Gotta try to make up some ground to Noname, plus the Islanders knocked off the better team here. Still riding that Ovie hype train, though.

Random side note: I did a for shits and giggles bet with my Father, picking one (1) team before the season started to win the Cup. I picked Dallas and he picked the Lightning. The tension between us right now is hilarious.

...well, crap. Puck has dropped for Round 2 and apparently my market would rather show the world poker tour.

I don't think Greiss can ride that magic much longer.
As for PIT/WSH, ask yourself this: who would you pick to win? Holtby or Murray? Yeah. That's what I thought.

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

Sorry for the double post, but there is one other thing.
Once ANA-NSH ends, you may edit your post to include the Western matchups.
I can see any edits that have been made so I will know if any Eastern picks have been changed (plus only one game will have passed. Not like that'll change a lot of minds).

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

Would you have picked Murray over Lundqvist? Don't think sooooo

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

I would've picked Pittsburgh's offense over the aging core of the Rangers. Plus, Lundqvist got a stick to the eye in Game 1. With a healthy Lundqvist, they still lose in 6 or 7.

Either way, if you base this off of offense, they're fairly evenly matched.
Defense? Slight edge to Pittsburgh thanks to Letang.
But I am MUCH more comfortable with Holtby facing Pittsburgh's offense than Murray facing Washington's.

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

Lightning strikes 3 minutes into the first.

I am regretting several things.

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

How about now, igot?

Re: 15/16 NHL Playoff Pick'em/Discussion
 

Replacing regret with cautious optimism.
