Enter the NHL Playoff Pickem: The playoffs are underway in hockey and the SportsFilter NHL Playoff Pickem has returned. Pick the teams that will win each series, the games each series takes, and three prop bets. First prize is an official game puck and eternal glory. The first picks are due Wednesday night.
Sorry about starting this late. I didn't realize the playoffs were here until the weekend and I had a bunch of other stuff I had to do first. Go Stars!

rumple: Your picks don't work. You have the Wild and Vegas both winning, but they play each other. Use the link post title to enter your picks.

Must be something to do with the exchange rates, that the Canadian teams don't start until tonight & tomorrow.
