Dobber Hockey Playoff Experts Panel 2015

2015-04-14
The panel gives their picks for the first round, Conn Smythe, top five scorers, and more.
Last season the panel consensus had a Bruins-Kings Cup Final. Obviously that didn't happen but at least we got you halfway there. This year you won't find much consensus for a Cup favourite although there is some lean towards the Rangers. We also, may believe that this is the year the Blues finally figure it out. Tough year for playoff pools.
Over the last five years, the panel is 50-25
Check out all of our picks below.
Remember to pick up the interactive playoff draft list to help you rule your pool!
