I don't know. But it was the same guy who told me Ghost was signed before it was posted on here. So, much like government approvals, if something works once, it always works.

I see.

Something tells Mason is a go for tomorrow. The fact that he finished out the period bodes well to me

My picks for the first round

Boston vs Detroit
I know a lot of folks are picking an upset here, but I just don't see it. To me, the regular season record between the two means squat. The Bruins are just too deep up front and I'll take Rask over Howard. Bruins in 6

Montreal vs Tampa
The Lightning are really going to miss Bishop as this series goes on and the Canadiens have some guy named Briere who seems to do ok in playoff games. However the Lightning have battled all year and they will make the Habs work their tails off. Montreal in 7

Flyers vs the spawn of satan aka the Rangers
I see a split in both buildings and a 2-2 series after 4 games. I then see the Flyers winning game 5 in NY and finishing off the Rags at home. Flyers in 6

Pittsburgh vs Columbus
Bobrovsky will outplay Fleury, but it won't be quite enough. Penguins in 6

Chicago vs St. Louis
The Blues are pretty banged up, though Toews and Kane are coming off injuries as well. However the Blackhawks are a team built for the post season and Miller just doesn't seem comfortable in St. Louis. This one will go the wire, but in the end it will be: Chicago in 7

Colorado vs Minnesota
The Avs don't have a whole lot of playoff experience and they will only go as far as Varlamov will take them. However they should have enough to get by the Wild. Colorado in 7

Anaheim vs Dallas
Dallas is a relatively young team that should be very proud of themselves for the season they had. However they are not quite there yet, and I can't see them beating the Ducks. The games will be close, and the Stars will never quit, but Anaheim is just the better team. Anaheim in 6

San Jose vs Los Angeles
The West coast war begins!! One of these teams may well win the cup while the other will be on the golf course in 2 weeks, unreal. It seems that most are picking the Kings, but San Jose IMO has been looking ahead to the playoffs almost since the season started. For guys like Thorton and Boyle this may be their last shot to win it all in San Jose and I think they find a way to get past an extremely tough Kings club. San Jose in 7

GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that WOULD be one way to get Lundqvist off his game, I suppose.

I could certainly see Tampa winning, it's gonna be a close one. And sadly, I can see the Rags winning, however I really think that no matter what, the series is going at least 6. LA/SJ was the toughest one to pick, the only thing I'm really sure of is that it is going 7. And finally, while I too picked Chicago, I don' t see any series this round ending in 4.

There always seems to be at least 1 sweep. I went out on a limb. I feel if Chicago can get the first game, things may snowball on the Blues. They've been trending downward. More like free falling downward. If the series started in Chicago, I wouldn't be calling for a sweep.
