Null's NHL Playoff Game 2002

[Null]

Well. continuing my NHL playoff tradition.... Heres the contest again.

----------------[RULES]----------------------
1. For each matchup, pick a winner, and a best of 7 games the winner wins by (IE: takes 4 to win, so how many games of the 7 possible will the series last?)
2. Any changes made to the guesses after the playoff series starts will be "nullified"
3. 1 point for guessing the team right. bonus point for guessing the correct number of games.

Now this year with these dblns things.. whatever they are, i dont use em. BUT. 2 ways we can do this. 1 - I can give 1000 To the winner (thats the way it will be now unless changed) 2 i dont know if you'll all want to do it. depends on how many people particapate. each person could make a 100 dbln bet into the pot. and winner takes it all. *shrugs* whatever.
