What's your perfect bracket?

[Mike A. S.]

This has nothing to do with what you think will happen, this is only what you want to happen. Here's my perfect wish-list bracket:

-1st round-
TB over NJ
TOR over BOS
CBJ over WAS
PIT over PHL
NAS over COL
MIN over WPG
VEG over LAK
SJ over ANA

-2nd round-
TOR over TB
PIT over CBJ
MIN over NAS
VEG over SJ

-Conference Finals-
PIT over TOR
MIN over VEG

-Stanley Cup-
PIT over MIN

Can you say three-peat? #3elieve

Is there a significance to the 3:47 mark or is that random?

WPG over MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmIN... sorry fell asleep even thinking about Wild hockey
LAK over VEG (get in line, new meat!)
ANA over SJ (don't really care though)

I'm more of a parentheses man myself - That said:

-1st round-
NJ over TB (still bitter about 2004)
BOS over TOR (although I don't mind the Leafs as much as I used to)
CBJ over WAS (maybe Trotz gets fired and that's one more coach in the mix for Calgary)
PHI over PIT - (won't happen, but PIT has won enough)
NAS over COL (love Smashville)
WPG over MIN (go Jets)
VGK over LAK (Viva Las Vegas baby)
SJ over ANA (Kesler and Bieksa are a couple of meatheads)

-2nd round-
BOS over NJ (sorry Nasty and DW)
CBJ over PHI (go Jackets)
WPG over NAS (Jets continue their run)
VGK over SJ (Knights continue to roll)

-Conference Finals-
BOS over CBJ
WPG over VGK

-Stanley Cup-
WPG over BOS

 

[RP-29]

-1st round-
TB/NJ
BOS/TOR
CBJ/WAS
PHI/PIT
NAS/COL
WPG/MIN
VGK/LAK
SJ/ANA

-2nd round-
TB/BOS
PHI/CBJ
WPG/NAS
SJ/VGK

-Conference Finals-
PHI/TB
SJ/WPG

-Stanley Cup-
SJ/PHI

Why? Detroit gets Philly's second round pick if Mrazek gets them to the conference finals. Would like to see my boy Pavelski hoist the Cup once.

I'm a big fan of the Racor Tornado.

They have rubberized grips and they mount easily even directly into drywall with no stud. Highly recommend for organizing a closet, garage, or workspace.
