Ah and there we go. i knew there would be someone to just pick all upper seeded teams.

we'll call that the easy way out. lol Next sure i'll make a bonus point for getting an upset pick correctly. lol

I'm the champion for a reason...start the smack talk AFTER you're in the lead...IF you ever find yourself lost there

hehehe. Hey, i'd rather lose and have the balls to pick some long shots then to just win and play it pu...i mean safe.

sides. that why i said next time i'll add a bonus point for picking an upset and getting it right. let ppl get rewarded for picking the tougher ones.

This is a silly argument...There is almost always a lower seed that beats a higher seed, so in some ways it takes more guts to pick every higher seed because rarely do all of them advance...At least that's how I see it.

Im a little late on this but....

Western Conference

Vancover in 5
Dallas in 6
Detroit in 4
San Jose in 7

Eastern Conference

Tampa Bay in 4
Montreal in 7
Philly in 6
Ottawa in 6

[Perfect Stu]

you're kidding, right? you think I based my picks off of the top 4 seeds?

sad...

-If Toronto would have lost last night, I would have still picked them
-I would have gone with Montreal if they hadn't lost 5 of their last 7 games or whatever
-Since when is betting against Brodeur and the defending champs "having no balls"?

You pick the teams you think will win...no? I do, at least...I don't make my picks to try to be able to claim I had the balls to pick an "underdog".

sad...

Of course, I could end this whole post with a wink...but you had to stir the pot first. And all teams in the playoffs are now 0-0...there shouldn't be any bonus points based off of regular season standings. That would change the way people pick completely...

[Typhoid]

How about we stop this argument, theres always higher teams that go on, and theres always lower seeds that go on. your both right.
