I think it was pretty impressive that when I got the series correct, I also got the number of games right, too. That's some impressive grouping.

Washington in 6
Philadelphia in 6
Vancouver in 4
San Jose in 7

Water and Sanitation (WASH) in 6

Public Health Infrastructure (PHI) in 7

With no Sid (or hopeful return) to market now, #8 is going to be the MSM's focal point, so I'll be rooting for the Bolts but I'm picking Washington in 6
What's the over/under for PIMS in this series? Philadelphia in 7
My head says Vancouver but my heart says Nashville in 5
At the beginning of every season some "experts" say it's the Sharks year to go far and it's the year the Devils miss the playoffs...so...San Jose in 7

Washington in 6

Philadelphia in 7 with Boston blowing another 3-0 lead (somewhere out there last night a virgin gave birth because you know miracles were happening everywhere if the B's didn't choke in the first round)

Nashville in 6

Detroit in 5

Sharks are better structured to handle Red Wings this year.

Canucks I think are going to fall down after that near epic FAIL.

Not sure I can come back from a nine point deficit but let's see what we can do :)

As opposed to last year?

Sharks are EVEN better structured to handle Red Wings this year.

So there.

Upset special has Tampa Bay pulling it out over Washington in 6.
Bruins will muscle up with Flyers and win it in 6.
Luongo showed in game 7 that he is still a very good goaltender, and leads Vancouver over Nashville in 7.
Detroit surprised me with the way they handled Phoenix, and they will continue over Sharks in 5.

Bolts in 6, Sharks in 7, Preds in 7, Flyers in 6

I'd like to switch my choice for the Washington/Tampa series. I would like to keep it in line with my confidence pool picks, and take Tampa Bay in 7 games.

Thanks, everyone's in. Still time for anyone who missed the first round to get picks in for this round, though...
