PPP Playoff Prognostication Pool Pick 'Em - Round #2

So the Conference Quarter Finals are behind us and the Conference Semis before us. But before we get to those, let's see how the PPP faithful did in Round #1.

Atop the leader with a whopping 21 out of a possible 24 points is Grabovski's better than you think who correctly guessed the outcome of every series and undershot the Boston, Tampa Bay, and San Jose series by only one game. And his Cup and Conn Smythe picks in San Jose and Joe Thornton seem pretty good thus far.

Here's the top 10 after Round #1:

And way down at the bottom of the chart? Why that would be super friend of the blog Cornelius Hardenbergh with a lowly 4 points; only correctly guessing the outcome of the Boston-Montreal and San Jose-Los Angeles series. And tied with Corny? Why that'd be Chemmy joke account ARMANDO SLAPNUTS who chose every lower seed to win. Keep it up Corny and you'll find yourself the future owner of a Leafs Suck book!
