Don't recall exactly off the top of my head, but as I recall, there were 
plenty who didn't predict at least 38.  Back to your point, though, if the 
C's win both games, no one wins, which I think is appropriate, since I don'
t think anyone really knew they'd be this good -- would love to hear the 
reasons for those who predicted over 45 games or so this year, really.  
Plus, the C's would win both games.  Minny will be tough, since they are 
playing better recently and will be at home, but you can't count these 
guys out.  Even being down in the fourth, 20% of the total time, they'll 
come back.  Amazing.
