OK we have finalized our data.  To follow up our predictions made yesterday, we are presenting our picks for the 2015-2016 playoffs.  These are for the first round only, and the selections are based solely on the Advanced Bracton score for each team (the higher score wins the series).

PIT over NYR (6 or 7 games)

TB over DET (5 or 6 games)

WAS over PHI (5 or 6 games)

FLA over NYI (5 or 6 games)

In the West…….

CHI over STL (6 or 7 games)

DAL over MIN (6 or 7 games)

NSH over ANA (5 or 6 games)

SJ over LA (6 or 7 games)

Well that’s it.  We can’t wait until the puck drops tonight.

Edit – the following is a list of the AB scores by team adjusted for time on ice for the regular season – these represent aggregate goals at the margin (positive and negative) .  So far the team with the higher AB score has prevailed in 11/14 playoff series played thus far.
