way late to the 2nd round party, so if this is a no-no, that's fine. But, in the interest of "semi-fairness", I'll go against the first-game winner, if that makes it "better".
Boston in 4 Pitt in 5 Detroit in 7 Chicago in 7

Hearing the French announcers go off after the dunk is sweet. But, I think it's equally sweet hearing the relative silence of the soccer announcers clearly caught off-guard. It's pretty much "here's Carlos, there's a shot, whatever ... oh crap - that went in!" Thanks for the link, grum.

I've seen several references throughout various FPPs to sports-related readings recommended by members here. Just thought it'd be nice to have everyone jot down their favorites and have them in one place. I can start ... "Tales From the Dugout" by Mike Shannon. Purely anecdotal, but decent. But, see, I'd love to see what everyone would recommend, particularly stuff of more substance.

NEW NHL Confidence Pool!!
YYM, you mean, like the "too many men on the ice" penalty that gave the Red Wings game 4 against CBJ? Wow - that grape was so sour, even I couldn't swallow it, sorry ... I can understand the intent of the rule - can you imagine if a batter in baseball got awarded a walk because the ump had to sneeze when he tried to call strike 3 after a full count? But in practice, it does seem pretty shady. Like the "no high-fiving" going on in another discussion in here - it seems like an awkwardly-written rule. But, since it went against the Wings ... that's a freakin' awesome rule ...
