Why do I even bother...

Of course a great hockey game is played last night and because I live in stupid East Coast Time Zone land of crappiness I miss a dandy of a 4 OT thriller. I was pushing myself just to stay up through the 1st OT when I realized I had to get up in 5 hours. So I turned on the tivo to record the rest of the game, honestly thinking it would be decided in the second OT. Oops. So the tivo only recorded OT 2 & 3 before shutting off since I didn't change the settings. Which means I missed the end of the game and seeing my adopted Sharks make another early post-season exit.

A small PS to the game - Naby and Turco were excellent and Brenden Morrow's hit on Milan Michalek was downright devastating! And totally clean for anyone who wants to cry foul.

So how did I do in round 2? 50% I got Pittsburgh and Detroit. That didn't take much skill to predict those two teams.

So now in the East we get Philadelphia(7) vs Pittsburgh(2)

The West is Dallas(7) vs Detroit(1)

In the east it's a no-win situation from my perspective. I hate both these teams and either advancing to the next round will induce vomiting.

Out West I'll go with Dallas. They are playing the type of hockey I really did and Turco has looked fantastic. Brenden Morrow is really showing why he is the guy who wears the"C" in Dallas these days. Plus I hate Detroit.
