PredLines would like to challenge you to see if you can beat our writers in the Stanley Cup Playoff Bracket Challenge!

The Nashville Predators are going to the Playoffs again.  This season we would like to do something a little special. We would like to announce that we will be holding a Stanley Cup Playoff Bracket Challenge on NHL.com!

The best news is that we have a nice prize for the winner.  The Nashville Predators have been nice enough to supply Two Predators Tickets to a game next season for the winner!  It will have to be next year because the contest won’t end before the end of the playoffs!

You can also compete for bragging rights against the PredLines Staff and your friends and co-workers. It will certainly help to have some hockey knowledge but just like the NCAA Bracket pools someone can usually win something like this by picking the colors of the uniforms they like. It is very easy to play, the rules are below and at the site.
