Blueshirt Banter's Second Playoff Pick-em!

Okay, so we did this last year and it was a huge success, so we are bringing it back again!

Well now just because the Rangers are out of the playoffs doesn't mean you can't keep coming back here! And to ensure that you do we will be doing a little contest. A playoff pick-em!

Below you are going to see my picks for the first round. In the comments section you will put your picks for the first round. Comments will be closed at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, right before the first match-up.

So here is how it works.

You post which team you think is going to win and in how many games. You will do this for each round, we will have posts up (like this one) to let you know where to post your picks. It's kind of like a bracket, except we do it by round, so you will know who will be in the second round, and third and so on.

You will receive points based on two things. If you choose the correct team to win the series you get two points. If you choose the correct team in the correct number of games you get an additional 2 points. You get no points for guessing the wrong team but the right number of games.

(This was the example from last year so I will use it again) So for example: If you guessed the Capitals over the Rangers in 7 then you would get 4 points. If you guessed the Capitals over the Rangers in 5 you would get 2 points. If you guessed the Rangers over the Capitals in 7 you would get no points 

At the end of each round we will tally up the points and deem a winner. The winner will get an additional 5 points added to their score. Then we will run through the same process in the second round, and the third, and then the finals. The bonus points are not accumulative, they are given to the winners of the round only.

The final winner will be the person with the most ACCUMULATED points over the four rounds. The 5 point bonus for winning the rounds are the only other bonus points that will be rewarded. If you enter the pick-em in the second round or later, you will simply start from zero points so make sure that doesn't happen to you!

The prize will be a T-shirt, and bragging rights (which I currently own)!

You want your name on the cup? Then do it!

2008-2009: Joe Fortunato

My picks! (UPDATE: Guys had a hard drive issue last night, and my final edit didn't go through. The obvious change is LA and Vancouver (typo) and I'm giving Boston one more game. Just letting you know that the changes didn't come from nowhere.)

If you had center ice

youd see that detroit has been playing like a top seed. They will take phoenix in 5. Bryzgalov will steal one.

Vancouver has also been an extremely hot team. Luongo will do better than Quick…

Last year I made a bold rpedicition of Carolina over Boston in 7

and those extra 2 points won me the cup. You have to live on the edge, I like Ottawa’s team, and I think that Pitt is due for a bit of a flop. I might be wrong, but eh

I like Ottawa’s club too and I think they went 2-2 against Pitt this year – on the other hand, Kovalev is out. Good luck on a repeat title.
(I’m surprised at how few people picked Philly – they went 5-1 against NJ this year – though most of that was before Kovalchuk.)

Kovalev was off and on all season

I know I’ll get killed for montreal, but I’m going with goaltending and the thought that mon’s pp wll do better against the caps pk then the caps pp against mon’s pk. Plus if Theodore is in net in montreal, I think he might implode if something goes wrong, he may want this one too much to stay calm. I admit it’s a long shot.

by Rags to riches? on Apr 13, 2010 11:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'm surprised by it

but it wouldn’t be unheard of. I just think that Washington is WAY better than Montreal. I wouldn’t have minded out chances at them though

i agree wash. is much better...

but montreal played well against them this year (2-2 and all tight games i think) and i just dont like the caps team in the playoffs, i don’t care what the hockey pundits say, i think their defensive play blows. plus they have to increase their intensity in a hurry, so why not go for the big upset.

by Rags to riches? on Apr 13, 2010 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions  

and I agree that their defensive play blows

and that they wont win the cup, but I think they are too good to lose out to Montreal

Caps beat Habs in 6 <—- Halak’s gonna steal a game or two for em like Lundqvist did last season

Devils over Flyers in 5 <—— As much as I want Fatty to lose, I don’t see the Flyers penetrating their defense like they did us

Sabres over Bruins in 4 <—— Bruins without Savard and Bergeron… who’s gonna carry em outta the first round? Wideman?

Pens over Sens in 6 <—— I haven’t been too impressed with Ottawa, but they’ll give the Pens a little scare here.

Avs over Sharks in 6 <—- Still think Thornton’s gonna be a non-factor

Hawks over Preds in 5 <—- If Chicago can have some faith in their goaltending and it actually comes through, this could be an onslaught.

Wings over Yotes in 6 <—- Wings are finally healthy (mostly),

Kings over Nucks in 7 <—— This one’s gonna feel like a gauntlet. gonna turn into a goaltending dual probably.. a couple of games going to double/triple overtime and shit :P

Those are mine, wish me luck

rollin with Philly too. the regular season is one thing…

Philly won the season series 5-1, though that was mostly before Kovalchuk.

by Joe1969 on Apr 13, 2010 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

 but the matchups favor the Devils I think. Who the hell knows? Are there actual Vegas odds on this game? There must be….When I scroll up it’s more even then I would have guessed with Boucher in net, though we did make him look like a genius.

…while fat Marty is in the middle of another great season. I know post season struggles blah blah….but I hope I’m wrong. I’m with ya -Philly in 7, but we may live or die by it bro, we may live or die.

actually, I took Philly because this chick I met online is a die hard Flyers fan and I don’t want to be rooting against her team if we end up watching the games together, I mean, that’s not gonna get me anywhere. I actually think the Devils are going to win, but I’m going with my nut sack on this one. LOL
