I clearly missed the window, but I will submit my picks from my pool and let the judges decide if I’m allowed to continue: Sharks in 5 (# of games now impossible, + hawks look unstoppable) Flyrs in 5 I throw myself on the mercy of the Dope. ---

Habs win! Seems they finally figured out how to play again, and now we have a series on our hands! Free wings at La Cage aux Sports! ---

I thought they moved the puck with a lot more speed and polish than they did in the last two games. Looking forward to Saturday afternoon. ---

Don’t look at me. The Hawks blew my prediction. GO HABS! Although, I was pretty impressed to see #4 (what’s his name) lose four teeth and come back to play. Damn. I’d probably be six ounces into a bottle of scotch after that. ---

Aii ya! I hope both the Flyers and the Candiens realize they have no shot against the Blackhawks. I’ll make my call regardless of who the Eastern champ is, the Hawks win in five. I wouldn’t be surprised by a sweep, but five games mean they celebrate at home with their fans. ---

Not a hawks fan. Actually a wings fan, but I’m happy just the same. Chicago is a great hockey town that had to put up with a lot of crap over the years. It’d be really nice to see them take the cup. ---

Chicago in four The Flyers haven’t faced even a decent offensive team yet. The Blackhawks are going to eat Leighton up. ---

That’s all for us, as the Flyers win 4-2, and the series in five games. Still, a hell of a year, though. Most thought we wouldn’t even make the playoffs, then most thought we’d get roasted by the Ovie and the Caps, and then most thought we’d get shoved aside by Sidney and the Penguins. Good job, boys. We’ll see you in October, and in the meantime, I’m jumping on the Blackhawks bandwagon, hoping they can bring the Cup back to Chicago for the first time since 1961. ---

Wow. They took the Prince of Wales trophy right into the locker room. I guess I’ll have to go with the Phlyers in sixx. Just because I can’t speel. ---
