Actually, I think that would put you in second or third place, but I don't have the table in front of me currently. You'd at least be in contention.

Yep, you're the only one who has a shot at going over .500 for this round, but I believe that everyone is under .500 for their overall predictions, since Garth took it in the chin.Facts -- Ben Kenobi etc etc-- sorry but you seemed to like lampooning Asher for a similar small error
If Washington wins game 7 I could go 3 for four in round 2-- I will still be pretty irrelevent in the overall though as I had a similar record to you in round one
I'm officially guaranteed to finish below .500, if WA wins, the best I can go is 7/15.

NY/Was winner in 7

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.
Okay, some quick stats along with the new standings
Two players (gjramsey & Jonny) went 0 for 4 in the second round. Kudos, gentlemen.
No one did better than 2 for 4: myself, Asher, Supr49er, mrboo123, and Flubber all broke even this round.
Three players secured a bonus point this round, all on the Rangers in 7: myself, Garth Vader, and Supr49er.
Only mrboo123 (LA) and Asher (NYR) have their Cup picks alive; joncha and gjramsey (both NYR) have their runner-up alive.
No one is mathematically eliminated yet, but all it would take is one right pick for Garth, or one wrong one for our bottom-feeders, to make that happen.
The standing are starting to spread out a bit:
1. Garth Vader 14 (23 max possible)
2. Guynemer 13 (22)
3. Asher 12 (25)
4. Kontiki 11 (20)
4. Ming 11 (20)
4. Supr49er 11 (20)
4. demonbinder 11 (20)
8. Flubber 10 (19)
9. Joncha 8 (19)
9. mrboo123 8 (21)
9. gjramsey 8 (19)
9. notyoueither 8 (17)
13. Jonny 6 (15)
13. Ben Kenobi 6 (15)
Coyotes-Kings tomorrow night. Get at least that pick in before 8PM Eastern, or face my wrath. I'll be out of town all day tomorrow.

LA vs. PHO - Everything tells me LA is going to win, which means Phoenix probably will. Still, go with the gut - it's only proven me wrong repeatedly this post season. LA in 6
NYR vs. NJ - Meh, don't care. Jersey looks good. NJ in 6

You are the only person to pick the Coyotes in any of the three rounds so far.

LA finally loses it's second game. They've won 11 of 13 playoff games, and have booked themselves a ticket for the SCF. Is that a record?

Who cares? They got there by beating awful teams.

Maybe the Kings are just that good? Hey they could do what Calgary failed to do with Iggy, playoff leader extraordinaire, and win the cup. Still think it will go to the east though.Who cares? They got there by beating awful teams.

Let's ask the people who correctly predicted they would win all their series.
Oh, hey. That's me. Not you.
It's remarkable how successful the Sutter system is away from Iginla.Hey, maybe they are good.

and Jim Playfair is an Associate coach in Phoenix so both west finalists had recent Calgary coaches on their coaching staff-- the coaches are successful elsewhere
I just don't know what it says about Iggy-- I think it says more about the crappy level of talent that Sutter as GM assembled--
I don't see exactly how Iggy prevents the bulk of the 3rd and 4th liners from chipping in with 12 or 16 goals instead of 4 or 6. Calgary's 3rd and 4th lines play about the same amount as 3rd and 4th lines on other teams and this lackl of "depth scoring" has been an issue for years-- But what does Iggy have to do with it? He usually faces the opposing team's top checking line

and me!!-- I even got the number of games right this time
Too bad the Rangers look like a worn out team but the Rangers still have hope-- Its called Lundqvist -- No matter what happens, he has fashioned an impressive playoff run-- I seem to recall he has not surrendered more than 3 goals in any of his 18 playoff games this year

Me as well. I'm not sure how many of us picked LA to win each round so far, I'll look it up when I get home.
Not surprisingly, LA's win won't alter to standings too much, as only one person picked the Coyotes.
