The playoffs get a lot easier to predict this year, as there's no re-seeding, and its divisional for the first 2 rounds. Here's a template:
Atlantic:
BOS(1) vs DET(4): AAA in #
TB(2) vs MON(3): BBB in #
AAA vs BBB: CCC in #
Metropolitan:
PIT(1) vs CLB(4): DDD in #
NYR(2) vs PHI(3): EEE in #
DDD vs EEE: FFF in #
Central:
COL(1) vs MIN(4): GGG in #
STL(2) vs CHI(3): HHH in #
GGG vs HHH: III in #
Pacific:
ANA(1) vs DAL(4): JJJ in #
SJS(2) vs LAK(3): LLL in #
JJJ vs LLL: MMM in #
Eastern Conference Finals:
CCC vs FFF: NNN in #
Western Conference Finals:
III vs MMM: OOO in #
Stanley Cup Finals:
NNN vs OOO: PPP in #
Conn Smythe: Xxxxxxxx
And for the hell of it, so we can actually brag about who's better/worse, let's say 1 point for the first round, 2 points for the second, 4 for the CF's and 8 for the Cup Finals for picking a winner, with an extra 1 point for every series length picked correctly. 5 for picking the correct Conn Smythe winner. I'll keep score and update between rounds.
Edit: Google doc spreadsheet is HERE. Currently I'm building it, but you guys can check your entry and make sure I put the right values in.
