Taking on the “Experts” – Round 2
Throughout the playoffs, we will be predicting the winners of each series and comparing our picks to those of the experts around the sporting world.
Here are our predictions for the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
| Series |
|
|
 Rory |
| #1 Bruins vs. #6 Hurricanes | Bruins in 6 | Bruins in 5 | Bruins in 6 |
| #2 Capitals vs. #5 Penguins | Penguins in 5 | Penguins in 6 | Penguins in 7* |
| #2 Red Wings vs. #8 Ducks | Ducks in 7 | Red Wings in 5 | Red Wings in 6 |
| #3 Canucks vs. #4 Blackhawks | Blackhawks in 5 | Canucks in 7 | Canucks in 7 |
*Hopefully the Mellon Arena will collapse and there will be no survivors.

| #2 Red Wings vs. #8 Ducks | Red Wings in 6 | Red Wings in 5 | Red Wings in 7 | Red Wings in 7 |
| #3 Canucks vs. #4 Blackhawks | Canucks in 5 | Blackhawks in 6 | Canucks in 6 | Canucks in 5 |
I will keep standings based on how many corrects picks each expert makes. For each correct pick, the expert will receive 1 standings point. If the expert correctly guesses the winner and the number of games the series will last, they will get 2 points. The TSN experts didn’t bother to say how many games each series would take so they can’t get any bonus points. Sucks to be TSN!
