So, in round three there are a total of 60 total points up for grabs. Fifteen for picking the winner and an additional fifteen if you get the number of games correct.
Thumbs up to Bryce for picking his team in six against SJ. As well there were a couple of guys who got blanked that round which is somewhat understandable.
Alright, here are my picks for the third round.
Anaheim over Edmonton: The dream run is over boys. Rolosson has played well enough to get resigned in the offseason and will falter just enough to let the Ducks slip by. Teemu is going to continue to shine and the Neidermeyer boys will really elevate their games. Make no mistake, these will be close games, but I can envision Edmonton losing the series at home in game six.
Buffalo over Carolina: The Canes are good, maybe even great but we saw a chink in Cam Ward's armour last round against the Devils. I think the Sabres speed and depth will turn out to be a Caniacs nightmare. The Sabres have a better D-corps and their potent three line attack will diminish the usefulness of Rob Brind'Amour. I see Lindy rolling those lines and tiring out Eric Staal. I'm inclined to say this series will go six games, but I have a sneaky suspicion the Sword will oust Laviolette's club in five. Look for Buffalo to clinch a final berth on the road!

Oilers over Anaheim in 5 Buffalo over Carolina in 6
I was 7/8 in the first round 3/4 in the second round.........You may bow down.....and as much as we make fun of Canuck fans, kudos to you for not being bandwagon jumpers and continuing to pick against the mighty Oil.....Good on you, and yes that's all you have to be proud of at this point
Oh one more thing, for those of you that know my brother Kirk, he honestly predicted an Oilers-Sabres final at the start of the playoffs....needless to say, he's kicking our ass in the family draft.

knowing Kirk, he is never gonna let anyone forget that.
He'll be 80 talking sitting in the nursing home saying
Kirk: HA, Im the only one who predicted a Sabres Oilers final, you didnt so you must bow to me Nurse: Sir, I didnt pick them, but I wasnt even born for 40 more years Kirk: so you admit it, you didnt pick them, Im the best you suck and Trevor sucks, the Thornton for Arnott trade went down in history, Im the greatest GM ever, and btw whats the salary cap, I cant seem to remember? Nurse: sir, your talking jibberish again Kirk: yeah but I picked the Oilers Sabres final, now come here and let me rub your heiny in exchange for this gum drop. Nurse: Sir, I told you, Im not gay.
