As you already know (if you read this), the hockey bloggers in the Sports Federation are involved in a little prognosticate-off with the "Experts" from Hardcore Hockey Talk as part of The Score's Playoff Hockey Challenge with the goal to see who has the larger brains.
The 2nd round is complete and we're halfway home, here's what made us take notice:
-
Mark Osborne picked up as many points in the 2nd round as a blogger who didn't even submit any picks... attaboy Ozzie;
-
The other experts are holding onto some of their credibility as they remain in the hunt... watch out for Strach, we'd bet he plays dirty; and
-
Looky, looky at the top of the standings... seems all is right in the universe.
Here's the table (hot 2nd round picks in red and frosty ones in blue):
