Maggie the Monkey is 1-6 while my Mom is 7-0 at this point, in playoff prognostication. Overall, we’ve picked the upsets correctly, (with the exception of NJ/Philly, which was split 6-7 the wrong way.) That doesn’t bode well for the Leafs tonight, thought we were somewhat split on that one too.

We’re a collective 67-24 heading into tonight, which is to say that we’re doing well - our record at the end of the first round will be either 73-31 or 74-30. Of course, depending on the outcome tonight, all of us picking the favorite would have wound up with a 78-26 or 65-39 record.
