Yo Eklund, send me like 20 kilos of whatever you're smoking

Eklund is the guy who runs hockeybuzz, obviously, I don't think he's the smartest guy in the room, but his picks were ridiculous. It's actually kinda scary how close I came. Three of the teams I picked didn't make it (Blues, Senators, and Devils). The three teams that made it instead are the Ducks, Canadiens, and Lightning. Kinda weird how I picked the four eastern conference home teams and actually nailed what two of the series would end up being. It was going to be Kings vs Coyotes going into the last weekend. I think I did a pretty good job at the start of the season!
