Well that last round didn't go to plan ... Here's the results:

Boston_Bruins 0.770 0.570 0.388
Washington_Capitals 0.506 0.166 0.072
Pittsburgh_Penguins 0.494 0.161 0.070
Carolina_Hurricanes 0.230 0.103 0.040

Detroit_Red_Wings 0.678 0.358 0.164
Vancouver_Canucks 0.405 0.190 0.073
Chicago_Blackhawks 0.595 0.337 0.159
Anaheim_Ducks 0.322 0.115 0.035

The Hurricanes play spoiler to the Bruins which makes my program off there. Not too sure how many people picked the 'Canes over the Bruins, but I don't think there were many. The Caps/Pens played an incredible series to 7 games, and it was as close as I (and my program) expected. Out west though, the program did much better with both the Red Wings and Blackhawks making it through as predicted. With this round done, giving us a 7/12 record. A couple of too close to call series, and the 'Canes pulling off a pair of upsets are a quick way to explain what happened so far this year.

What's up for the next round? The teams are quite evenly matched, but there's a bit of surprise pick for the west.

Pittsburgh_Penguins 0.547 0.214
Carolina_Hurricanes 0.453 0.158

Detroit_Red_Wings 0.488 0.305
Chicago_Blackhawks 0.512 0.322

That's right, the program likes the Hawks. This was the reason I went with the hawks and bruins in my playoff pools ... but thanks to the 'Canes, I now have no shot to win those.
