[mattola]

Canucks 4
Sharks 2

Ill await 95% of this board picking the Sharks. It seems like everyone is against the Canucks. I love it. We are the Underdogs........


GO CANUCKS GO

 

[TOX1]

Bolts 4-1

Nucks 4-2

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Sharks and Bruins both in five. I'm a dumbass, I know.

 

[sbb122]

Tampa 4-2

Sharks 4-3

 

[RangersReds03]

We are the Underdogs........

Can the #1 team in the league be underdogs?

Can the #1 team in the league be underdogs?

judging by how many media experts are taking the Sharks I would think so

 

[evolver115]

Nucks 4-2

Bolts 4-3

I'm pulling for Boston and San Jose, but I don't think either are going to advance past Tampa and Vancouver. Whatever happens, it will be good entertainment for the next two weeks

I refuse to play this game.

Is there a link to TSN/CBC/etc. "experts'" picks somewhere just for fun?

5 out of 8 ESPN "experts" pick Canucks (only Barnaby had Sharks over Detroit, FWIW)

Vegas also has Canucks favorite (Vancouver -170 / San Jose +150 for the series).

Boston -140 / Tampa Bay +120 are the other series lines...

I am trying to understand why people have TB being the winners hands down... Seems like every analyst has them in the finals.

Linda Cohn, EJ Hradek, and Scott Burnside, that's a very generous use of the term "Expert"...

Haha... 100% agreed (hell, even about some others that you *didn't* name)... hence my use of quotes around 'expert'. :p

Yeah, I'm guessing they all just think... the way they got rid of Caps... plus people love a good story (coach, Yzerman, etc.) and rooting for an "underdog"... plus B's exit last year...

Vegas obviously has the series very close (as it should be) and Boston *is* favorite, so it's about right...

lol...That's a rep.

Bruins 4

Not too much demand for those half-Rags/half Bruins flags I reckon...
