Finals round rules are as follows: - 4 points for picking the team that wins the Cup. - 2 bonus point for picking the correct number of games the series lasts (You still have to get the Cup winner right). - 2 points each for picking the player from each team who scores the most goals for their team in the series (pick one from each team, possible for 4 points here). - 5 points for picking the Conn Smythe winner. - 5 bonus points for getting all picks correct (that's getting the winning team right, the series length right, both goal scorers right and the Conn Smythe winner right). 20 points are at stake here, so it's still anybody's game. Maybe. I don't know, just make your goddamn picks.

Hmmm. I am going to be in a remote pup tent until the end of June and miss most of the finals (which look to be excellent hockey, dammit). So l won't be able to thrill in victory or agonize in defeat until it doesn't matter anymore, anyway. Pittsburgh in 6 Datsyuk & Crosby as goal scorers Malkin for the Conn Smythe (Maybe I should just pick exactly the same as NoMich.... heh) Drop the Puck!

Oh nice. I jumped up into contention for a medal. Doubt I can win this with that point disadvantage, but here goes: DET in SEVEN Datsyuk and Malkin Osgood for MVP (Though it's a tough one. I'd say Osgood would win it if the series lasts no longer than 5. Otherwise, who knows. A similar case can be made for Fleury -- who'd have ever imagined that?) Is Franzen expected to be back for Game 1? One more prediction: this is going to be a great series, even if the potential for a 4,5 game blow out is there.

Wings in 6 Zetterberg/Malkin Datsyuk wins the hardware. (With 7 helpers and 3 goals in the series.) (Please don't hold me to that, but I should get 20 extra points if it's right.)

So, like, if no one for Pittsburgh scores a goal do we all get one point?
