Here's the review of round 1.
Round 1
Eastern Conference
Tampa Bay (A1) vs. Columbus (WC2)
My Pick: Bolts in 5
Result: Blue Jackets in 4
Final thought: Tampa Bay went from a 62 win wonder to being a doormat in 4 games, unbelievable.

Winnipeg (C2) vs. St. Louis (C3)
My Pick: Jets in 7
Result: Blues in 6

My Pick: Flames in 5

Now as usual before the picks here's my concept based on my road hockey team the Stallions. It's was back in December were my team decided to rebrand and need a new look, so I just join in and show off my design on which looks good for the team, that including a new logo to go with it which I put it together for them so without due here's the Stallions Road Hockey logo.
Indeed it's a round shape logo with the "Stallions Hockey Club" on it with a horseshoe in the middle with tweaks on the ends of the shoe to shape like a hockey sticks for that last touch feel to it, black and gold are the colours for this logo. I presented to my team, and the captains love it.
Well, it's time for my round 2 picks.
Eastern Conference
Boston (A2) vs. Columbus (WC2)

NY Islanders (M2) vs. Carolina (WC1)
My pick: Islanders in 5
Western Conference
St. Louis (C3) vs. Dallas (WC1)
My pick: Blues in 6
San Jose (P2) vs. Colorado (WC2)
My pick: Sharks in 7
And so this one is in the books come back for round 2 review, my round 3 picks and more Stallions goodies. Til then enjoy round 2.
Wow! What a turnaround for this season in the playoffs, with almost all top & 2nd-top seeds per division to not advance. Major upset alert without any consent. Now that would change things a bit more as the games will proceed.
ReplyDeleteAnd amazing concept of that logo, representing your local team very well. :)
