If I was a betting woman, I’d probably use Robert’s picks to set some bets on the second round. He was the only one that picked the Nashville Predators to sweep the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, while many of us didn’t see Chicago not advancing to begin with.
But, none of us really saw the Minnesota Wild going out as quickly as they did in the first round, so maybe don’t trust us when it comes to the Blues in the playoffs either.
To be honest, among the 40 staff picks in the West for round 1, there were maybe three that had the winner and games right.
