Can Columbus get swept in the 2nd round?

[HugoSimon]

You have to think the only thing that would make this more earth shattering is Columbus not making it to the quarter final. What do you all think, obviously for some they are cup contenders but you have to think.

Can they? Sure, but I find it unlikely. They have the look of a serious contender. They were ON FIRE coming into the playoffs and that has obviously continued.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No, you're automatically given 1 win if you sweep your opponents in the first round and they have more points than you.

It's a weird, non-existent rule.

lmao.

Jackets vs Isles should be fun. Shades of LAK vs Phoenix

 

[mikeyp24]

Its totally possible they now have to sit and wait a while until the next game so they might not be as on as they are now. Both teams give us trouble but playing them multiple times guves us time to game plan and what Torts did to get them all to buy in you see how they shut that down. We have a great road record so I dont see a sweep.

Bottom line is its only 1 series we could go just as quick as we took them out.

 

[islesjuncky]

Yeah if they lose the 1st 4 games

 

[DitchMarner]

Of course they can, but so can any other team that makes it to round two. This thread is pretty pointless.

 

[JaegerDice]

At this point it's pretty clear any team can get swept.

is it though? You think it's possible people are over reacting?

 

[BlueBaron]

With Philly Bob anything is possible but they look like their on a mission. The way this playoffs is going it's going to be a Carolina-Colorado final. I can't predict anything at this point but I am confident my Leafs won't sweep anyone.

 

[TSA0402]

Sorry if this sounds conceited but in all seriousness..

Who is going to sweep them???

They have the most balanced team and just swept the record setting Lightning... this Columbus blows b******t needs to stop.

 

[Viqsi]

It's a little daring to be once again predicting the Jackets to get swept.

 

[KCC]

Unless they don't play hard enough I don't see that happening. Hard work goes a long way so I am going to assume they can pick up at least one win in round 2 no matter what.

It's a little daring to be once again predicting the Jackets to get swept.

I encourage it at this point.

 

[Damisoph]

is it though?

obviously the answer is yes. I don't get this thread.

 

[dubey]

obviously the answer is yes. I don't get this thread.

I don't even think OP gets this thread

 

[Matty Sundin]

I try not to look past the bruins yet but I watched all the jacket games and that's team forecheck is a bit concerning to me as a possible opponent.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Yeah if they lose the 1st 4 games

But they still get a point in OT, right?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I could see an emotional letdown.

They also might have just finished with the adjustment period and could beat anyone in the East with this roster.

 

[Price is Wright]

Buffalo shocked in 93 when they swept the division leading Bruins. They were swept by the Habs the next series.

Anything can happen.

It's a little daring to be once again predicting the Jackets to get swept.

Problem is its easy to get hyped up thinking they are unstoppable.

I think its reasonable to suggest that the original judgement may of been right.

 

[Maylo]

Can we friggin enjoy our 1st win in 19 years for 20 minutes?

 

[TSA0402]

Problem is its easy to get hyped up thinking they are unstoppable.

So.. you are saying.. the Blue Jackets.. will feel like they are unstoppable??

Have you been living under a rock for the past 20 years?!?!?!

 

[Trade]

You can’t get swept if you go 16-0 and win the cup.

I may shed a tear of joy if Matt Duchene wins a Cup. A lot of likable guys on Columbus. Not including Dubinsky.
