Some improvement here numberswise. I picked three out of the four series winners, and while I thought the two Eastern Conference series would each go an additional game, the Stars did, as I guessed, put the Sharks out in six. They just had to blow a couple of elimination games to do it. But all of that is undone by just how far off the mark I was in the Detroit-Colorado prediction. I don't know what to say. I guess I was suckered in by nostalgia for those great Avalanche teams of the late nineties and early oughts and the expectation that the Red Wings were warming up for another playoff pratfall.
I neglected to consider that when the Avalanche were getting the band back together, they were only able to scrape up half of Peter Forsberg and none of Patrick Roy.
I won't make the same mistake again. It feels wrong to pick against Dallas given what they've done this postseason, but Detroit's not folding this round. Red Wings in five.
In that other series, Penguins over Flyers in six games.
