Our predictions, including those of Keith, a coin, will be out later this week. For now, please put your eyeballs on the picks of ten (10) ESPN professional thinkers, all of whom think the Caps will beat the Toronto Maple Leafs — almost all in 5 games or fewer.

Thank you, Buccigross and Cohn, for at least making it sporting.
Our real analysis is coming soon, but this is not going to be a cakewalk. Toronto is a fast, dangerous team. In a full-on track meet, they’d win.
(Now who on earth thinks the Sens will beat the Bruins?!)
