2014 NHL Playoffs (Scores and discussion)

[NC107*]

We didn't make it but there will be some exciting hockey to watch for a change. I am looking forward to watching a well coached and managed team the Boston Bruins. I also think the Rangers vs Flyers will be exciting to watch.

Hopefully the Flyers beat the Rags at MSG in Game 7 12OT.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Out of the east, I have to pull for either Boston or Columbus. Don't really care about anyone else.

I'm really pulling for St. Louis or San Jose.

just a heads up in case people were wondering about the prize part, assuming you're interested in that
kind of stuff.

Group/League Play: In addition to participating in the Promotion on an individual basis, each Entrant may also participate in group or league play by either setting up his or her own group or by joining another group already established by another Entrant. Entrants within a particular group compete against one another by using the same picks made by such Entrants in individual play. The Entrant with the highest score within a particular group will be deemed to be the winner of that group. Participating in group or league play is only for bragging rights and Entrants will not be entitled to any prizes whatsoever on account of having the highest score in a particular group or league. An Entrant must have the highest score among all Entrants participating in the Promotion in order to win (prizes)…

Thanks. So I have to make an account on there? It's not letting me. God damn phone strikes again.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Can't view other peoples picks until April 16th, that's lame.

Who'd you guys pick to come out on top?

 

[Devils Trap]

Dont really mind if there isnt a prize..... Just for fun honestly

Hawks vs Bruins ..... Hawks again

 

[EnglishDevil]

Hawks vs Bruins ..... Hawks again

Haha i had virtually the same thing, i have the Hawks winning again but over the Habs (who eliminate the Bruins in 7 in round 2).

Sharks/Bruins in the Finals.

Sharks winning.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Sharks/Bruins in the Finals.

Sharks winning.

The Sharks definitely deserve a cup, i hope this is the year they finally do it; no faith in them at all though

 

[Devils Trap]

Im on the Sharks bandwagon just for Larry

 

[Status Quo*]

Yeah, I have no faith in them either just because of the past but they HAVE to break through sometime. What better time then now?

 

[EnglishDevil]

Yeah, I have no faith in them either just because of the past but they HAVE to break through sometime. What better time then now?

Even discounting the past, i feel like the new playoff system really hurts them because it forces them to get through both the Kings and the Ducks (really doubt the Stars cause the upset) just to reach the conference finals. I feel like the two SoCal teams just match up well against the Sharks, and even then i think they'd struggle against Chicago. I'd favor them against anyone in the East in the finals though.

 

[Bleedred]

The sharks can take the ducks I think. So can the kings. The stars likely cannot, so I expect the ducks to make it out of the first round. Bruce boudreau's teams are notorious for going out early. They did last year against Detroit and they did almost every year in Washington.

 

[NC107*]

here are my predictions:

Boston over Detroit in 5
Philly over Rags in 7
Montreal over Tampa in 6
Pitt over Columbus in 6

Ducks over Dallas in 5
Colorado over Minny in 6
Chicago over St. Louis in 6
Sharks over Kings in 6

It all starts Wednesday.
Go Bruins

 

[SeidoN]

when it says total series goals, does it just mean for the finals yeah?
