Yeah SmartMuffin is running it so can tally it up, or anyone can since the round 1 totals and round 2 picks are earlier in this topic

MartinFF7 posted...
Boston +8
St Louis +4

Seriously though, fuck the Bruins.

Or in a proper format:

+8 Bruins
+4 Blues

I am now torn between keeping my Blues support or rooting for the Thornton cup, but whoever wins I'll root for in the cup finals, for sure.

I am curious, for the Hurricanes prediction pickers (other than Emeraldegg who I know is a dyed-in-the-wool fan) whether it's driven by hate of Boston or legit thinking the Canes can do it...


For me it's a solid 50/50 split of both factors

I was legit wondering the same thing!

I hate the Bruins as much as the next normal, rational person, but they are far and away the best team left.

The canes already outlasted 1 superior team and clobbered another team that they were more equal to, but certainly weren't favored against either. there's not really any reason to stick to "well this team is better on paper" anymore. If the blue jackets can beat the lightning, then anything can happen. I'm not "just" picking them out of a sort of "well I HAVE to believe they can win because I want them to!" mindset. I honestly think the canes will win because they're the cool upstart team that has momentum. Not to mention they're getting healthy again, signs point to Ferland and Mrazek being back for this series.

Also Boston has too many good teams, and Boston has Marchand, so honestly if I wasn't from here, I'd still pick the canes out of Boston-hate in addition. So in summary...

So Penguins get swept by the Islanders who get swept by the Hurricanes who get swept by the Bruins who get swept by the Blues who are incidentally 0-12 in Stanley Cup Finals games? Or would it be cooler if the Sharks win the Stanley Cup by playing the maximum 28 games?

Wow I would be super okay with this scenario!

If Carolina loses game 3, hope they lose game 4

If Carolina wins game 3, well... they came back from down 2-0 to the Caps (and a 6-0 loss to the Caps in Game 5). Maybe road games just aren't their thing... and the Islanders didn't count since Nassau is the real Islanders home, lol.

Edit: really though, fuck the Bruins.

Brad Marchand mocks Justin Williams for poor leadership in taking too many unnecessary penalties. So, to prove him wrong, Williams takes three minors in the first period of the next game.

Don't even tell me he isn't the most effective troll in professional sports.
