Okay, so Round One of the NHL Playoffs are over, and so is Round One of the Great Waxaholic Playoff Contest IISo it's on to the second round for all of the participants. Round 2 is simple. Pick the winners of the playoff series all the way through to the Stanley Cup Finals and the amount of games each series will go. Easy peasy.
The matchups are
a) San Jose (1) vs Detroit (5)
b) Chicago (2) vs Vancouver (3)
c) the winner of (a) vs the winner of (b)
d) Pittsburgh (4) vs Montreal (8)
e) Boston (6) vs Philadelphia (7)
f) the winner of (d) vs the winner of (e)
g) the winner of (c) vs the winner of (f)
as a tie breaker, pick the Conn Smythe Trophy winner (MVP of the playoffs)
The prizes? Well, since last year's prize was so popular, I will award another one. A 1977/78 complete set of inserts. These were randomly inserted into packs back in '77. No need to bust wax... I've completed the set for you. 22 shiny inserts from 33 years ago.
Just in case no one is interested in vintage hockey cards (I doubt it) I have some small baseball and basketball sets to offer.
So if you entered the contest in Round One, make sure to get in on Round 2. It's your only chance to win. I may have a round one standings update tomorrow if I have time.
