EHM The Blue Line

Welcome to TBL's Playoff Prediction League!

We haven't had one of these in the past seasons, mostly because we didn't have an addon to the site for you guys to put your selections in.
This year I am doing a minor version where you simply post who you think will win the play-off series in the NHL and how many games it will take.

You will receive two points if you predict the correct team and the number of games,
and one point for just the correct team.

Voting that comes in after the first game has started won't count and you are not allowed to edit your posts.

Bring on your predictions!

Eastern Conference

(1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders
(2) Montreal Canadiens vs. (7) Ottawa Senators
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) New York Rangers
(4) Boston Bruins vs. (5) Toronto Maple Leafs

Western Conference

(1) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (8) Minnesota Wild
(2) Anaheim Ducks vs. (7) Detroit Red Wings
(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) San Jose Sharks
(4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Los Angeles Kings

Sounds like a great idea. I'll cast my votes tomorrow.

Voting that comes in after the first game has been played won't count

You mean after the first game has started right?

Yes, I do.
I'll change the wording on it

I tried following the NHL closer this year but again lost interest, so I feel like I'm pretty much just guessing

Eastern Conference

(1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders Penguins in 5
(2) Montreal Canadiens vs. (7) Ottawa Senators Sens in 6
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) New York Rangers Rangers in 7
(4) Boston Bruins vs. (5) Toronto Maple Leafs Bruins in 6

Western Conference

(1) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (8) Minnesota Wild Hawks in 5
(2) Anaheim Ducks vs. (7) Detroit Red Wings Ducks in 7
(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) San Jose Sharks Canucks in 6
(4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Los Angeles Kings Kings in 6

I've never done one of these on the site before. Gives me something to look forward to in the playoffs!

Here are my guesses:

Eastern Conference

(1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (8) New York Islanders - Penguins in 4

Haha, you're probably right. There are 14 newcomers in the team. Only one NHL player...
