Wow, my playoff picks were better than the paper bag!

Paper bag picks:
New York Rangers in seven
Anaheim Ducks in six
San Jose Sharks in five
Ottawa Senators in five
My picks:

Buffalo
Anaheim
Detroit
New Jersey

Actual results:

Buffalo
Anaheim
Detroit
Ottawa

Okay...my picks for this round are Ottawa and Detroit. Ottawa is on fire and Anaheim has had too much time off. I am actually rooting for Buffalo and Anaheim, but I now think it will be a Detroit/Ottawa final. So there!

Who can pick playoff winners better...me or a paper bag?

After my outstanding results in Caps Chick's playoff pool, I wondered if picks chosen randomly would fare better than my own well researched and thought out picks. So earlier in the week, I put some teams in a hat and here are the results:

New York Rangers in seven
Anaheim Ducks in six
San Jose Sharks in five
Ottawa Senators in five


(I decided that since I was going random, I would put pieces of paper numbered 4 through 7 and pick the number of games it would take for the win.)

My actual picks (sans number of games, because that is too complex for me):

Buffalo
Anaheim
Detroit
New Jersey


I have a feeling that paper bag is going to fare a lot better than my personal picks.
