First, an apology on my part. I've been behind on a lot of things the past few weeks, including this. That's on me.

Before we get to the results of the Playoff Prediction Contest, I wanted to highlight a few trends and interesting things about the contest. Here are some numbers to ponder before we reveal our winner.

166 - The number of people who entered the contest
83 - The maximum number of points available in the contest
109 - The number of people who picked the Wings to win the Stanley Cup
4 - The number of people who correctly picked Boston winning the Stanley Cup in 7 games
1 - The number of people who correctly picked David Krejci as the leading point-getter in the playoffs


All in all, it was a successful contest. But none of you care about that, do you?

Follow the jump for our winner and full results.

Without further ado, let's get to the scoreboard.

A huge congratulations to What Would Dan Cleary Do on their victory, as they have been crowned Grand Champion of the first-ever WIIM Playoff Prediction Contest.

For those that don't recall, we encouraged all of you to look into your hearts and help Patrick Eaves in his quest to provide services to the ASPCA. Many of you stepped up to the plate, and as promised, the person who finished the highest while also donating money was entitled to a little extra swag. Put your virtual hands together and congratulate good friend of the blog marlonbrando, who finished 1st among the donaters and 6th overall.

We'll be in contact with the winners to discuss their prizes. On behalf of myself, Casey, J.J. and Jeff, thanks to all of you for participating, and we hope you had fun.
