Taking on the Experts – Conference Finals Edition

Eric — Sun, 17 May 2009 18:11:08 +0000

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 third round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:

Series	Eric	Marc	Rory
#5 Penguins vs. #6 Hurricanes	Hurricanes in 7	Penguins in 7	Hurricanes in 7
#2 Red Wings vs. #4 Blackhawks	Blackhawks in 7	Red Wings in 6	Blackhawks in 7

TSN’s Expert Picks:

Yes folks, were taking on Maggie the Monkey

*We trust that Mr. McKenzie will have his pick for the Pens-Canes series before the game starts tomorrow. We will update his picks when they become available. Also, it appears that Peter Laviolette–with his 7-5 record–has given up on being an Expert so Ray Ferraro has taken his place. Their points will be combined and they shall be referred to as “The LavioRaros,” which is sorta like The GiaWigs.

Yahoo! Sports Expert Picks:

Series	Jim Fox	Ross McKeon	Matt Romig	Greg Wyshynski
#5 Penguins vs. #6 Hurricanes	Penguins in 6	Penguins in 5	Penguins in 6	Penguins in 6
#2 Red Wings vs. #5 Blackhawks	Red Wings in 6	Red Wings in 6	Red Wings in 6	Blackhawks in 7

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!
