What series will have the most fighting? Will there be any line brawls?

[The Shovel Penguin]

I'm rooting for Columbus and Washington. It's always been the Pens and somebody but I'd like to be able to take amusement from someone else's drama for a change.

I hear ya. Let both of those douchebag teams cripple each other as far as I'm concerned.

 

[EclecticDarkness]

Lol at people saying Pittsburgh and Philly.

This Penguins team under Sullivan is a very different one then the gong show team of 2012 under Bylsma.

Sure, I expect Philly to pull some stupid ****...but hopefully we continue to keep our composure, light them up on the PP, and send them golfing early.

Crosby is still Crosby and Malkin has been increasingly showing he still can’t contol his temper. There’s a very good chance that series could turn into a powder keg, especially since historically Philly has shown they’re extremely good at agitating good teams. Gonna be fun

Easily Washington and Columbus. Tom Wilson is a dumbass goon and fears nobody - he has that in common with Columbus' entire roster.

.

Dubinski and Calvert both enjoy swinging their sticks around too

When has Philly done that this year though?
I feel like people just stopped watching hockey in '17-18 and are like "well this team always used to be this way, so nothing has changed"

"And I don't want to watch the Devils play that boring trap!"

 

[SalsaShark]

We won't see that many fights in the PHI-PITT series. I just don't see it happening. ANA-SJ is almost guaranteed to be an absolute shitshow.

 

[Rob Brown]

I can't really see Toronto engaging in much fighting. The only players on the team that could fight are Martin, Komarov and Polak, and all could be scratched at some point this series. Kadri and Backes have a history of fighting but I doubt Kadri risks spending that much time in the box in the playoffs. I could be wrong, though.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I feel like caps jackets has potential to be absolute powder keg.

Penguins/Flyers

There's 3 pens and 4 flyers left from that series. And historically Philly hasn't done anything of note since.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Reaves and Perron hate the Kings, ex Blues still bitter about few years ago.

Everyone but the Kings hates the dirty Kings.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Philly Pittsburgh...no question.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Everyone but the Kings hates the dirty Kings.

Yes, and everybody who was a hockey fan before 2017 hates the dirty Golden Boys.

 

[CupInSIX]

watch Tampa and NJ have 3 line brawls and 0 fights in the Bos-Tor Pitts-Philly series.

I imagine James Kneal and Reaves will do stupid **** to get LA pissed.

Vegas is close to the bottom of the league for majors, and Neal has been an angel this year. Who knows, that could all change.

 

[Its a Trap]

That's first line Tom Wilson to you, my friend

You mean arrived Tom Wilson?

 

[IceNeophyte]

Yes, and everybody who was a hockey fan before 2017 hates the dirty Golden Boys.

Of course you do. Our team has done what it took others years or decades to achieve.

 

[um]

As a caps fan let me warn you, don't get excited about division titles, they don't mean jack.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Voted CBJ-WSH, though I think folks have pretty much nailed down the three most likely candidates and it could be any of them.

 

[Leafs87]

I think those days are long gone but if I had to pick I’d say Pit-Phi

 

[Legionnaire11]

You're probably better off betting on "None" in this one. It's just not the style of the NHL these days.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Oh I know. I expect a tough series. Win or lose, I just hope Clifford doesn't injure anyone.

They were easy to rattle last game, caught Kings fans off guard. Don't forget Perron, Kings have a history with him too.

 

[OVO16]

Surprised people are saying Leafs/Bruins. The series has a chance to be physical but I dont expect any sort of fights or brawls. Maybe skirmishes/scrums but thats it. Leafs try to stay away from that as much as possible.

The obvious choices here are Sharks/Ducks and Pens/Flyers. Kings and Vegas is a possbility too

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Quick in particular.

It's not a matter of 'if,' it's a matter of 'when,' and if the league protects him from the team destroying him when Perron runs Quick.

Actually the Flyers aren't a very physical team either and Gudas has been neutered by the DoPS.

If anyone pulls dumb shit, it will probably be that Shrek looking motherf***er that wears 71 on the Pens.
