Does it affect the numbers that I voted on both sides?
Also, filled out a bracket just by flipping a coin, and got the Avalanche that way. So at least they got picked somewhere.
There are 8 polls on the Forum regarding 1st round predictions. I've mined the data from each poll to come up with the results in the left column. The evening of the 10th a piece was published regarding the 1st round (and more) predictions of 17 Dobber experts (very, very interesting). How do the 1st round predictions of the Community vs the Experts compare?
*Pool respondents..........................Dobber experts
100% Preds over Aves............................100%Preds
96% Jets over Wild................................ 94% Jets
84% Bolts over Devils............................. 94% Bolts
73% Pens over Flyers............................. 76% Pens
59% Caps over CBJ................................ 71% CBJ
67% Bruins over Leafs............................ 76% Bruins
60% LA over VGK.................................. .65% LA
57% Ducks over Sharks.......................... 53% Sharks
*UPDATED Tuesday evening.
Sorry for the unprofessional chart.
But you get the idea. Quite similar except for Caps/Jackets and Ducks/Sharks.
If you are going into a pool of some type the thoughts of the Dobber Community and the Dobber Experts are probably as good a guide as you are going to get to give you a head start.
Still hard to believe that not one pool respondent or expert picked the Avalanche. Thanks to the poll responders and the experts. Clarifying my thinking somewhat on my upcoming 18 team draft where we get the 16th pick. (Pool rules in sig have nothing to do with upcoming draft). https://dobberhockey.com (Hopefully the link to above mentioned piece).

Link to the article on 17 Dobber experts making predictions on 1st round matches and a few other things.
One of the other things was....who gets the most points in the playoffs. One of the contributors, Chris Liggio
said GUENZEL. When I saw that, honestly, I gave my head a shake.
Guess who has 4 points tonight and I think is leading the playoffs in scoring.
GUENZEL. wow..so far anyway.
