As I promised, so no one will think I'm cheating, my picks for the Conference
Tournaments. The number of entries right now is in the 40's, but I don't have
an exact count (they've come in pretty fast). Pretty good on such short notice!

I probably won't get around to tabulating the entrants until late Wednesday or
Thursday. At that time, I will give an idea of how the picks in the first
round games went and be able to give "odds" on the quarterfinals in the ECAC
and HE and the first round matchups in the CCHA and WCHA. Regular season
standings for the contest will be out sometime tomorrow or Thursday.
