A year ago, the DobberHockey Crew went 12-3 with our playoff picks as a group. Individually, Jim Gunther, who wrote Sticks and Stones at the time, was tops at 11-4. Matt Bugg was the only one to say Anaheim would win in four, Gunther said in six – it wound up being five. Everyone on the panel had a winning record, but the worst prognosticator was (gulp) myself going just 8-7.

But the important thing is, the DobberHockey Crew went 12-3 as a consensus so go with what we say this year as a whole. 

Eastern Conference

Panel Consensus: MTL in 5, PIT in 6, WAS in 7, NYR in 7  - take it to the bank!

Western Conference

Panel Consensus: DET in 5, SJ in 6, MIN in 7 (less games), ANA in 6. Put it in stone!

Other Picks:

Panel Consensus: PIT or SJ wins the Stanley Cup. Carey Price, Evgeni Nabokov or Sid the Kid wins the Conn Smythe if the Pens/Habs get there and Thornton/Crosby will win the scoring title. The category for <50 points is a strong indicator of some under-the-radar players who are far down the season scoring list.
