-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that you will only be able to fill out your picks for round one at the moment. You'll have to wait a good 2-3 weeks to make your round 2 picks, so make sure you remember. I'll PM you all reminders and everything so it shouldn't be a big deal. This is not a one-time commitment of five minutes; it's more like a four-time commitment that will total ten minutes in all.

The first round starts on April 12, so get your first round picks in by that time.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

I'm predicting the Canucks choke in the beginning.

And by choke, I mean get beaten by a highly underrated LA Kings team that will just just play very good hockey.

Correction...the playoffs start on Wednesday the 11th.

I'm half tempted to half root for the Panthers because I perceive them as a joke team. I've NEVER been to one of their games where their fans were not out numbered by like twice by the other team's fan.
