Quoted from ImNotNorm:Things just got interesting at the top of the bracket standings.
For the majority of us, our brackets are done by the end of round 2.

2.1giggggggggwatsss difference no way how explain breakdown, ok looks like if both are teams make it out of next round the Stanley Cup would decide it or this round depending on which one of our teams make it out Dallas or Carolina.
Is this the place to talk about how the Stanley Cup will be in USA for yet another year?
Too soon? 
Seriously though I didn’t come in to troll and I’ll admit that I really don’t start watching NHL much until the playoffs…but once they start, I’m all in!
Gotta say I’m sad that there won’t be multiple playoff games to watch every day now. Bummer!
Round 1 games were amazing. Round 2 was a little hit and miss…way more blowouts than I would’ve expected.
Hopefully the conference finals get back to the tight scores and dramatic OT finishes that we saw more of in Round 1.
LOVE THAT PLAYOFF HOCKEY!

Yup...looks like this years winner will depend on Dallas or Carolina.
From my calculations, you and hwyhed are the only two left in the bracket challenge who can win.
Looks like the Coyotes will be moving soon. Tempe just quashed the arena proposal.
I can hear Jim Ballsillie laughing somewhere....

They should move to Atlanta so Canada can get another team.

Yeah hard to believe they did not pass in the vote, bad move for Tempe as would have been nice and close for me.

Yes but how is he two pints ahead, I thought I had 4 series picked correct on Total games and believe he had only three series right on Total series games in 1st round?

I think a high percentage of arena/stadium funding referendums fail. That's why you constantly see politicians and team owners trying to avoid if possible. Field of Schemes is an interesting website where you can follow all the craziness that goes on...

I checked out both of your guy's picks and added the points. It all checks out.
See the point values below.
Picking 2nd round winners rewards more points.

I find Carolina and Florida to be boring teams to watch. That n the fact that Game 1 of a series is typically a fill out game. BUT I have to say the first period was a pretty good period of hockey.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'm rooting for the Canes for 3 reasons...
1 - Rod Brindamour
2 - Brent Burns
3 - Frederik Anderson
..and Leivo had a little dance Carolina
Florida looked tired in the 3rd ,it was too easy bashing away on Nylander and MMM ..not today Florida.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:That's a good goal,,what A rip off Florida
I'm rooting for the Canes but even I can see that was a good goal.
Quoted from dhutton:[quoted image]
I had that bumper sticker on back of my soccer referee rain jacket in high school in 1996, I still had that jacket until we moved little over a year ago with the sticker. I will try to find it (or at least a picture);but not sure if finally got throw away.
Quoted from meSz:Play getting sloppy in the 6th period. Has the making of a garbage goal!
Skittles and beer keeping the fans going.

Skittles, the candy that's illegal in some 30 countries 
I believe Canada is one of them, right?
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Boring!
Agree, that last period was just toss the puck in the air and hope for something to happen. Few good spirts but very few.
Quoted from TheLaw:Stilllll Goinggggggg
I’m surprised you’re still awake!

Nope, you can still buy them here.
Quoted from hwyhed:I’m surprised you’re still awake!
Dude...i got this marathon, Battlebots playoffs, and my brothers LA pinball league finals.... can i fucking sleep please?!?
That goal was all Burns fault x2. And alllll lazy Canes heading to 5th

Yes pens game in 2000 vs flyers 5 OT was better and Pens in 1996 4OT
Quoted from hwyhed:I thought that it was funny seeing some of the fan’s sleeping and in costumes..was a very late night, but entertaining game to start the eastern finals
What time did it end?
I packed it in after 1OT
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:What time did it end?
I packed it in after 1OT
I stopped watching after 1 OT also, read that it went til 1:54 AM. EST
Quoted from meSz:Look for him to land in Pittsburgh
He stated he'd be taking time away if the Leafs parted ways... we'll see if he meant it though.

Rutherford said the same thing when the Penguins fired (oh I mean left for personal reasons) him!
