Throughout the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, we’re going round-by-round and predicting the outcomes of each playoff series. We’re on to the second round, with the BSH staff predicting who we think will win each of the four series that just happened to be finalized last night.
Once again, the panel:
- Travis Hughes, New Mexico’s top hockey correspondent
- Kurt R., guy who showed no heart in the first round just like that _laude guy
- Collin Mehalick, guy who is super excited now that #ClutchTime is over with
- Eric T., momentum advocate
- Albert Kleine, investigative journalist/poet/colonel
- Charlie O’Connor, guy who got lucky with his first round picks
- Kevin Christmann, guy who STILL writes all of our Andrew MacDonald stories
- Kelly Hinkle, master link-putter-togetherer
- Campfire Bot, our (sometimes) friendly chat room computer (see him make his second round picks here)/
