I'm glad you made a new thread for the playoffs. Keeps me from having to follow the main playoff threads in the stanley cup forum, which can be so chaotic.

Whether VGK ends up getting national NBC main channel playoff games will be really telling. As we know, main NBC avoids the Pacific Division like the plague, but VGK are the darlings of the league, arguably the North American Sports World. If VGK goes two rounds,, but no main channel NBC games, that will tell you that even with their "story," NBC doesn't give a damn.

Of course, the first weekend is out because Timberlake has concerts on Sat and Sun in Vegas, so they will start Wed/Fri. Sharks I think will end up Thurs / Sat as a result, but we'll see today.

Nah, it'll be all Capitals vs. whoever, Bruins vs. whoever and Flyers vs. Penguins because NBC loves the east teams. Maybe Minnesota... nah.

Florida has 2 more wins than Philadelphia yet they miss the playoffs. They also have more Regulation Over Time Wins than 6 play off teams...

Just imagine if they had Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith...

So what series from the East is everyone looking forward to. I wasn't a fan of the Flyers/Penguins grudge match the last time so I'm not really into that one. I think that Columbus/Washington series could be interesting, and probably the biggest series would be Boston/Toronto.

I hope this is a better first round than what people are expecting. I hope Colorado takes at least two games from Nashville and Minnesota and Winnipeg is exciting at least. Also, I won't shed a tear if Vegas beats LA.

So, who are we rooting for, VGK or LA?

I'm rooting for Vegas.

Do you really have to ask? ANYBODY but LA!

I'm rooting for Vegas.

Don't have to root for Vegas, the Refs are just gonna giftwrap them powerplays while ignoring all of their infractions like they did in the regular season.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

So, who are we rooting for, VGK or LA?

Definitely LA. I hate Vegas so f***ing much and I am sooooo sick of hearing about their "wonderful inaugural season".

Plus, we have done better against LA this season and I would rather play them in the 2nd round than the Golden Knights. I f***ing hate Vegas so much I can't even tell you.

Brian Elliott still sucks.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Quite an atmosphere in Winnipeg. Top Gun theme with the go jets go chant. Kinda makes me want to visit that arena one day.

2-0 Pens

Boston/Toronto should be pretty good. I’m obviously rooting for a Leafs/Sharks final.

Oh the storylines. Patrick Marleau playing for the cup against his former team, most of the Sharks players are from that area, and of course just because it's the Leafs it's a major draw anyway. Could be a fun, albeit unrealistic series.

RIP in peace Brian Elliott's career.

f***in pens getting a gift first round again

Well, I'm glad this Jets/Wild Game is not out of hand yet. No team has really looked dominant so far.

Pretty even, Jets maybe having a little better of the play so far. Rooting for the Wild though, I don't like the Jets at all.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The Flyers have all of the momentum right now, but no goals.

Edit: And... they took a penalty. Nice dive, Letang.

That it goes 7 and both teams hit the living shit out of one another.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Mrazek time?

Edit: Nope.
