Instead of doing a game by game pick'um, here is a playoff series pick'um. All you need to do is pick which team you think will win each series and how many games it'll take that team to win it. Just post your picks in this thread
before the second game in each series preferably. For each correct series winner choice you get 2 points, and if you correctly guess the right amount of games to win, you get an extra 3 points. After each round I'll add up the points and post them here before each playoff round begins, and so on. If you can predict the two teams that make the Stanley Cup finals, you get a
bonus 5 points added to your score, but they must be posted
before game 2 of the first playoff round or I will subtract 2 bonus pts per round.
Please copy and paste the template I used for my picks to post yours (just makes it easier if everyone has the same format). You may edit your picks up to game 2 of each round (I will be monitoring edited post dates and times). There are no prizes, except for bragging rights.
