I'm glad I'm wrong about the Wild one (so far). Definitely getting the WPG one wrong. With Laine and Scheifele out, it's probs going to be a sweep. Maybe Hellebuyck can steal a win or two.

Hellebuyk is the reason I picked Winnipeg to win. As meh as their defense was all year, he's been fantastic for them and even if Schiefele and Laine miss some time, I think they can still win the series.

I was impressed with the depth of Winnipeg. I didn't know they'd be able to keep up with and compete with the Flames minus their 2 best forwards. To me, Hellebuyck's the best goalie in the NHL, but I just assumed that Winnipeg would be overwhelmed without either of those 2.

I had NYR because I thought Shesterkin was going to be in net for them. FLA was more of a hope than good pick. The Jets losing their 2 guys sunk their chances.

Has Granlund even been on the ice for the Preds?

Haha I was wondering the same thing! He has been so non-existent in these playoffs so far!

Wow. None of us did that well at picks haha. Props to @wabit for the CHI pick. I thought that was foolish but clearly I was wrong.

3 out of 8.. lol

Draft lottery could get ugly tonight. Some of the teams really don't need a #1 overall pick and yet here we are.. wasn't it technically the WPG lottery spot that they pulled in phase 1 of the draft lottery?

You are correct. It was Winnipeg's card. I shouldn't be getting psyched for tonight, but alas here I am...anxiety rising the closer we get to the big reveal tonight.
