Was I ever off on this series!  I didn’t think the Blue Shirts would find a way to pull it off.  Montreal pushed them hard.  It was a great series.

Toronto should feel good about this series.  I picked it correctly, but I thought the Caps would win in much easier fashion.  This should be a concern for Washington moving forward.

Prior to Series, I picked Pittsburgh in 6…
I picked the series correctly, although I thought it would go a game further.  Columbus pressed the Penguins hard, and should use this as a building block to next year.

Prior to the Series, I picked Chicago in 7…
Nashville shocked me, as did Chicago.  The Predators are a force to be reckoned with.  Right now I would say that they have an advantage in the second round.

West Pacific Bracket

Anaheim Ducks   -vs-   Calgary Flames

                Game 2 Saturday 15 April at Anaheim           Ducks 3, Flames 2

                                                                                                         Anaheim wins Series, 4 Games to 0

Prior to the Series, I picked Anaheim in 6…
I didn’t think Anaheim would take this series this quickly.  And yet I think Calgary played better than this sweep would show.  The Flames are heading in the right direction.  It just wasn’t their year to dive deep into the playoffs.  But that year is coming.  Meanwhile Anaheim needs to focus on the fact that they will need to step up their game against either the Oilers or the Sharks to win this bracket and make it to the Championship Match for the Western Conference.

Timotheus Picks – 7 points of possible 8 (88%)

                                                                                                         Edmonton wins Series, 4 Games to 2

Prior to the Series, I picked San Jose in 5…
The Oilers found a way to win.  It was an impressive series win for them over a good San Jose team.  Edmonton could use the momentum from this in the Second Round.  They will need it.
