NHL Picks Continues

This post will publish on Thursday, May 4th, mid-afternoon so the current standings are accurate at the time of publishing.

Yeah, yeah...I know. "Oh, another long, boring NHL post," is what just crossed your mind. Well, cheer up, I'll be back to dissing Liberals quicker than you can say, "The Russians stole the Stanley Cup."

We have Nashville leading their series against St. Louis by 3 - 1.

The Edmonton Oilers vs the Anaheim Ducks series is tied at two games each.

Ottawa leads their series against the N.Y. Rangers 2 - 1.

The Penguins lead their series against the Washington Capitals 3 - 1.

I think it inevitable that the two teams vying for this years Stanley Cup will be the Nashville Predators vs the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Outcomes:

I think Nashville ends the series with a win in St. Louis tomorrow.

The Penguins end their series with a win in Washington on Saturday.

In the previous bracket, the Ducks beat Calgary in a 4 - 0 series sweep. Their battle against Edmonton is, obviously, more difficult for them and this could be a full seven game series.

Whether it's the Ducks or the Oilers who win their series, Nashville will beat either team (I'm convinced of it) and move on to face the Penguins.

Pittsburgh will beat whomever wins in the Rangers - Ottawa series.

A "Peeps" Zamboni. Awesome!

The However:

Nashville is on a roll and there seems to be no end in it stopping anytime soon.

Also, one cannot ever underestimate the Ducks. Or the Oilers. Or Ottawa. (Am I covering all my bases...just like a politician? :).

But I said Detroit cannot be underestimated at the beginning of this season and they tanked and stayed down the full season. Look for them to be on fire next season.

Scores:

Tomorrow:  Nashville 5 - St. Louis 4.
Saturday: The Penguins 3 - The Capitals 2 in one OT.

The Ducks vs the Oilers and Ottawa vs N.Y. I just don't know. Any one of them could hit a streak and upset every pick I make.

Injuries, who and how severe, is always the unknown factor.
