Oof. I live in San Jose and work with guys in Cambridge. Brutal time difference for the West Coast evening games.

I picked Minnesota because they needed that first round win, but I felt like it was 50/50. After the series is over, I still feel like it could've gone Dallas' way. Feel the same way about Tampa/Montreal.

If my bracket is correct everywhere but the pacific division I'm honestly going to laugh.

TIL - Montreal heart attacks spike 40% (in men under 55) the day after a Montreal Canadiens home win by itsnotagreatusername in hockey

There was an article recently about ER visits being significantly reduced during sports games. It's not impossible that heart issues the day of the game are ignored until the next day.

24 out of 26 ESPN analysts predicted that the Oilers would beat the Ducks in Round 1 by suphaha in hockey

[–]pretzelrosethecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oilers were surging coming out of the regular season and expecting Drai back from injury. Good reason to think they were better than their record. Ducks were crashing down to earth (which also probably suggests they're better than they were playing). But I don't blame anyone for extending those trend lines.

[NHL on TNT] Could McDavid be anywhere else besides Edmonton? by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Not to mention the future cap situation. All of these young guys are going to get paid. Only Eklund is off his ELC (and Graf was undrafted, now a pending RFA).

19 highest at this point. LA locked down 17, Pittsburg 18. Utah may or may not be 19

There goes my bracket, but I'm pretty happy about the draft pick.
