Another year has passed, and my daughter is a year older but not any more interested in the actual game of hockey than she was last year. However, that need not stop her from having an opinion.
And for the first round her picks - which took about 30 seconds to make and involved no math - are very close to what our model came up with!
So let's see who she likes in the first round...
1. Flyers beat Capitals
2. Penguins beat Rangers
3. Panthers beat Islanders
4. Lightning beat Red Wings
5. Stars beat Wild
6. Blackhawks beat Blues
7. Kings beat Sharks
8. Ducks beat Predators
