Throughout the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, we’ll go round-by-round and predict the outcomes of each playoff series. We begin today with the first round, with the BSH staff predicting who we think will win each of the eight series on deck.
The panel
- Travis Hughes, four-eyed robot
- Kurt R., “got sick” once when he was supposed to get beers with Travis & Albert
- Collin Mehalick, check out these gainz, bro
- Kelly Hinkle, compiler of links
- Meseret H., not on Twitter just like Joffrey Lupul
- Allison Jenkins, the quiet one … never trust the quiet ones
- Mary Clarke, went to Penn State for some reason?
- Lindsey Smith, Phantoms reporter extraordinaire
- Andrew Devitt, nerdy human
- Ryan Gilbert, tall human
- Ben Rothenberg, the uglier lost soul
- Albert K., manipulating the data to advance his own agenda
- Charlie O’Connor, the smart, reasonable one
- Kevin Christmann, recently purchased a $30,000 wedding ring
- Campfire Bot, our friendly chat room computer (see it make its picks here)/
