Which series will be the most physical?

[Leafsfan74]

Florida series without question.

 

[vcanuck]

Zadorov and the chaos Giraffe will run wild on the preds.

 

[93gilmour93]

Tampa and Florida are going to destroy each other

 

[Borsig]

FLA NYI would have been brutal.

I guess FLA / TBL

 

[The Tourist]

Tampa-Florida

Any series with Florida will be physical. They have the ability to drag any team into a dog fight with lots of scrums after the whistle.

I expect Dallas-Vegas, Boston-Toronto, and Vancouver-Nashville to get ugly at times.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

1. Tampa vs Florida
2. Toronto vs Boston
3. Vegas vs Dallas

 

[Golden_Jet]

Florida TB in east
Vegas Dallas in west

 

[Three On Zero]

Florida / Tampa for physicality

Edmonton / LA for chicken shit cheap shots. I can see a suspension in this series

 

[crump]

NYR /Capitals. I have a feeling it’ll be a Wilson/Rempe war.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Dallas-Vegas is going to be a bloodbath.

 

[RangerBlues]

Caps will try against the Rangers cause they dont have the
Toronto and Boston could be an exhibition of violence.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

People are sleeping on Vancouver vs Nashville.

I disagree, we're just fluff'in our pillows

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Just because controversy from big hits happens every year and we always get into the illegal check to the head debates, I figured I'd be a little proactive and drop this here.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Tor/bos living up to expectations so far

 

[JJ68]

These days people saying a series will get "ugly" means a couple hits and maybe some face washes and shit talk.

Nothing near to what it once was. War and bloodbaths.

Yes, I agree. No comparison, Back then, it was war, and compared to it, it is tame but I like it today better than 80's and 90's. It ramped up more skating intensity than physical ones.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Florida - Tampa no question.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

A lot of bad blood created in Game 1 of the Jets and Avs. Expect things to get worse from here.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Not sure where other series are at but as expected this one has been heavy

Top 12 appearances by team:

NSH 3

NYI 1
EDM 1
NYR 1
TOR 1
VAN 1
WPG 1
WSH 1

LAK, COL, DAL, CAR, BOS, TBL, FLA all 0.


My clear choice was Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks for this. 383 hits for Lauzon? Over 100 clear of anyone else. And J.T. Miller for example also hits a ton even if he doesn't make this list.

Good teams have less hits since they have the puck all the time.

My vote to FLA-TBL
