Philadelphia Flyers Pittsburgh is the favorite and they should be given the fact they finished the season in 2nd place in the entire Eastern Conference. Marc-Andre Fleury allows close to one fewer goal per game than Martin Biron and is tied with ...

Posted 5/8/2008 on Hockey Beat - Hockey News

2008 Playoffs: Second Round Recap

Posted 5/7/2008 on Chris Yarbrough's Taking One For The Team

Well that didn't take long! The second round of the NHL playoffs went by pretty fast as only one series failed to see a team go up 3-0. Ultimately there was only one series sweep, but the second round flew by nonetheless. Let's take a final look back at how I fared with my predictions (quite well if I may say). Pittsburgh v Rangers I said: Pens in 6 What happened: Pens in 5 Comments: I ...

Eastern Conference Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Penguins (2) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (6)

Posted 5/9/2008 on Every Facet of the Game

It always takes me being backed up against a wall to get this series predictions done, and the puck drops in fifteen minutes, so it's probably time to get something here. Once again I'll preface this series by admitting the incredible self interest I have in it. However at the same time, these are probably the two teams I know more than any other in the league. As a Penguins fan I've been ...

I nailed round two as I went 4 for 4 as far as correctly guessing which team would win each series. Combined with my 5-3 record from the opening round that pushes my record this year to 9-3.
