The 6 and 7 of you must be pointing and laughing at the 47 and 46 of us right now. The series' aren't over yet, but it's crazy to see how large the difference in choices were.

Well half of me is laughing at the 46 of you as I chose the Flyers while the other half of me is getting laughed at for choosing the Nucks so I guess thats a wash there.

In a different playoff challenge thread I did pick both the Kings and the Flyers though.
