    Previous post updated with quick first-round picks. Not going to publicly pick against my team, bad juju.

    Great picks but not enough upsets.
    I record and watch some LVK games and I haven’t seen anyone else comparably good. Out here in Alberta we don’t see many Eastern games so just assuming it will be a tossup among 3 or 4 teams, all of them more complete than Toronto.
    Knights play a fast aggressive style and they are relentless.

    Since getting Hall the Bruins have been damn good. Not necessarily better than the Caps, but they could beat them and it wouldn't be a big surprise.

    Vegas has the Bruins as a betting favorite, heavy. It would not be an upset at all. I’m just not going to pick against my team.

    My NHL playoff hierarchy:

    NOPE.
    16. COL
    15. BOS
    14. WSH
    13. PIT

    Really?
    12. TB
    11. STL
    10. FLA
    9. NSH

    OK.
    8. VGK
    7. EDM
    6. NYI
    5. CAR

    That's fun.
    4. MTL
    3. WPG
    2. TOR

    Makes my friends happy and thus me:
    1. MIN.

    That said, my final four are COL, NYI, CAR and TOR, with COL over CAR in the Final.

    If you had asked me on Day 1 of the season to list everyone who could possibly play in goal for the Caps in the postseason, I'd still be going and would not have named Craig Anderson.

    But here we are - be big Craig.

    Amazingly, I think he brings the average age of the team down.
