Sebastian Maniscalco is launching We Got Company, a new monthly SiriusXM series.
NHL Network Radio’s 2018 Stanley Cup Final Predictions
It’s the 12th Edition of the World Famous, Award-Winning SiriusXM NHL Network Radio Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions and it’s time for the 2018 Stanley Cup Final…Vegas Golden Knights vs. Washington Capitals.
This is not a bracket challenge. We have submitted new picks before each round.
As a refresher, here is the point system…46 points would constitute a perfect score. Mike Lippa set the standard with 36 points back in 2016. You could look it up.
- 1 point for correctly choosing the winner of each 1st round series
- 2 points for correctly choosing the winner of each 2nd round series
- 2 points for correctly choosing the winner of each 3rd round series
- 3 points for correctly choosing the 2016 Stanley Cup winner
- 2 points for correctly choosing the 2016 Conn Smythe winner
- 1 point for correctly choosing how long a series goes, but only if one also correctly picks that series’ winning team
- 3 points for correctly choosing the 2016 Stanley Cup winner before the playoffs begin
- 3 points for correctly choosing the 2016 Conn Smythe winner before the playoffs begin
