Vegas odds or something like that would help. When you average enough people's picks together, eventually you just end up with the favorite. Since the favorite wins more often than not, touting the record isn't much benefit. It would be nice to see on times where you disagree with Vegas, how often is this group right, vs. wrong. I suspect that in series where there is no obvious favorite, your record is horrible. In the obvious ones (aka the first round) you do much better. Just a hunch though. Put this round into the "no obvious favorite" and "horrible results" category.

I meant Couturier, not Cloutier - Renaldo? Sun, 29 Apr 2012 05:50:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4593-dobberhockey-expert-panel-second-round#comment-20631 Ha! I picked every winner in the west and didn't pick any in the east. Though at least three of the series, the series I had no rooting interest in :), went to seven games. The Flyers looked like world-beaters in the first round and in their three wins, but here's some things to consider: 1. The Flyers lack defensive depth. The Pens never made Phili pay for playing game 6 shorthanded defensively. 2. Bryz was awful. The only reason he was bailed out was the collapse of the Penguins penalty killing and the play of Fluery. 3. How many rookies are the Flyers playing at forward? They did a good job, and a veteran team like the Pens looked awful against them. They may be good, but the Devils vets should be able to neutralize so many rookies, as good as they are. 4. Coach Bylsma did nothing to get the Malkin line away from Cloutier. While the leagues leading scorer and second leading goal scorer on a line with another 40 goal scorer SHOULD be able to score against rookies, if they're not it's incumbant upon the coach to do a little line matching and get them away from that line. Bylsma did not do that. If nothing else, he should see that the Flyers coach wants to do something and should try to frustrate him. My 4 cents. Keep up the good job guys. I picked StL to play Pittsburgh in the finals by the way. - Renaldo?

But the fact that they are picked to finish near the bottom, to not make the playoffs, to not win the Pacific, to not beat Chicago, to not beat the Preds, bodes well for them. I have watched them all year and they are a seriously good team... - Ryan Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:31:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4593-dobberhockey-expert-panel-second-round#comment-20611 Rangers in 7 Flyers in 6 Blues in 6 Preds in 7 - Ian Nifty Mittens Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:30:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4593-dobberhockey-expert-panel-second-round#comment-20610 GIven the playoffs so far, my only prediction is that you guys will be wrong! Seriously, I don't really like making a ton of predictions but this is the time to do so... Nashville will win in 4-6 games. Philly will in in 4-5 NYR-WAS will go to 7... I am going to say Washington takes it, barely. STL will either win in 5 or lose in 7... It all depends on the Canucks, ironically enough. If they really were that bad, STL will win but if the Kings were that good they should lose in 7. (I choose to remain oblivious to a middle ground) - Austin Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:12:12 +0100
