33 total voters. Here's the final tally prior to tonight's (4/22) games:

Place	Caps	Bruins	Pens	Isles	Rags
1st	13	8	6	6	0
2nd	5	12	9	7	0
3rd	10	6	7	10	0
4th	5	5	11	10	2
Avg*	2.21	2.42	2.70	2.73	4.94

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

*assumes 5th place if the team wasn't in top 4

Caps/Bruins/Isles/Pens was the most popular pick (6 people picked that - Gurglesons, Ryder71, Bingo71, vodeni, Big McLargehuge, Al Smith)

There are 7 unique combinations (excluding the Rags) that weren't picked. Good luck everyone, but I think we all know the actual result is going to be one of those 7 we didn't pick... or it'll end up including the Rags

If I knew you were the mathematician on the board I would have went with your pick. Damnit.

Rangers pretty much have to win out now to pass Boston. Bad loss tonight

If things hold up Rangers gain on Bruins

Not enough that it'll matter. Remember Boston still has 2 games in hand on them.

 

[Ryder71]

Glad the Sabres held on.

Agreed, let's hope the Pens have a big weekend and garner a bit of separation from the B's.

My prediction was Pens, Bruins, Caps, Islanders. Now I am just praying Boston wins one more game so we don't play them 1st round. I really thought they would take that 2 spot and now I am a little scared they could be the 4. Definitely will be watching tommorow nervously.

Do we actually still have a shot? I had the same as you but can Boston actually pass Caps? I thought they can't at this point. Even if they win both games they lose the tiebreaker.

only one person has a chance according to what I’m seeing : Factorial...he’s the only one who picked Pens and then Caps as one and two...the others who picked Pens first had the Bruins second I believe and the Caps are locked in second, so congrats to Factorial!

Yeah that's my bad. Didn't account for Caps being locked into 2nd. Was just scanning for Pens top spot picks.

Rekt us.

Oh well, at least I proved my Pens faith.

As per poll rules, with @Factorial being crowned the winner, all his opinions are all correct now until the Cup is awarded.
Thank you. And nice job, Fact

Yes we got that right. We both just had more faith in Boston then the Caps. Both of those teams have flaws but I felt the Bruins had the better team. I still do. Bruins have an amazing record against the Caps this year. I think the Bruins are 4-1-2 so far. So I am not so sure they would rather play us than a severally beat up Caps team.

Caps are toast if they draw Boston here. Book it. Not sure it reaches 6 games.
