InsanityCubed 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm surprised that more people picked along with me, with the Predators over the Blues. The Blues are just terrible, and my strategy may be just to pick against the Blues every week. In retrospect, I should've gone with TB over Wash, but I'm gonna try to save them for later in the competition.Not only are the Blues awful, the Preds are looking pretty good. Sullivan and Kariya are playing well, Vokoun in net, they could surprise people. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Rangers/Devils was a fluke, there's no way NY can keep that up. That Garnett kid looked pretty good in net for the Thrash, and even if he lets in 5 I think Atlanta will be good for 8 against the Rangers Defense. Atlanta in a walk...Jagr is looking deadly on the powerplay. Atlanta needs to stay out of the box. Eliminated (no pick) - 9yipppeeee....sorry. Link to post Share on other sites

Eliminated (no pick) - 9yipppeeee....sorry.Jagr was in the box so often last night that my roommate and I actually made up a drinking game about it. Everytime Jagr gets a penalty, drink a shot of Jaeger. Thankfully for us and our livers, he stayed out of trouble for the rest of the night. Link to post Share on other sites

AngloBoy 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm feeling good about my pick. Canadiens over Leafs. Seems a safe one.Toronto are down in Atlanta the day before, and my boys will be back at home catching up on some zzzzz's. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a safe one.Toronto are down in Atlanta the day before, and my boys will be back at home catching up on some zzzzz's.as much as i dislike toronto, (don't get me wrong i dislike montreal just as much), i think that the win over atlanta tonight combined with the win over philly is going to give them some confidence heading in to montreal for awhat should be a good game.

mcpickl 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm actually shocked that more people didn't take the Lightning/Caps game on Sunday, that seemed like the closest thing to a sure bet early in the week.liked that game too. but i hate picking a team in the second night of a back-to-back against a rested team. even though a clearly inferior one.
