Yeah SmartMuffin is running it so can tally it up, or anyone can since the round 1 totals and round 2 picks are earlier in this topic

Boston +8
St Louis +4

Seriously though, fuck the Bruins.

Or in a proper format:

+8 Bruins
+4 Blues

I am now torn between keeping my Blues support or rooting for the Thornton cup, but whoever wins I'll root for in the cup finals, for sure.

I am curious, for the Hurricanes prediction pickers (other than Emeraldegg who I know is a dyed-in-the-wool fan) whether it's driven by hate of Boston or legit thinking the Canes can do it...

Boston +8
St Louis +4

Seriously though, fuck the Bruins.

PLAY GLORIA!!!

I knew I should have done blues +6 instead of blues +4...

^ what he said! When I ranked the final 8 at the end of the last topic they were my 8th place team. Granted Carolina was 6th or 7th but yeah.

Auto-rooting for whoever emerges from the west, hopefully Sharks win tonight.

Edit: woo found it from the site that shall not be named

UNOFFICIAL REMAINING TEAM RANKING

(1) St. Louis: I'm a homer for Binnington and a team that was dead last on January 2 continuing their ridiculous run

(2) Columbus: nobody believed in them, how far can they keep rolling?

(3) San Jose: Thornton and Karlsson, Stanley Cup, 'nuff said (well, also the miracle comeback vs. Vegas)

(4) Dallas: how long ago was their owner shit-talking their best players? How was this the season that Ben Bishop finally delivered with a ridiculous career renaissance?

(5) Colorado: worst team left curbstomped the Flames, nice

(6) Carolina: yeah....

(7) Islanders: no....

(8) Boston: is probably the best team left and would be the worst team to win, which means they probably will.

At least the west is still rolling.

The Canes are our only hope.

Imagine if Boston sweeps them

The Penguin lulz

THE LULZ

If Boston is to win this is the only scenario I want.

Seriously cant believe i need to root for Carolina, what a shitshow. Fuck the Bruins.

Also thought we were heading to OT, damn it.

The hardest part I have in believing that is Vegas running more than 99.6% of cap last year, surely they had room to spare on their island of misfit toys...

The Marlies are now 5-0 in the playoffs. Repeat incoming!

Did the Leafs send down all their players or is this a completely independent squad?

I mean, if it's the latter then that still gives me some hope for the future, if there's still lots of talent down there, I guess...

And I dont like it one bit because the teams I'm rooting for were all up 2-1 before losing game 4...

If we get an all-wildcard conference final in the east after all this...

I mean I don't want it in the west since I want the Blues to win it all but yeah

So, Tampa Bay Lightning as Stanley Cup champions, eh

Does anyone believe Champions League > Premier League, though? Because then playoffs work...

Just pulled up the NBA playoff bracket, a sport I don't follow (Raptors still in it though!)

First round:
-The higher seed won every series
-6 of the 8 series were over in 4 or 5 games (1 in 6, 1 in 7)

...and I just laughed when thinking about the NHL first round. Just so ridiculous.

Happy the Blues won tonight too!

Here's something that popped into my head - couldn't they have taken care of the reality and power stones at the same time by going to the Collector when the Guardians arrived there in gotg1? Both stones would have been there briefly before the explosion happened

Maybe too many people around, too much danger of running into people? While just dealing with a single Quill made it seem so easy, and it would've been ordinarily....

But really it served two primary purposes:
(1) get the hammer back
(2) give Thor his nice personal moment to complement Tony's in the 70s

Wow that quiz is great, somebody needs to compile everyone's results

I mean, at least he got dinged for it?

ok @Bane_Of_Despair , good news:

I watched Zootopia and I understand why Nick won the contest now. Good character!

I also didn't know he was voiced by Jason Bateman so another great plus!

Oops was busy with KH BBS and forgot to vote before midnight.

Do you have a KH playthrough topic going on

I gotta have more KH playthrough topics to follow!

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

Martin you haven't even seen Zootopia how can you say yikes

Probably the fact Simba completely fucking curbstomped Pooh and Nick in the F3 which made his victory seem assured. So I don't know what happened here but I consider it disappointing?

I will be watching Zootopia this weekend in his honour, though! I'll report back on my findings.

Yikes

That's what I get for not voting Pooh in the final 3, I guess

poor Simba...

oh, sorry about that.... but on the bright side, it was a warning to impending misery

Andddd turned on the tv just as they were celebrating the tie goal.

TV turned back off...

2 goals in 13 seconds? at even strength?

4th place with that score is amazing.

Also 8 of that 10 is Boston isn't it? So, 2/8 series.

What a year...

Doesn't really matter what my total is after round 1 and I don't want to forget to do it tomorrow so here we go, on pure instinct.

+8 Sharks
+6 Islanders
+4 Blues
+2 Bluejackets

Top 10 promos? More like top 10th through 2nd place promos, am I right.

If what I think is #1 isn't...
