Albino Squirrel: Apr 25, 2003; Miosis more like meiosis

Round 1:
Preds in 4
Jets in 6
Knights in 5
Sharks in 7

Bolts in 7
Bruins in 5
Caps in 6
Flyers in 5

Round 2:
Preds in 5
Knights in 6
Bruins in 4
Caps in 6

Round 3:
Preds in 7
Caps in 7

Final:
Preds in 6

Bonus! I asked my kids to complete brackets as well.
The four-year-old picked COL/WPG/LAK/SJ/NJ/BOS/CBJ/PHI; WPG/SJ/NJ/CBJ; SJ/CBJ; SJ. He picked 7 games for each series as it's his favourite number. Also the Sharks play in "Sannoway."
The two-year-old picked NSH/WPG/VGK/ANA/NJ/BOS/CBJ/PIT; NSH/ANA/NJ/CBJ; NSH/CBJ; CBJ. He didn't pick series lengths because he doesn't know what numbers are, really.

Score updates! Round 1 for me: 23 points. Round one for kid #1: 7 points.

Ask him how he would handle the Detroit Red Wings contract situation

I asked him; he smiled, said "yeah" and then demanded a chocolate muffin.

I think this means "hope for a lottery win."

I'm imagining the scenario where albino squirrel's 4 year old was right about the Flyers and the Avs...what an interesting world that would be

He is very chuffed that he is included in the bracket. He also stands by his picks.

I mean, given the parity in the league, very few upsets would be completely bananas...

Perfect, added to OP.

Also, I think there should be some minor toxx or punishment for anyone that loses to the 4 year old on the spreadsheet. Thoughts?

He really likes the avatars as I scroll through threads. His favourite shows are Paw Patrol, and Downton Abbey (seriously, he can't fall asleep without it, he's a weird kid). So it would be amusing if people who lost to my four-year-old had to buy an av from one of those two shows.

I'm sticking with my original picks, even though I don't think Boston is likely to sweep:

Nashville in 5
Vegas in 6
Boston in 4
Washington in 6

My four-year-old has picked, in the re-seed:

Winnipeg in 7
Vegas in 7
Boston in 7
Pittsburgh in 7

(My two-year-old elected not to pick anyone, and in keeping with his nascent Oilers fandom, poo poo his pants.)

I'll update the points when I get home from Greece (tough to get a hockey feed here...) but I predict:

Winnipeg in 6
Washington in 7

My four year old predicts:

Winnipeg in 7
Tampa Bay in 7

Is the modifier x3 or x4 for the semifinals? If it's the latter, then I'm +16, (2+3)x4 for Washington and -4 for Winnipeg.

My kid is -8 for the round

Finals predictions:

Washington in 6 from me.

Las Vegas in 5 from my son. (Lucas has figured out that there are numbers other than seven).

Edited because apparently I had actually got the number right for Wash.
