Apparently I'm now having the opposite problem with schedules that I had
last week.  I could have sworn there was a Hockey East playoff series that
began on Thursday, but at last check, they're all scheduled to begin Friday
evening.  So -- the deadline for part 2 of the Pick the Tourneys contest
(the Hockey East, WCHA, and CHA part) is now Friday, March 14th, at 6:00 PM
EDT.

And again just for giggles, here are my picks:
