We’re back! Welcome to the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Our Game

With 20 players, we’re playing for a top prize of $90.00 and subsidiary prizes down to fifth place. Please welcome Dustin and JJ to their first Prediction Challenge game. I hope you enjoy the next two months!

Every team has at least one player picking them to advance, while the pivotal series for this round, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the Los Angeles Kings-Edmonton Oilers matchup.

Our predictions are summarized below.
