Western Conference Prediction Update

ESPN hasn't called to hire me yet, but I'm expecting that call to come any day now. A week ago, I predicted the exact opposite of EVERY SINGLE "expert" in the two "upset- potential series'." A 3-seed vs. a 6-seed and a 4-seed vs. a 5-seed could, and should always be open to go either way, so I can't argue with the so-called "experts" in the Calgary/Anaheim and San Jose/Nashville series', because either team they pick has a decent chance. However, a 2-seed should almost always beat a 7-seed, and a 1-seed should always beat an 8-seed, so I call those the "upset-potential series'." A so-called "expert" should know when to pick the lower seed, and not just pick the higher seed because they are ranked higher. Anyone ever heard of George Mason?

Like I've been saying over and over, Detroit's regular season record was decieving. They acquired all their points against awful teams, which made them look ten times better than they actually are. Edmonton is exposing this weekness, and as of now has a 2-1 lead in the series. Only one "expert" picked the Oilers to win, and only one of the "experts" is going to be correct. Nice pick, Amber.

Dallas won 12 of their games because of shootouts. Guess what? No shootouts in the playoffs. The Avalanche have dominated the Stars in every aspect of every game, and will continue to do so. The only change I would make on this prediction is changing it to Avs in 5 instead of Avs in 6, and that's only if the Stars can get lucky enough to win one game.

The "experts" are awful. They need to hire me next year.
