Round One Results are in...

And the screw job is complete!

With some of the worst officiating I've EVER seen, Philadelphia survives regulation and defeats the Caps in OT.
My bitterness is still overwhelming and really don't feel like venting about it here, so I won't.

Let's see who my picks came out.

Correct - Montreal, Detroit, Pens, Rangers, Avs, Sharks.
Incorrect - Caps, Ducks.

So 6-2 isn't too shabby.

So lets take a breif look at Round 2

Montreal vs. Philadelphia - Biron played his ass off against DC, this round it won't be enough. Montreal advances, lets the riots ensue.

Pittsburgh vs. New York - Seems like Pitt hasn't played in forever, not that I really care. I hate both of these teams more that most folks could possibly imagine. Still, I see the Pens advanceing in a series that should be harder than the last one.

Detroit vs. Colorado - Colorado played better than I thought they would in Round one. But so did Detroit and when The Preds came back to even the series the Wings responded by stepping on their necks. Detroit wins.

San Jose vs. Dallas - Two teams that played each other hard all season. I think this has the potential to be a fantastic series and probably the only one I have a genuine rooting interest in now that the Caps are out. SJ all the way!
