It's contest time again!

So I'm back in the city, alive and well. It's my birthday, and the NHL playoffs are starting. Coincidence? No. It's time for the third annual Waxaholic NHL Playoff Contest. Only I'm having it here on Just A Bit Offside instead. Sue me.
We've had great turnouts the past two years... I hope this year is even better.
To recap the rules... Pick the winners of each match up from round one that you see here through to picking the winner of the cherished Stanlely Cup. You also must pick the amount of games it takes each team to win each series. (Each series is best of 7)
And to break any ties... pick me a playoff mvp as well.
I've included this handy dandy bracket thingie so you can see who each team will play in the next round if they win.... so no excuses people. Use the chart.
so for example, if I were to enter, my entry would look something like this ...
Round one
Washington in 5
Philadelphia in 7
Montreal in 5
Tampa in 6
Vancouver in 6
San Jose in 4
Detroit in 6
Anaheim in 4
Round two
Washington in 5
Montreal in 7
Vancouver in 6
Anaheim in 7
Round three
Montreal in 7
Vancouver in 5
Round four
Montreal in 7
MVP - Carey Price

Have fun with it... it's been a blast the past two years, and as usual, I'll post up the prizes later on.

Good luck!
