That's pretty cool on that website. I poked around with it for a while. I agree with your picks, except for the championship game: I think Bucky is going to give the Sioux a run for the title. They fired a total of 111 shots on goal this past weekend and put up 11 goals, only allowing 3, to a pretty decent Mankato team. Duluth will win the play in game, they're better built for a small rink. When Wisconsin gets going, they're very tough, simply because of the style of hockey they can play: stone wall defense, meaning they only need 2 goals sometimes to win. I love it that the Miami Red-Hacks are out too, they're a cup cake. How about that win by the Penguins yesterday over the Bruins?
ReplyDeleteI watched the end of that game because I was working tomorrow. I did manage to watch the Blue dismantle the Wild as well.
