    First Round:

    Calgary vs Colorado - 7 games
    San Jose vs Vegas - 7 games
    Nashville vs Dallas - 5 games
    Winnipeg vs St. Louis - 6 games
    Tampa Bay vs Columbus - 5 games
    Boston vs Toronto - 6 games
    Washington vs Carolina - 5 games
    NYI vs Pittsburgh - 5 games


    My Final Four:


    San Jose - The depth of scoring they have is great, and if Karlsson is healthy. Tough 1st round matchup against Vegas, but I think they make it over COL in 2nd round easily.
    Winnipeg - Again relying on a couple D man to be healthy in Morrissey and Buff, but I like the mix of size, skill and speed on this team.
    Tampa - Top PP, Top PK, healthy heading into playoffs, and they were a class of their own all season.
    Pittsburgh - (insert sick face here) - I think this Crosby Malkin era has one more deep run in it before things begin to decline and I think their special teams will allow them to beat Washington this year.

    Finals:

    San Jose over Tampa Bay - I think Tampa having to go through Boston and Pittsburgh is a bit tougher of a road than Colorado and then Winnipeg.


    Full Disclosure - These picks are not the ones I would be making with my heart and not the teams I will be cheering for!

    I think every bracket I have filled out has been different. Hedging my bets I guess.

    Pretty sure I even had CLB winning in one of them.

    I only make one bracket per season (March Madness included). Anything more is cheating.

    I don't submit more than one into a contest, but I may as well win one out of seven pools every year instead of winning all seven every 10 years.

    Dobber has been trying to promote it to get as many as possible. I don't think password protecting it is the idea haha

    That’s right. I found the link via twitter. There weren’t any postings for it on the boards.

    Makes sense if he is promoting it. I was just basing it off of last year. We had a password and everyone that was in it was a familiar dobber name.

    This year I see joe.17 is entered haha

    Wow... I was so far off.

    Only 3/8 first round matchups correct... and only 1 of my final four remaining. At least it is my Stanley Cup pick!

    You and everyone else! There were several people in my bracket group who didn’t get a single first round series correct. My wife handed hers in with Columbus and San Jose in the cup final and I thought “ oh that’s cute”. Looks pretty damn good at this point.

    The only first round match I got correct was the Bruins/Leafs right down to number of games. Got a grand total of 10 points!
    Without me, it's only "aweso".
