2013 Stanley Cup playoffs: Experts' picks - ESPN

 

[dash]

Clean sweeps for the Pens, Hawks, and Bruins (i.e. all 10 experts picked Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston to win their first round series)

What little hope Detroit had of making it past the first round is gone - Melrose picked Detroit to win in 7.

Who is Katie Strang? I haven't read anything at ESPN for a while now.

I think she's based out of New York, Boss and follows the Isles quite closely (beat writer)

Linda Cohn is an expert?

Does she even know what hockey is? (Not that ignorance of hockey stops Melrose)

She's a big Rangers fan, so, no, I guess not.

She actually tweeted this Saturday, so she looks to be alright and not ignorant to the way that hockey fans feel ESPN treats hockey:

Granted, I hardly ever watch ESPN, but I never remembered her even mentioning hockey, ever.

She's a pretty big hockey fan, but pretty sure she knows ZERO outside of the Rangers.

So she's bascially your average Rags fan then.

Take 2: No, she knows who Crosby is.

Honestly, in talking to most hockey fans NOT on here, that's every fan I know. I'll ramble on about some other team and they just stare blankly with eyes glazed. Unless it involved Sid ("pussy!") Ovi ("baby/sucks!") or a member of a rival team they hate.

Hahahaha, I was gonna mention that. She knows enough to get through a Pens/Caps highlight that shows up on SC.
