Blues for me. If we can't win the West I'd like them to. They are one of my favorite teams.

 

[CraigsList]

I am actually pulling for the Wild, mainly because of Dubnyk.

They didn't decide to tank for McDavid and traded for a goalie in hopes that they can get back in the playoff race and they did. Plus, Dubnyk's success is a middle finger to Edmonton.

I do like the Blues too, whoever wins that series is the team I want to go far, as long as they don't play against us.

The Wild are just one of those rare teams that I have no feelings about, I usually either like a team or hate them but the Wild are just kind of meh

It's probably because most of the Minnesota games that occur against us are boring .

I can't really like them because they were a division rival for so long, but it was a post expansion division rival so the hate isn't there like it is with the Canucks, Oilers, Jets & Kings. It's the same with San Jose tbh. Would be the same for the Coyotes of they weren't dirty McDavid tankers.

 

[Taranis]

Well that took long, NYR 1-0

I hate that they tanked, but this is probably their last chance of staying in AZ.

It was saddening to see the tank battle during the deadline when both Buffalo and AZ were trading away players to make their team worse.

It's always disappointing. Now they are worse than the Oilers and Canucks

 

[Taranis]

Boy do I ever love round 1, Pitts vs NYR is exciting, lots of battles.

this is the beauty of the new playoff divisional format. you get no more than 2 series in the first round that aren't rivals

and as some of these newer rivalries get established the first 2 rounds will keep getting better and better

The one aspect of it that still doesn't make sense is why the system allows for double crossovers.

double crossover? There can only be one crossover per conference.


Also Wings score. 1-0 Wings

 

[DCDM]

Penguins are falling apart.

 

[Lunatik]

[Johnny GODreau]

Datysuk scored for the Redwings 1-0

Redwings gettin' a powerplay.

Bolts score a short handed goal 1-1

Bolts runnin' over goaltenders.

 

[DCDM]

Pens on the board, 2-1 Rangos.

Lord Comeau lights the lamp.

 

[Anglesmith]

double crossover? There can only be one crossover per conference.

That's how it should be, yeah. But they have it so if there is one WC team from each division and WC 1 is from the same division as the top team in the conference, then both wild cards cross over.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Welp, so much for Pavelec's shutout streak. 1-0 Ducks.

Edit: Jets answer back, 1-1.

 

[St Wardo]

Jets waste no time, 1-1 only 3 minutes in

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Go Jets! I really want to play them next round

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Go Jets! I really want to play them next round

Yeah I'd much rather play the Jets than the Ducks.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Oh god, Gene Principe's doing Jets coverage?
