How unpredictable was the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs begins on Thursday night. How’s your bracket?

(The less said about mine the better, says the guy who will not be attending a Stanley Cup parade in St. Louis this June …) 

There are a few people who did quite well in picking ye olde brackets for Round 1 – our own Darryl Dobbs went 8-0 in the first round, while others only got to six wins – but picking the series winners with the correct number of games is a whole different barrel of pickles.

How hard was it this postseason?

Welp … more than 800,000 brackets were created on NHL.com for the first round of the playoffs.

Exactly zero of them were perfect brackets.

From the NHL:

At the conclusion of the First Round of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, zero ‘perfect’ brackets – correctly picking every series winner and the number of games in each of those series – remain in the challenge. However, 17 fans – out of more than 800,000 – are tied for first atop the leaderboard after correctly predicting every First Round winner and the number of games in seven (out of eight) of those series.

Wonder which series tripped up the most people?
