Prediction time people

PrintSeeing as how the playoffs start tonight its time we get the Semi-Unofficial Blueshirt Banter prediction pool going. Just drop your first round series prediction in the comments as well as what you think the total goals scored for each series will be. 3 points will be awarded to the person who gets each series right (in the right amount of games) as well as getting the goal total correct (3 points per series correct). 2 points for getting each series (but miss on the number of games) and/or getting within 5 of the total goals scored per series (2 points per each correct prediction). Finally one point will be awarded if you miss the series but come within 5 of the total goals scored. If you miss both...well...Cam Talbot will be having a word with you and may god have mercy on your soul
My predictions for the first round after the jump
(1) Capitals vs (8) Rangers: Rangers in 7 total goals: 14
(2) Flyers vs (7) Sabres: Buffalo in 5 total goals: 21
(3) Bruins vs (6) Canadiens: Boston in 7 total goals: 30
(4) Penguins vs (5) Lightning: Tampa in 6 total goals: 23
(1) Canucks vs (8) Blackhawks: Vancouver in 6 total goals: 36
(2) Sharks vs (7) Kings: Los Angeles in 5 total goals: 18
(3) Red Wings vs (6) Coyotes: Phoenix in 7 total goals: 22
(4) Ducks vs (5) Predators: Nashville in 6 total goals: 30
There won't be any eliminations so if you don't do as well in the first round there is always the second round to get embarrassed in.

1 game in, I’m not far off. That total goals prediction was made more in fun, but I wonder how far off I’ll really be

Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this - in any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die who's gonna win that inch."

I listen to Enter Sandman before taking exams. I wear the exact same jersey every Giants game. The Rangers goal song goes off in my head when I achieve small successes in life.

8kpower: are you going to start a new fanpost for the 2nd round once tonight’s games are over, or do we just post our predictions in here?
