| May 26/27 Posted: 5/26/2009 9:41:59 PM | Well, penguins series wasnt really a surprise but I'm sure Bruins would have given them a much more competitive match than the Canes did. Anyhow looks like a repeat is in order as patrick cane has been invisible for Chicago! I dont like the wings and I think Pens will go for the cup this year. With that said I'm gonna go ahead and predict that Penguins win in 6. Heres to hoping...... and have a good summer all you hockey fans.
Go Flames in 09 - 10 season

| May 26/27 Posted: 5/26/2009 10:06:31 PM | The NHL said today if the wings win tomorrow.....The stanley cup finals would start this saturday may 30th/09...But i heard if it does start saturday the wings are a banged up team and they would only have two days to regroup from this series....Rather you could be on to something here....The pens would have 9 days off if the wings where to throw this game....Very interesting Also teams that have hade more then 8 days rest in the finals have lossed in every finals they have played in....I think the pens best shot at winning this time around would be if it start saturday.... | |

Wait a minute... maybe I AM suggesting that the Wings would purposely lose a game
You could always change your prediction...  | |
|
| May 26/27 Posted: 5/27/2009 8:00:13 AM | | I never heard the talk of moving the playoff start ahead and would maybe consider the Pens having a chance then. I think it'll still take 7 games for the Wings to beat'em this season and if the schedule's bumped ahead so Detroit doesn't have time for the old farts to mend/rest, the Pens'll have a decent shot. (all things considered it just MIGHT make sense for the Wings to throw a game but I still don't expect that to happen today) | |

| May 26/27 Posted: 5/27/2009 9:22:53 AM | | I am from St Louis and I still want the Red Wings to kill the Penguins. I am a huge Capitals fan so I was devistated when they got kicked. And yes I am one of the conspiracy theorist who thinks Crosby gets the refs help. Go Wings. | |

| After Round #3 Posted: 5/27/2009 9:44:37 PM | Remember, 20 points for the correct team, another 20 for calling the correct number of games: - unlike other rounds, there was no overwhelming consensus so this was interesting - only one player called a series (yes, thank you thank you)
Series Only Tally: riot: 60 points (Det series called, Pitt correct) cincin: 40 points (both teams correct) kaos: 40 points (both teams correct) dirtydeeds: 40 points (both teams correct) donnydude: 20 points (Det correct) fab14: 20 points (Pitt correct) passion: 20 points (Pitt correct) sunshine: 20 points (Det correct) tropicalfish: 20 points (Pitt correct) smitten: 0 points (can't seem to catch a break) ratherb: 0 points (what happened????) | |

| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/27/2009 9:51:41 PM | kaos manages to cling onto top spot while riot climbs back up to 2nd. ratherb's luck has taken a turn for the worst and fab14 has tied him for 6th spot.

| THE BIG ONE! Posted: 5/27/2009 10:01:05 PM | Please post your predictions for the Stanley Cup finals before Sat. May 30 12pm NOON EST. 40 points for the correct team, another 40 points if you call the correct number of games! So it's still anybody's game and I'd imagine there will be some strategy involved here also. Individual games will pay out 10 for the win and another 20 if you call the correct score for a possible 30 points for individual games. No OT bonuses.
I am torn here. My brain says Det in 6 yet my heart says Pitt in 5. I'll let it sink in a bit before posting. | |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 2:14:36 AM | Too busy to guarantee I will be posting scores in time so here's my finals prediction
Final: Pitt in 6 Game 1: Detroit 4-2 Game 2: Game 1 loser wins Game 2, 5-3 Game 3 Pitt 6-2 Game 4 Pitt 4-2 Game 5 Detroit 3-2 Game 6 Pitt 3-1 | |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 4:05:52 AM | Ah the finals at last. Penguins 4 Red Wings 3 in game one.
Penguins in 7.
| |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 8:10:25 AM | Tough call. Likely a great series either way but I think the Wings are just a tad too old'n beat-up, and the Pens are young, talented, and hungry enough. Thought the wings'd repeat easily for nearly a year now but...... Pens in 7. Game 1: 5-4 for Pittsburg | |

| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 4:01:23 PM | | i think last year we chose our pick for the conn aswell didnt we? | |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 7:33:10 PM | This is really hard... My heart is with Detroit but my head is telling me Pitt. all things considered.
My head says Pitt in 6 with Malkin walking away with his first Conn Smythe.
However, the prediction I am going with for the POF pool is as follows; My heart says Wings in 7 with Hank taking home his 2nd Conn Smythe.
Game 1 Wings 4 Penns 2 | |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/28/2009 10:43:52 PM |
i think last year we chose our pick for the conn aswell didnt we?
Yes, we did that as one of our bonus questions... seeing as it's the finals, why not!
Pick the Conn Smythe winner and you get an extra 5 points! Deadline is the same. | |

My heart is with Detroit but my head is telling me Pitt
And here I am the opposite! My head is telling me Detroit and my heart is telling me Pittsburgh. Still not entirely sure which way to go yet although almost everyone seems to be on the Pittsburgh bandwagon. | |
|
| |
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/29/2009 8:11:26 AM | | Yeah, unless one of the goalies goes nutso and virtually wins the cup single-handedly, (couple shutouts and a zillion saves or something) I think the Conn Smyth's a gimme for Sid the Kid. Malkin's the only other possible choice I can imagine. | |
|
| After Round #3 Tally Posted: 5/29/2009 6:51:12 PM | Detroit to win in 6
Detroit 4 Pitts 3
Lets see if I get more points this round, but then again, I have better luck having lightning striking me.  | |
