Hockey Pick Recipe...sauteed in hope with a hint of schadenfreude seasoning...

UPDATED! UPDATED!
If you really want to see how terrible i did with my last picks, check out the original post. Go ahead. See. Terrible!

Call this a redemption. More of an educated guess really. Here goes:

Second Round
East - two GREAT matchups
Ottawa over Buffalo in 7 - DEAD WRONG!
New Jersey over Carolina in 6 - no chance at this, but Jersey can still win in seven.

West
San Jose over Edmonton in 6 - this could happen.
Colorado over Anaheim in 6 - DEAD WRONG!

Conference Finals
East
New Jersey over Ottawa in 7
West
San Jose over Colorado in 6

Stanley Cup
New Jersey over San Jose

(mind you, given the jinx that my picks had in the last round, perhaps these selections were done to mess up the teams in this round and beyond. maybe i really want the teams i picked to lose. i mean, that is true of the Ottawa pick. this is why i pick Duke in one of my NCAA Basketball pools. picking who you hate is hedging your bets.

(if they win, you picked right; if they lose, they are out of the playoffs. either way, you win.

(hey, if you were a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Detroit Lions, and Detroit Tigers, you would somehow seek happiness in the misfortunes of other teams.
schadenfreude is my shield and my sword. it's estoppel, really.)
