Well some of my predictions were close. Some games simply baffled me. I have no idea how some of those series were so lopsided. Anyway I'll give my predictions for the second round after a brief overlook at how well I predicted them. I've randomly decided to give myself points for how close I was.

BUF/NYI - BUF win in 5 (my prediction: BUF in 4) 3pts        

NJ/TB - NJ win in 6 (my prediction: NJ in 5) 3pts

ATL/NYR - NYR win in 4 (my prediction: ATL in 7) 0pts    

OTT/PIT - OTT win in 5 (my prediction: OTT in 6) 3pts

DET/CAL - DET win in 6 (my prediction: DET in 6) 5pts    

ANA/MIN - ANA win in 5 (my prediction: MIN in 7) 0pts

VAN/DAL - VAN win in 7 (my prediction: VAN in 6) 3pts   

NSH/SJ - SJ win in 5 (my prediction: SJ in 7) 1pt

Total: 18 out of a total-40 ( which would be hard to get.)

I based my point system on no. of games away from actual ones played and who actually won the series.

And now for Round 2 predictions. (these are the better of the 16 teams so it's going to be alot harder to predict.)

(1)BUF - (6)NYR   Winner: BUF in 4

(2)NJ - (4)OTT     Winner: NJ in 7

(1)DET - (4)SJ      Winner: SJ in 6

(2)ANA - (3) VAN   Winner: ANA in 5

Now we play the waiting game to see who makes it to the conference finals.
