Panthers have been very very impressive in the post season and will win if it goes to a game seven but I don't think Vegas will let it go to a game seven.

Have to love how last weeks first and second place holders finished the week with 2 total points. lol. Of course, rcade did the heavy lifting with those 2 points as I had the ever impressive goose egg.

I have not been following the NHL playoffs much at all this year. There's this other game with a round bouncy ball that has caught my attention. Somehow I have gotten to 4th place in the pick 'em without having a clue. Ignorance is truly bliss. I'm picking Las Vegas just so Bruins fans can weep, wail, and gnash their teeth over the irony of a coaching change.
