Here are the individual and averaged predicitions for the second round of the NHL playoffs from Dobber, Angus, Bugg, Ma, Miller, and more! The panel’s consensus picks were 12-3 last year, and we boast an impressive 34-11 record over the past three seasons!
The first round featured a trio of upsets in the Eastern Conference. None of the 13 experts predicted the Montreal Canadiens over the Capitals. Only Ryan Ma foresaw the Flyers defeating the Devils, and only Ma, Matt Bugg, and Russ Miller saw the Bruins taking care of Buffalo. I was a horrendous 0-4 in the East, as I took a chance on the Senators, who fell flat in game six. Ryan Ma went 7-for-8 in the first round, and Bugg went 6-for-8. A few (myself included) are looking for redemption in round two! The panel’s consensus picks went 5-for-8 in the first round.
