Back here is our faceoff against various NHL “experts” in predicting the first round playoff matchups.
Who knows what kind of zany methodology the “experts” came up with – but it was probably a mish-mash of compete level, most active sticks, and proven playoff performers.
We kept it a little simpler and limited it to one stat of our choosing. I chose even strength fenwick. MD chose pp + pk percentage. We didn't choose wisely.
Here are the first round results:
Pierre Lebrun: 5-3
Matthew Barnaby: 7-1
Damien Cox: 6-2
Scott Cullen: 5-3
Mike Brophy/Mark Spector: 5-3
Durf: 4-4
MD: 4-4
The lesson as always…….. active sticks trump everything.
At the risk of embarrassing ourselves for a second time, here are our round 2 picks. Again, these are based only on who had the better pre-determined stat, nothing else.
Durf: Canucks, Sharks, Lightning, Flyers
MD: Canucks, Wings, Lightning, Flyers
And now, the experts:
Lebrun: Canucks, Wings, Caps, Flyers
Barnaby: Canucks, Sharks, Caps, Flyers
Cox: Canucks, Sharks, Caps, Bruins
Brophy/Spector: Canucks, Wings, Caps, Flyers
I searched for about 10 minutes for Cullen’s 2nd round picks but couldn’t find them. If anyone does, let me know and I’ll post them.
