Well, we’re half way there and down to the final four.

We’re down to the final two teams in the last (meaningful) NHL match-up until October (not counting the World Cup of Hockey). How’d it go in the Conference Finals? 1-for-2. That brings this year’s total to 8-for-14 (after going 3-for-8 in the first round and 4-for-4 in the second round). We’re guaranteed an over .500 finish. Yay […]

In addition to dozens of goals, handfuls of overtimes and players being pelted by light-up bracelets, we also saw a lot of great masks through the first eight series. • More: The 2016 Bucket Bracket Showdown (Round 1) We even saw some unexpected masks, like Michal Neuvirth and Petr Mrazek, […]
