Pavelski
Most assists by Thornton
Best +/- Vlasic
Most PIM Wingels
Best save % Jones (Which leads to the choice of Conn Smythe winner)
Total goals in the series will be 67 (and if I were betting, I'd take the "over")
Everything should be plural.
Which sorely tempts me to enter the above once more.

Hopefully I got my picks in under the wire. We were out of town all day long and then dropped the daughter off at grandma's so we could go see "Civil War." Went specifically to see Black Panther and was not disappointed, but man, that Vision character is pretty compelling (I am the Jon Snow of super power characters, I know nothing.)

Yes! I did make it.

Who had Rust to score first? Anyone? Anyone?

If NoMich gets 9 points this round, my OCD will ship him a jar of Kentucky's finest burgoo.
posted by MrFrisby at 09:28 PM on May 30, 2016
Ha! That was the first thing I noticed as well.
