Well, most of us got burned by Montreal ... again. When I'm feeling a bit better, hopefully late tonight, I will update the standings. [update: done!] Until then, you can feel free to post your predictions below. Here's what's left...

Philadelphia (7) vs. Montreal (8) in the East

San José (1) vs. Chicago (2) in the West

Pick smart, not homer. Also, anyone visiting from other blogs is welcome to join, but you could be behind as much as 160 points, if the East didn't keep creating upsets. Now that there's only a 7th and 8th seed left in the East, can we really call it an upset?

Reminder that the scoring is as follows...

10 points for picking the right team in the correct number of games

8 points for picking the right team but wrong on number of games in the series by 1

6 points for picking the right team but wrong on number of games in the series by 2

4 points for picking the right team but wrong on number of games in the series by 3

3 points for picking the wrong team but series goes to 7 games

2 points for picking the wrong team but series goes to 6 games

1 point for picking the wrong team but series goes to 5 games

0 points for picking the wrong team and there's a sweep!

Updated scores below. Remember that round 2 series have their points doubled. Round 3 has a multiplier of 4, so there are still 80 points out there for the taking before we get to the SCF.
