Dobber Hockey Experts Panel, NHL Playoffs 2017 – Round 3

2017-05-12
The Dobber Hockey panel selects their winners for the 2017 Conference Finals.
****
Like others around the hockey world, the Dobber Playoff Panel did not feature a single member that went four-for-four on their second-round picks. Only Mario Prata, Cam Robinson, Chris Wassel, and Kevin Wickersham picked Pittsburgh to advanced past Washington, but three of them had New York defeating Ottawa, while Prata had Edmonton over Anaheim. Half of the field had both Edmonton and Washington winning their respective series. The consensus of all 18 people on the panel went just one-for-four, picking just Nashville correctly. That brings the lifetime record of consensus series-picking here at Dobber to 78-38.

A lot of words can describe the Conference Semi-Finals for 2017, but boring is not of them.
The Conference Finals begin Friday night with Nashville visiting Anaheim. Here are the picks for the second round for each Dobber analyst, as well as the consensus picks:
