ICEnogstications

Simple stuff: Just pick winners at each series in each round.

I will add them up round by round. The poster with the most TOTAL right picks all the way to and including the Stanley Cup wins this tournament. Tie breaker is: the total number of wins and losses in the Stanley Cup seven-game series by each of the two finalist teams

Here are my wining picks (in yellow) for the first round:

MINNESOTA CHICAGO
LOS ANGELES ST. LOUIS
DETROIT ANAHEIM
TORONTO BOSTON
NY ISLANDERS PITTSBURGH
SAN JOSE VANCOUVER
OTTAWA MONTRÉAL
NY RANGERS WASHINGTON

Yes, I am a Habs fan. So I will pick them to win all the way to the Lord Stanley's Trophy.

What's the tie-breaker?

Chicago over Minnesota
Los Angeles over St. Louis
Detroit over Anaheim
Boston over Toronto
Pittsburgh over the Islanders
Vancouver over San Jose
Ottawa over Montreal
Rangers over Capitals

Go Habs, Go!

But, if you have two ICEnogstigators who are tied for the most correct series predictions after it's all said and done, how will you select a winner? By the finals, you will already know the number of wins and losses of the two finalist teams to that point. So you will only have that one, best of seven, series to determine an ICEnogstigation champ.

My picks...

Chicago
Los Angeles
Anaheim
Boston
Pittsburgh
San Jose
Ottawa (BEAT THE HABS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Washington

NHL Hockey = Dead to me.

1st criteria total number of wins.

2nd criteria number of wins in the final Stanley Cup series.

3rd criteria score of the final game of the Stanley Cup finals.

If they remain tied, they deserve the tie.

By the way they are ICEnostications and ICEnosticators.

Gators are the ones in the U of Florida!

No worries. Nobody's perfect.

That's why the Hartford Whalers moved away! No support from New England States!

... and? I'm sure there's a point here, somewhere....

Actually, they're ICEnogstications and ICEnogsticators.

Only three ICEnogsticators???

I think Chicago and Pitt have to be the favourites in each Division (West and East, respectively) but I sincerely feel that with Ovechkin playing as he has over the latter part of the season, Washington Caps are a VERY DANGEROUS team.

It will take a few wins from the Caps to awake the homies in DC.

IceNog would be a great name for a medieval/Scandanavian inspired drink.

you thought I was a gentleman? Meeeee?????

I remember like it was yesterday getting knocked out by the Habs.. so of course I'd NEVER root for them and ALWAYS wish them the most losses. RIC, if it makes you feel any better your a cool guy.

You certainly looked like one in your wedding suit!

And being a Redskinfan brther, you had all the credentials because all my fellow Skins fans are good in my book.

But it is OK because you put your ICEnogstications and are walking the walk in this tournament!

Commentary:

MINNESOTA v. CHICAGO: an easy expected win for Chicago and they delivered. Still the favourites to win it all.

LOS ANGELES v. ST. LOUIS: After a good season the Blues disappoint. The Champs are up to defend their title. Others beware!

DETROIT v. ANAHEIM: A very even series won more with guts than skill.

TORONTO v. BOSTON: I mean ... How can THIS happen??? Bruins were down and out by THREE goals at the end of game SEVEN! Even as a Habs fan, I now have sympathy for the Leafs and their fans. Most horrendous elimination of this round among both conferences. Ouch!

NY ISLANDERS v. PITTSBURGH: Pitt looked beatable by a good team. Islanders played with courage.

SAN JOSE v. VANCOUVER: Disastrous playoffs for the Cannucks. A few will lose their jobs because they were expected to win and instead were swept in 4 games.

OTTAWA v. MONTRÉAL: The better team won. Habs were hurt, injured and did not capitalise on many wasted opportunities and dominance over long stretches. Ottawa earned it fair and square.

NY RANGERS v. WASHINGTON: Next to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington had to break, YET AGAIN, its fans hearts. A series basically in the pocket was righfully taken away from them. I blame poor coaching and little help to Ovechkin. How many times and ways can they figure out to disappoint and frustrate their fans? And Ovechkin ... ineffective in the series? Give me a break!

Here are my wining picks (in yellow) for the second round:

OTTAWA PITTSBURGH
SAN JOSE LOS ANGELES
DETROIT CHICAGO
NY RANGERS BOSTON

What a series between Chicago and Detroit. It was fantastic.

3 - 5 and 4 - 0 makes it a cumulative = 7 - 5

We are tied so far.

Winners in yellow. Make my day, Joe.
