Playoff Prediction Project Part 3

May 14, 2011, 12:45 EDT
It’s time for the conference finals. In the East, Dwayne Roloson has been arguably the best player of this post-season, back-stopping the Lightning to a third-round battle with the Boston Bruins. Out west, it’s a championship of chokers as the much-maligned Canucks will face the San Jose Sharks.
Wanye went over the standing among writers for the first two rounds yesterday, and I will have a ranking for everyone in Oilers Nation before the Stanley Cup finals begin. Until then, here are the writer picks for Round 3, and please get your picks in below.
| Writer | VAN/S.J. | Games | BOS/T.B. | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Drance | VAN | 5 | T.B. | 7 |
Gregor | S.J. | 7 | BOS | 6 |
Lansky | VAN | 7 | BOS | 5 |
Lowetide | VAN | 7 | BOS | 7 |
Wanye | S.J. | 6 | BOS | 6 |
Willis | VAN | 6 | BOS | 6 |
Wilson | VAN | 7 | T.B. | 7 |
Contest closes at puck-drop tonight.
In the meantime, I know I went with the consensus and picked Boston, but I will be cheering Dwayne Roloson and the Tampa Bay Lightning all the way to Game One of the Stanley Cup finals, at which point I fully expect Marc-Andre Bergeron to dump Tanner Glass all over his awesomely ancient goaltender.
