Here are my bracket picks for the 2018 NHL playoffs. I realize this would have been more entertaining has I posted this at the beginning of the playoffs rather than at the end, but I did not believe that I would have predicted the entire bracket! I also know that if I had put money on this, I would have won a fair pot. This bracket was just for bragging rights, which I am exercising today. The last couple of times I put real money down on the playoffs, I never made it out of the first round.
So, it looks like I have the Washington Capitals to win the Stanley Cup. My guess is that Alex Ovechkin will be on a mission to hoist the Cup now that Sidney Crosby is relegated to watching the games on television just like the rest of us.
