If you participated in the first round of the 2022 CC Playoff Pick ‘Em Challenge, congratulations: you were guaranteed to not go 0-for-the first round.
We had 66 entries in the first round, and every single one of them picked the Hurricanes to top the Bruins. It’s only the second time I can remember that everyone picked the same result, and the last time it happened, the Blue Jackets swept the Lightning. There were probably more than a few clenched sphincters when David Pastrnak scored with 20 seconds left in Game 7, but disaster was averted and the Hurricanes moved on.
