My picks for these first games were:
Penguins over the Caps 4 - 3 in one OT.
Final score: Pens 3, Caps 2 in regular game time.
Sharks over Vegas (LV) 3 - 1.
Final score: LV 7 (yes, SEVEN) - Sharks 0.
[1 correct winner pick; 0 score picks]
The Sharks-LV game was brutal to watch. There were men on the ice wearing the San Jose Sharks' uniforms, but they appeared completely unfamiliar with hockey, despite all their efforts.
At the end of the first period, LV had 3 goals, and they continued ferocious, unrelenting top tier play for the rest of the game. It was hard to watch.
Game 2 is Saturday. We'll see what adjustments are made by the Sharks to deal with, what seems to be, an unstoppable LV force.
Initially, the Pens couldn't get their act together. It changed dramatically in period three, the Pens tied, and then won the game.
Pens Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel are the players responsible for taking this potential win away from Washington.
The incredible Pens goalie, Matt Murray, deflected an onslaught of pucks from Washington, in what has to be seen to be believed.
Game 2 is Sunday.
Only one game tonight, April 27; Game 1 of Winnipeg at Nashville.
My guess: Jets 5 - Predators 3
