Stephan Petersen (AKA. Hockey Guru):

EAST:
PIT over MTL in 5
PHI over BOS in 6

WEST:
DET over SJ in 5
VAN over CHI in 7

Aww shucks. Since I have little chance of winning, I am mostly picking underdogs and the amazing Red Wings.
MTL in 6
BOS in 7
DET in 6
CHI in 5

Points leader after second round... Patrick Kane
Most goaltender interference penalties... Dustin Byfulgien
Greatest beard after two rounds... Tie between Daniel Cleary and Jonathan Toews
Most times losing his helmet through two rounds... Scott Gomez

Is it too late to switch my pick for the San Jose/Detroit series to DET over SJ in 6 instead of 5?
