    Could be fun to know. Only 3 series left. 12 have been played out. Are you above or below the 50% mark for your predictions?

    Edit: Checked my own. Exactly 50% correct before the semis.
    Yahoo Limited keeper: keep up to 8 players from the preceding season, but 2 of them has to be dropped at the end of the season, decided before the start. 'Keep eligible players' from draft round 11 and later, or undrafted.

    I got 8/12 right overall (not counting how many games it took, only what team I thought would advance).

    I have an NHL.com bracket, so I can't pretend differently.
    50%

    Right in first round: DAL, VGK, TOR.
    Wrong: The other 5.
    So 3-5 in that round.

    I would've picked DAL & VGK & CAR & TOR, so would've been 3-1 there.
    6-6. 50%, yeah.

    (i.e. A blind chicken could've pecked winners as well as me.)

    Yea same for me I suspect this year has been worse than most when it comes to picking winners. Parity and such. Can't be much easier for the betting companies to predict winners. Still a bit odd that it's been this unpredictable.

    6 - 6 on the actual games. Had Aves and Bruins to win
    My coin flip was 5W 7L
    Hardly worth doing any research. Just flip a coin b4 each series starts.
    Things likely skewed a bit this year with heavy favourites Aves, Bruins going down in 1st round.

    Yup I'm 6-6 thru 2 rounds (allowing me to re-pick all the 2nd round games)
    My bracket is totally toast with an Oilers-Boston Finals.

    Remember when TSN had the Monkey making predictions and she kept taking the Ducks and all the experts took the other side? and the Ducks kept winning... that was fun.

    7/12 (No re-pick of 2nd round games)
    My West side really helping me out as I just had COL over SEA wrong.
    Carolina in Conference Finals in the East.

    Coin Flip (Don't have a coin so used a random number generator)
    Round 1: 1/4 West 3/4 East for 50%
    Round 2: 2/2 West 1/2 East for 75%
    Total: 7/12

    So I'm as good as a random number generator...

    Had I combined the two, my picks in the West (outcomes were more apparent to me) and number generator picks for the East I'd be spotting a 9/12 75%
