I know I’m late, I don’t care. I made this decision before I heard the score last night. Let’s go Sutter and the Kings.
So far I’ve been 8/14 on predictions and 9/14 on teams I’m cheering for. could be worse. The only exact prediction I made was Phoenix over Chicago in 6.

Kids:
A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…
Yes, I am sad as a fan. But even more so from a business standpoint, Community is insanely popular right now. Why are they so eager to change it?
Yes yes yes,
I endorse this song,
My name is Will Ferrel and I’m sucking my own dong.
Lyrics have never been more beautiful.
I must say that I can’t really ask for these playoffs to be going any better. While I was 50% in predictions last round, three of the teams I was pulling for moved on. Philly was the shocker, losing any identity they created in the Pitsburgh series. While New Jersey is probably my least favourite team left, I wouldn’t even mind seeing them win the cup. There are really no villains left.

A cool note is that if my predictions go through this round, the Kings will have played seeds 1,2,3 and 1 and New York will have played seeds 8,7,6 and 8. Teams I’m pulling for in bold.
1.New York Rangers over 6.New Jersey Devils in 7
8.Los Angeles Kings over 3.Phoenix Coyotes in 6
Ok so to be honest, the first round went amazingly. My two least favourite teams(Vancouver and Pittsburgh) were almost swept. 5/8 of the teams I was pulling for moved on and 5/8 of my predictions came true. I even called one in terms of games (Phoenix in 6).

Now I know that I’m a day late, but it’s not like I had Nashville sweeping Phoenix or anything. Here are my second round predictions. Teams I’m pulling for are in bold.
1.New York Rangers over 7.Washington Capitals in 6
5.Philadelphia Flyers over 6. New Jersey Devils in 5
8.Los Angeles Kings over 2.St. Louis Blues in 7
4. Nashville Predators over 3.Phoenix Coyotes in 6
This weekend is the annual Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. To be honest, this is not normally the kind of thing that would attract my attention. I’m not a very big sci-fi or comic book fan. I’ve never gone in the past, even when legends like Leonard Nimoy were involved. But this year…
Last night I was watching Sports Center and this guy named Cody Ross hit two home runs (pretty impressive, eh) for the Boston Red Sox. Anyway, I noticed that he looked very similar to Mark Proksch from The Office. He plays Nate, the simplistic, possibly gay warehouse guy. He was most recently seen in last week’s episode, “Angry Andy”, where he called Ryan out on being a douche bag.
Separated at birth? You be the judge.
Do I have a case?
