Clearly, I blew my round one predictions, I think I mentioned something about delusional :)

East

  • Rangers over Washington
  • Jersey over Philly

West

  • Phoenix over Nashville (I would be happy to see this reversed, though)
  • Blues over LA

Now for the revisionist history, Rangers over Blues in the final round.

Another bold prediction? Martin Brodeur will not retire at the end of this season.

I made my predictions earlier this week, and figured I should get them out before Philly sweeps Pittsburgh!

In the East

  • Rangers over Ottawa
  • Jersey over Florida
  • Pittsburgh over Philly (see intro paragraph)
  • Boston over Washington

In the West

  • Vancouver over LA (they already trail this series, and game 3 just commenced)
  • Chicago over Phoenix
  • Detroit over Nashville
  • St. Louis over San Jose

As I stated last year, this is a combination of support the home town players, gut feeling, team talent and perhaps a little delusional thinking.

Speaking of delusional, my bold prediction for the final matchup?  The 1994 grudge match, Vancouver and Rangers, with Vancouver coming out victorious this time.  Methinks I might have to offer a new final matchup next round.

Hey All!

I am getting my head shaved again on May 5.  I have been doing this for about ten years now, and it has just become tradition.

If you want to contribute to paying for my haircut, and would like to make a donation, please follow this link.

Thanks so much!

 

The last time was the last time that Montreal won three in a row, and that is quite sad!

Since then? Timmy Thomas trying to differentiate between a personal and a public life on Facebook, Scotty Gomez finally scored, and the Jets are nipping on the heels of an 8th place playoff berth!

Life as it ought to unfolds without interruption.

It’s a streak!

Montreal has won it’s third game in a row, sure beats a losing streak!

Price was in good form, and offense did their stuff! Keep up the good work.

After the worst start in 70 years, Montreal finally wins their second game of the season, and in the process, Carey Price gets career victory 100!

A typical Montreal fan, I love the team when they are playing good, and their biggest critic when they are playing bad.

Congrats Habs, play about 60 more games just like that one!

 

Or is it the other way around?

Losing streaks really suck, especially at the beginning of the season.   Injuries have depleated the blue line, the offense can’t find the back of the net!

Keep it up, and you will be inovoking the 1968-2011 Maple Leaf chant “There is always next year!”

I am a life long Montreal Canadiens fan, well at least since the early 70s, that story will follow another time.  Calgary has been my second team since 2002, that story too shall follow.

This year I shall add the Winnipeg Jets to my team to cheer for.  As employment has taken me there off and on for the last 20 years, I used to go to the game as the schedule permitted.

Now that the fans of Winnipeg got their Jets back, you can count on me as an honourary citizen!

GO JETS GO

 

Not too bad, I called Boston and Vancouver to win, and nailed it.

My prediction for the finals?  Vancouver Canucks, in 7 games, of course.  Nothing beats the drama of winning in game 7!

After round 2, I had 75% success rate, getting better!

For this round, my predictions are, in the East, Boston will beat Tampa Bay, in the West, Vancouver will beat San Jose.

I waffled on my last round, declaring Detroit would win, while secretly hoping for San Jose. I reserver the right to change my mind during this round.
