Hey, I know about Justin Morneau thanks to Elise...lol. Interesting predictions, but I hate Dallas so GO DUCKS.

On another baseball note, did you see Baby Bradke is out with a strained bicep?! Cuddy is also out with some finger problem or something. But yay Morneau!

Marie said...

Don't they reseed after the first round? If that's the case, then your matchups would be:
Detroit v. Dallas
SJ v. Minny
Montreal v. Philly
Pitt v. NYR

Hmmm...maybe I should make predictions all the way to the Cup. The reseeding makes it difficult.

Bethany-Thanks. Some of the predictions are a little random, but still better thought out than my basketball prediction that I was just forced to make.

Elise-I saw! I'm so mad! Cuddy is one of my faves, and obviously Baby Bradke is/we don't need any of our reasonably good pitchers injured.

KMS2-um maybe? If that's true, then crap, I forgot about it, and you are correct.

It's on like Donkey Kong now

Dare said...

KMS2 is right. The highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed and so on down the line.

A Montreal cup would be pretty intense.

My dream match up? Calgary/Montreal. I can't even count the ways in which I'd love it. Too bad my rational side tells me it's about as likely as my name being pulled in the Flames playoff ticket draw...

Montreal!!!!

Dude, just heard Nicky is out after having an appendectomy. Haven't been paying any attention to the Twins yet. Sending all my good karma to the Wild. Obviously, that isn't working.
