The Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes got the Western Conference Final underway last night, with the Kings prevailing 4-2. The New York Rangers host the New Jersey Devils tonight in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final.
Our Stanley Cup Playoffs Pool is updated through last night’s game with a single point going to each of Shane Doan, Anze Kopitar and Mike Richards. Nope, no one in our pool picked current Conn Smythe trophy favourite Dustin Brown. The way these playoffs have gone though, are you really surprised?
I adjusted the hockey pool results page defaults to show our Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final picks. A lot of red x’s across the board at the halfway point of the pool. Still, we have a pretty good race to the finish because a Cup win by any of a Rangers, Devils or Kings should – and I’m only estimating here – result in a different pool champion.
If you are on Facebook, Like our MOP Facebook page. Our FB cover image worked wonders for Kentucky winning the NCAA Men’s Division I basketball tournament (a.k.a. March Madness), but so far is completely opposite for the Stanley Cup. Round 1 we had Marc-Andre Fleury as our cover image. That couldn’t have gone worse. Round 2 I put up Pekka Rinne. This round I replaced Rinne with Martin Brodeur. We’ll see if the old warhorse can break the jinx we’ve got going over there.
