Tom’s Playoff Predictions - Round Two
April 24th, 2008 by Tom
Pretty nice first round of playoff action in the NHL these past two weeks. The Flyers’ game seven victory over the Capitals destroyed my chances of having a perfect first round of predictions for the East. Meanwhile, I got smacked around pretty good out in the West, nailing down just one of the four winners (the Wings). I give the Avalanche a lot of credit for winning three straight to close out the Wild. I also give the Capitals a ton of credit for coming back from a 3-1 deficit to force an exciting seventh game.
One more first round thought while we’re at it, I thought Martin Brodeur should’ve shaken Avery’s hand. I can’t stand Avery. I’ll be the first guy to talk about what a punk he is. That said, Brodeur has to be bigger than that. He has to keep the high ground. With a guy like Avery it almost impossible to lose the high ground, but Marty did. At least for one day.
Onto my second round predictions:
Penguins over Rangers in 6
Canadiens over Flyers in 6
Sharks over Stars in 7
Red Wings over Avalanche in 5

1) Also we went 6-2 not 7-1 LOL We missed the Anaheim-Ducks and we missed the Flyers-Caps.
2) The guy couldn’t even get that part of his story strait. Again, sorry for the inconvenience that this nut job is causing.

Avs in 7
Sharks in 6
And as far as Marty not shaking Avery’s hand…good for him. That should happen more often. In fact, I have always hated the handshakes at the end of a series. I don’t get it, you go to war, this is your enemy, you do battle, and at the end, everyone shakes hands and shares a milkshake? Nah, F that. Get rid of the handshakes all together. I agreed with Billy Smith when he did it and that is to just go straight to your locker room after the game, end of story.
