NHL 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs / Pool Prediction Thread ~ Corona-Chan Edition ~
And, also, apparently, the second round is starting…tonight??? (Wha…?)
I’ll need everyone’s 2nd Round picks in by Wednesday, August 26th @ 5:00 P.M. PST, 8:00 P.M. EST before the Bruins and Lightning Game 3 starts, okay?
I have an idea who I’m probably going to go with, but I’ll finalize it probably sometime either by tonight or tomorrow.
Western Conference:
(1) Vegas Golden Knights V.S. (7) Vancouver Canucks
(2) Colorado Avalanche V.S. (3) Dallas Stars
Eastern Conference:
(1) Philadelphia Flyers V.S. (7) New York Islanders
(2) Tampa Bay Lightning V.S. (4) Boston Bruins

Next year, I am going to go about making my picks as usual, and then I am going to WRITE DOWN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Then I might have a chance.
Why wait until next year when you can test this newfound strategy right here, right now! You still have an outside chance of (perhaps) winning this thing. Why not give it a go??? If it fails, then…I don’t know what to tell you.
And the Flames remind me so much of the old Canucks teams of the early 2000’s where they had amazing forwards and defence but their goaltenders couldn’t even stop a beachball, lol. In fact, I remember used to seeing these old memes all of the time on the Canucks boards about how much our goaltenders used to suck. It seems like ever since we traded for Luongo all of those years ago, those worries are now a thing of the past…
And speaking of those Canucks, lol - I can’t believe that they won; they absolutely steamrolled the Blues last night! I would never imagined that they would get this far so quickly with this core, especially against last year’s Stanley Cup champions, but - here they are.
And, yeah, Vegas is DEFINTELY not going to be easy next round. But the Canucks are playing with house money right now and are extremely loose compared to a team that has Stanley Cup aspirations, so...who knows??? Maybe they can knock out the Golden Knights and make it even farther? In some way (even thought it will probably hurt me in the pool), I would definitely LOVE to see a Vancouver, Colorado Western Conference Final. That'd be fun.

Playoff Update:
The Montreal Canadiens managed to put up a good fight against the Philadelphia Flyers but it wasn’t nearly enough, as they are defeated by Philadelphia in 6 Games. Philadelphia will now play the New York Islanders in the second round of the playoffs.
Addit, Kentona and UPRC all managed to receive 2 Points each for predicting that the Flyers would be victorious. But it was Addit and Kentona who managed to predict that the series would go six, so they both receive 4 Points instead of the usual two. Kory_Toombs also manages to pick up a Single Point for predicting that the series would also six as well.
And in a bit of a shocker, last year’s defending Stanley Cup Champions, the St. Louis Blues, were taken care of easily by the young, upstart Vancouver Canucks, as they happen to knock off the champs in 6 Games. Vancouver will now take on the Vegas Golden Knights in the second round of the playoffs.
Kory_Toombs, last year’s champion, perhaps managed to save his entire season by having the Canucks be victorious in six games, as he manages to pick up not just 4 Points but 8 Points instead, since they are his Stanley Cup Pick. Addit and Kentona also managed to pick up a Single Point for predicting that the series would go six.
- - -
After the end of the 1st Round, UPRC has a six point lead over Addit and Kory_Toombs who are currently tied for second place coming into the next round. Kentona, who still has an outside chance, is currently in fourth place with thirteen points behind UPRC for the lead. (He’s got some major catching up to do!)

@ GreatRedSpirit - Nah...you would have been smart and bet AGAINIST the Flames this year, like I’ve done so far with the Canucks. Sometimes, you just gotta put team loyalty aside for the greater good…
I can’t believe Dallas managed to come back from 3-0 down and score seven unanswered goals to knock the Flames out! I thought that for sure that they would go to a seventh game, but - nope - not happening! I can’t wait when Calgary panics in the offseason and spends a ton of money on Braden Holtby or Matt Murray only to still fail, lol.
If the Canucks happen to win tomorrow, this might be a three-way battle for first place instead. (Poor Kentona, though, if that happens.)

I think I'll still have a chance as long as the Canucks win in 6 games...
Otherwise this will be a battle for last place.

Playoff Update:
The Washington Capitals decided to check out early this season and take a looonnng nap as they are easily brushed aside by the New York Islanders in 5 Games.
Addit is the only who managed to score any points in this one, as not only does he manage to pick up two points for predicting that the Isles would win, but he also successfully predicted that the series would go five, giving him 4 Points in this one.
Also today, in somewhat anti-climactic fashion, the Calgary Flames had a 3-0 lead slip away in the second period as the Dallas Stars score seven unanswered goals to take care of them in 6 Games and move on to the next round to play against the Colorado Avalanche.
Just like with the Islanders and Capitals series, Addit is the only who manages to pick up any points - yet again - as he receives 2 Points for predicting that the Stars would win that also doubles to four points because the Stars are his Stanley Cup Pick.
- - -
Addit has now rocketed up in the standings to second place overall, passing Kory_Toombs in the process; UPRC, however, is still in the lead.

All right, Islanders!
Now I just need Dallas to take of business either tonight or in Game 7 and I'm back in business. *crosses fingers*

Finally graduated.
High school or post secondary??? Either way, congratulations, you’re a big man now.
Now when your boss comes to you and says, "What are you, stupid enough to not figure out what these figures means!?" You can then turn around to him and say, "Of course I do. I HAVE A CERTIFICATE! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!" before he fires you, lol.

* Finds out that the Bruins and Lightning won today *
God damn it…! That deep hole of mine is now deeper than ever before (despite the fact that I’m 3-1 so far in this round - and doing much better compared to 2-6 in the qualifiers, lol.). Now I’m going to need Dallas and New York to do me a huge solid tomorrow and win (although, preferably, for Dallas, I would like them to win in seven...but whatever, beggars can't be choosers).
Kory can also rebound back in this thing if the Canucks happen to defeat the Blues on Friday. So although we're all behind the eight-ball right now - it's not technically over just yet.
(Also, I had to do a double take on the Avalanche, Coyotes game today; 7-1, again...!?!?!? I thought it was the score from Game 4 on Monday but - nope, lol - they did it again! What a joke. I can't believe that I had such faith in them and they manage to pull this stunt!? Wow...)
author=UPRC
I don't want my Habs to go out, but I'm being realistic here. They really shouldn't even be here, haha.
And now watch them (after you just said that) come back from 3-1 down and beat the Flyers, lol. That would be funny and SO Philadelphia.
But seriously, Montreal should be proud of themselves to get this far and put up such a fight. I don’t know why they don’t play up to their potential more often…but whatever.

Playoff Update:
Earlier today, in overtime, the Tampa Bay Lightning managed to get revenge for last year’s embarrassing first round playoff exit by dispatching the Columbus Blue Jackets in 5 Games to move on to the second round of the playoffs.
Both Addit and UPRC managed to pick up 2 Points each for sticking with the Lightning. UPRC, however, managed to also predict that the series would go to five and he manages to pick himself up an extra two, for 4 Points total.
Also, apparently, no Tuukka Rask - no problem - as the Boston Bruins win a gutsy performance over the Carolina Hurricanes in 5 Games and move on to the next round no problem.
UPRC is the HUUUGGGEEE winner today as not only did he manage to pick the Bruins to win the series and guess the correct number of games right, but because the Bruins are his Stanley Cup Pick, he also receives double the points and scores himself a whopping 8 Points for his efforts (holy moly!). Kentona, however, manages to salvage himself a crucial Single Point in the standings for at least predicting that the series would also go five.
And finally, in an apparent déjà vu of Game 4, the Arizona Coyotes looked completely overwhelmed by the awesomeness that is Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche as they fall to them in 5 Games.
Addit, Kentona and UPRC all managed to pick up 2 Points each for their efforts. But it’s Kentona who manages to rule the day as he managed to successfully predict that the series would go five, so he picks up 4 Points instead of 2.
- - -
But thanks to the Bruins and Lightning winning today, UPRC now has a MASSSIIIVVVEEE lead over the rest of the competition, as he becomes the first participant to hit the thirty point plateau while the rest are pretty much dogfighting for second, third and fourth spot. Although not mathematically over as of yet, UPRC is in the driver’s seat.
