So here we are, 2 rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs down and they were fantastic. Great goals, sensational saves, and awesome alliteration were the name of the game. But, with 3 of the 4 remaining squads offering little to no appeal to the casual hockey fan, these playoffs will likely be as interesting as a NFL pre-season game.
Anyway, onto the picks, such as they are.
Pittsburgh v Philadelphia: For the last two rounds, I have picked against the Flyers (and, if you saw my 2nd round picks, you'll see that none of my predictions came through). But, there is something about Pittsburgh this year, and as long as Marc-Andre Fleury continues his strong play, the Pens will please us all and head to the Finals. Penguins in 6.
Detroit v Dallas: The new trendy Stanley Cup pick - now that the Sharks are out (tear) - is the Red Wings, but, after watching the Stars in a grueling series against the aforementioned Sharks and dominating the Cup champions, Detroit's first 2 series wins don't look that great by comparison. Marty Turco is the best goalie of the 4 remaining tenders, and Brendan Morrow is dominating the game like few others right now. Call it a hunch. Stars in 7.
Record: 6-6
