With the first weekend of the ECACHL, CCHA, and Atlantic Hockey playoffs in
the books, here's a look at the score so far in the Pick the Tourneys
Contest #2 (in which all rounds count the same).  Also included are the
scores for the predictions by the USCHO and CHN staff (who, it should be
pointed out, don't have to pick all the games at once) and a "Higher Seed"
entry, showing what would have happened if the higher seed for each game
had been picked to win.  Thus, in the "Higher Seed" entry, all
first-round/quarterfinal series get picked as sweeps.

The overall lead in the Pick the Tourneys Contest #2 is currently shared by
Troy D. Mills, Matt Sullivan, Jim Dixon, and Mark Lewin, who each have 7
points.

Scoring reminder:  Each correct winner you pick in each round earns you one
point.  There is no bonus in a first-round/quarterfinal series for picking
the number of games that the series lasts.
