Colorado over Vegas in 5.
Boston over New York in 6.
Tampa over Carolina in 5.
I'll wait and see what happens between Montreal and Toronto before I guess on Winnipeg's second round matchup.

Betting that the team wins that advances to the third round between Montreal, Toronto, and Winnipeg will be in for a rude awakening when they face Colorado/Vegas.
Good job there Vegas! Way to get completely steamrolled tonight and lure Colorado into a false of security before you happen to turn on the jets and show them your true power.
Also - holy f**k, I've never seen such a lengthy powerplay before in all of my years watching hockey. It's amazing that Colorado only managed to score one goal off of that.

Okay, so that first round defied all expectations and I'm going to do a risky guess to finish my second round predictions.
Montreal over Winnipeg in 7.

Playoff Update:
The Montreal Canadiens completed the epic comeback last night by winning three straight games after being down three-games-to-one and defeat the hapless Toronto Maple Leafs in their own barn in Game 7… Montreal will now fly over to Winnipeg to take on the Winnipeg Jets in the 2nd Round starting on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, though...nobody picked the Canadiens to win this series, and nobody had the series going to seven games either, so...the overall standings remain the same.
At the conclusion of the 1st Round, Kentona is still sitting pretty with a 10 Point lead over Kory_Toombs and UPRC for first place. Addit is currently in last place, 12 Points behind Kentona for the lead.
- The Bracket, Leaderboard and Thread have now all been updated!

There goes my chance at winning........
Not entirely, you still have an outside chance of winning the pool if you can happen to get all perfect on your second round picks and neither UPRC or I manage to pick up the 8 point bonus in the Colorado / Vegas series, so it’s technically still possible!
The rest of us only really have to worry about catching up to Kentona as the three of us are so incredibly close to one another in the standings that anything can still happen... It’s also so incredibly close in the standings that either one of us will probably finish in last place - but I digress!
- And speaking of picks, I guess it's time for me to finally pick my potential
Golden Knights Over Avalanche In 7 (pretty much need Vegas to win in order to have any chance of winning the pool)
Lightning Over Hurricanes In 6
Canadiens Over Jets In 6 (gonna ride that wave)
Islanders Over Bruins In 6 (because, why not?)
I'm basically just picking the opposite of what Kentona picked and just hoping for the best. I mean...I pretty much have to do well here, and have to have Vegas win their series too in order to have any chance at all.
Also, standard fare, but, for anybody else who doesn’t know by now, here’s who plays who in the 2nd Round:
Also, at the conclusion of the 2nd Round, the four divisional winners will then be reseeded based on their regular season point totals (which you can find right here) and will then play who based on that. After that, the bracket will then be readjusted.
For anybody else who still wants to participate, I’ll need everyone’s 2nd Round picks in by Thursday, June 3rd @ 4:30 P.M. P.S.T., 7:30 P.M. E.S.T., basically before the start of the Boston / New York Game 3.
West Division:
(1) Colorado Avalanche V.S. (2) Vegas Golden Knights
Central Division:
(1) Carolina Hurricanes V.S. (3) Tampa Bay Lightning
North Division:
(3) Winnipeg Jets V.S. (4) Montreal Canadiens
East Division:
(3) Boston Bruins V.S. (4) New York Islanders

To anyone who thought that my dominance in the first round was pure luck
...you were correct.
Picking the opposite of me will pay huge dividends this 2nd round

(Yeah, it might be barely enough for me to not finish in last, lol...)
- And I always thought that your dominance in the first round was just the universe’s way of correcting itself after the many years of past failures... Either way, what a time for it to finally start correcting itself.
Of course, the other reason that I decided to go the opposite of you was I had a pretty good feeling that Tampa Bay was going to beat Carolina and a pretty good feeling about Montreal and New York winning too... Not sure about Vegas right now...but who knows! Maybe Philipp Grubauer might get hurt again.
(I can only dream...)

RIP Jets.
I am going to feel conflicted if Colorado beats Vegas and I have to bet on them over my unexplainably unstoppable Habs.
I do expect the next series to be a bit an unstoppable force vs immovable object scenario for sure with Colorado/Vegas being the unstoppable forces and Price being the immovable object.
