About to go wreck another one of South Florida's finest golf courses this afternoon, but before I go, figured predictions were in order.
For those who didn't see today's Miami Herald, I did a preview of the opening round complete with my picks of the teams I think are going to make it to the semifinals of their respective conferences. Didn't go farther than that, but if folks are interested, we could do a Stanley Cup bracket here but only if folks send me their first-round predictions by the tip of tonight's Pittsburgh-Ottawa game. Then we can go from there using first round picks (if we do anything at all).
So, here are my first-round picks:
East: Montreal over Boston in 5; Pittsburgh over Ottawa in 6; Washington over Philly in 7; Rangers over Devils in 6.
West: Wings over Preds in 6; Sharks over Keenans in 5; Avs over Wild in 6; Ducks over Dallas in 6.
Feel free to post your picks, thoughts, golf tips below.
Enjoy the games...
-- Don't forget, Everblades kick off their postseason tonight in Estero against Columbia, S.C.
I'll play Kreskin:
East: Montreal over Boston in 4; Pittsburgh over Ottawa in 5; Washington over Philly in 6; Devils over Rangers in 7.
West: Wings over Preds in 5; Sharks over Flameros in 6; Wild over 'Lanche in 6; Ducks over Stars in 7.
As for golf, hit it straight, stay out of the water and try to time the windmill just right.
