SNN Predicts: 2013 NHL Conference Semi-Finals

Yeah, late again. But only by one period, this time.

May 16: Matt just added his picks to our Google Doc. In they go.

Last round went pretty well, all things considered. Yeah, Montreal got nuked by injuries and a hot goalie, Boston required an historic third-period meltdown to avoid the dreaded 3-1 collapse, Pittsburgh only survived because the Islanders Pittsburghed it up themselves, and Vancouver managed to get swept in the most ironic way possible: taking too many penalties, failing to score, and screaming for Luongo to be put in net. But hey, all of us managed to do pretty well on our picks. Gerard’s clearly the big winner here.

Doogie Gerard Matt Result
4-0 4-0 4-1 4-1
4-2 4-3 4-0 4-3
4-3 4-1 4-1 4-0
4-2 4-2 4-1 4-2
4-2 4-3 4-1 4-2
4-3 4-1 4-2 4-1
4-2 4-2 4-3 4-3
4-0 4-0 4-0 4-3
7-1 7-1 6-2 W-L
13 9 14 GO
2 3 1 PS

Since there’s no rest for the weary (and because the NHL would like to finish before Canada Day), round two begins the night after a pair of Game 7s. I’m tired and sick so this is going to be super fast and superficial. Enjoy?

SNN Predicts: 2013 NHL Conference Quarter-Finals

Yes, we're still doing this.

Welcome to the sixth annual SNN Predicts series of articles (seventh overall, if you count the 2004 version done on the forums, lost to the mists of time but notable for the fact that I went 0-4 in series involving the Flames), in which we act like we know what we’re talking about and make our (mostly) blindingly obvious predictions, with a shocking amount of success, considering some mainstream reporters usually wind up under .500 by the time the Stanley Cup is finally awarded somewhere around Canada Day. This is also at least my fourth year in a row copying and pasting the same intro, because I’m cool like that.

This post is a day late, as is our custom, but I can assure you these picks were made without the benefit of knowing any of the scores in advance. What we do know is that Minnesota and Toronto are hilarious, Chicago and LA are awesome, and two excellent teams are going to vanish in the West in round one, which is a real Goddamned shame, but there you go. Also, I’ve been busy recently, so bite me. No Hoop as of yet, but things can happen at any point, because we’ve long since stopped pretending this was a professional operation. Gerard’s got one of those elsewhere at this point.

Hitmen End-Game: Congratulations

Great season, guys; see you in September.

1 1 0 2
0 0 0 0

 

2 6 2 7 5 3 2 4
3 0 5 3 1 4 0 3

In the end, the better team won. There’s really not much more to say than that. Plus, the scoresheet is currently busted, and I should really be finishing the already-late NHL predictions post. So instead, I present my essentially unaltered notes from tonight’s game.

Hitmen Post-Game: Reprieve

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

2 1 0 0 3
0 1 2 1 4

Game 5 was the first game I missed all playoffs, thanks to Calgary Expo, and it turns out I missed a doozy: the Hitmen got their asses kicked early, and the Oil Kings cruised to victory. You know, again.

Game 6 was shaping up much the same after the first period. (more…)

Hitmen Post-Game: Fuck

Yeah, I got nothing.

5 1 1 7
1 2 0 3

Let’s just go ahead and blame tonight’s debacle on karma and call it a day.

Game 5 Friday night in Edmonchuk. Bring home the chance to close ‘er out at home, boys. Go Hitmen.
