I think the rangers are gonna make out better than the Devils here. Devils will probably take Jack Hughes, seeing as he's trained with Tyler Hall the last couple years. Which means Kaapo Kakko will come to Little Scandinavia the New York Rangers. I don't know much about them, but from the little I see, even though Hughes is higher rated I think Kakko will turn out to be the better pick.

I'm gonna laugh really, really hard if the Jackets prove us all wrong.

Of course, the Lightning choking in the playoffs is never really a surprise, is it?

It's the end of the first period of the first game, not to mention the score's 2-1 in the Isles' favour, so I wouldn't call it a loss just yet. Just hang in there for another 40+ minutes.

Well, it is a bold strategy and if it does pay off then expect a bit of a lead.

I like the Blue Jackets, and the Sharks, and the Caps, but this is about who can win, not whom I like, and out of that trio - the Caps. In terms of being a fan, my team's out, so for Western Conference I'll go for Sharks, the Cali team that's still alive, and for the East I'll go for the DC Alex Ovechkins.

Even though I think it might be Caps and Knights again.

On the upside, at least it's 2-2 in the Pens-Isles game so at least there's a chance your team'll take game one.

eh, I'm not convinced yet... remember last year when they were up two games to 0 against the cap then not only blew the lead in game three but fell off the face of a cliff the rest of the series.

Well. The Islanders won, the Stars won, the Blues won, and most importantly, the Sharks are about to win. Minus the stereotypical Lightning choke, my picks look good after Day 1 of the postseason. It's still early though. I'm sure this is just a fluke to make me feel special for a moment :P

It's the Penguins. I'm honestly not surprised they were playing down to their competition considering the Steelers are infamous for it. Granted, the Isles have been on fire for most of the season, but still the Pens should've put in a bit more effort.
