How soon? Like, now soon. Jump city ladies and gentleman.
A couple of notes:
1) I have broken down each round by the amount of points everyone has earned. On the off-chance I made an error computing your score, this will make it easier for you to double check each round. Let me know of any discrepancies in the comments.
2) Only those who have submitted predictions for every round have been counted. This is fairly obvious considering the circumstances- if you skipped a round, you're going to have a lower point total. Sorry slackers. Also, if you did submit three predictions and I didn't get to it, let me know in the comments.
3) Lowest point total wins. Remember that your point total is the sum of the differences. Round two is multiplied by 1.5, round three 1.75, and the SCF by 2.

Okay … I would say I suck at this, but I guess being somewhere in the middle both times means I should never bet money on anything. ugh!!!!

I am amused that Gray and I got the same amount of points for the second round despite having completely opposite picks. Actually, I am amused that we have the same amount of points, period. I am easily amused.

I got all excited when I saw how many points I had, then I read the fine print. Stupid fine print.

Hmmm...
My second round wasn’t really so good. Hopefully I"ll pick it up here in the 3rd round…but Detroit slaughtering Chicago tonight gets me off to a rocky start.

i only got 1 out of the 4 conference semifinals right. thank god for carolina, they made me look somewhat respectable. i thought for sure that i would be in last.

Aww, come on
I know I missed first round picks, but you could at least put me on the table for my second round magic!
damn
anaheim was 1 game away from making me look like a genius. i would’ve called both upsets.

Don’t know if anyone else has read this – Why the Stanley Cup Matters So Much
I’ve said it for years and years – the Stanley Cup Playoffs are not an event or a happening, they’re a religion. They are the holiest two months in all of sports. There is no other sporting equivalent to the intensity, power, skill and importance of the quest for Lord Stanley’s cup. But so many people I know ask me why? Why is it I put off EVERYTHING to see the playoffs, even if my team isn’t involved?
Keep reading for more.

You're sharking it, Plank!
I didn’t drop nearly as far or as hard as I had thought. That’s rather nice to know.

We no longer have matching scores.

I know, sad!
btw totally OT but did you watch Leo v Sex on SYTYCD? Over edited, but still, brilliant.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
Ahh, not yet
I’m watching it over my DVR, and right now I’m at the Evgeni Malkin/Steven Fry look-alike (if that makes any sense at all) – the one right after the tattoo guy.
But it looks absolutely hilarious.

it maked sense
they’re the last thing. Mina referred to Leo as the AO of SYTYCD. Awesome!

I don’t, but you did. */me sighs
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
Haha
Just saw it – Leo’s twirlies were obviously superior to Sex’s floor work. Plus, Sex was gassed at the end, while Leo looked like he could twirl all day.
And yes, any reference to hockey in a mainstream show is a plus in my book, lol.
"I think I realized after the second or third punch, I should have taken his helmet off sooner." - Ryane Clowe
Fools and Sages
yeah, poor sex
but he did get to move on for the first time ever. He actually did better than I thought he would.
I think Leo’s a pro. You could tell that he has embraced the club life.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
Ya know, I have to hand it to you guys for being able to come out here and boldly use the word “twirlies.”
Oh, and sex is always poor when you try a move for the first time ever. Good on you for realizing that and applauding the effort.
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
Sex has had a lot of practice
but he couldn’t stand up to Leo’s club training.
I hope this confusing you all as much as it did Lurker.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
Very true
Sex is all about the “high” kicks and the floor work, but he just couldn’t match Leo’s endless number of hops and twirlies. And I believe I did see one high kick by Leo that the producers failed to catch, which just tips the scale even more in favor of him. Sex is rather tenacious, though, and I have to give him props for that. But Sex’s mom is really creepy. I just had to put that in.
And yeah, I’m pretty sure nobody outside of us has any idea of what we’re talking about.
"I think I realized after the second or third punch, I should have taken his helmet off sooner." - Ryane Clowe
Fools and Sages
yeah
his mom creeps me out. I wonder if he takes next season off. I mean, he’s now been granted the chance to dance with the rest of the maybes. That’s probably as far as he’ll ever get.
Was he wearing a very tiny sparkly silver belt? I swear he was.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
He said he was going to come back after the choreography round, sooo… Yeah. He’s probably coming back. With his incredibly creepy mom, of course (wasn’t it so weird how he asked his mom permission to take part in that dance-off?).
He might have been – I was too distracted by his odd jean shorts/tube socks combo. And by Leo’s dancing skillz.
"I think I realized after the second or third punch, I should have taken his helmet off sooner." - Ryane Clowe
Fools and Sages
I KNOW!
he’s a grown man and he asked his mom, and then seemed unsure when she said yes.
The high waisted jean shorts and tube socks I could live with but with that dress shirt? Dude needs some fashion help, STAT.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com. Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!"
And I have a feeling that his mom is a large part of the reason why he keeps coming back year after year to try out – she keeps telling him that he can dance, and that he’s great and all that, and he believes it. And it doesn’t help that she shows up to every single audition.
Oh, and yeah. His dress sense is non-existent. I mean, his hair and glasses alone are enough to condemn him, but when you add his shirt, shorts, socks, and shoes into the equation… Ugh.

Sex is a minor celebrity in the sytycd world.
The bit with Katee and Joshua after Adam danced on stage was really amusing.

Seriously
Adam has quickly established himself as one of my favorite judges. And then Katee and Joshua are amazing, of course.

There really is no other way to describe the move that Leo did other than “twirly.” There really isn’t.

Man, I’m surprised at how well I’m doing. I’m always making one big mistake each round, though (taking the Columbus upset special in round 1, the Bruins in round 2 and taking the Hawks in the WCF).

also
it’s impossible to have everyone above average. if everyone was above average, it wouldn’t be that great, it would just be…average. so unless you want a bunch of clones (unless it’s clones of boyle, pavelski) being average isn’t bad either…usually.
