Pre-Game Talk: 2018-19 NHL Playoffs: Potential 1st Round Matchup

[VinikToWinIt]

Pretty solid I think. Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are booked at Amalie I think.

I saw Joe Smith mentioned Wednesday offhandedly in a tweet.

That would more than likely place game 2 on Friday, correct? Looking to buy tickets now-ish in case they go up, but it's tough without knowing the dates and without being local.

My fear is that I buy game 2 tickets and they stick us with a late start and game 1 on Friday, but I doubt they would do that if the rest of the weekend is booked as well.

Yes it's Wednesday/Friday it'll be official on Sunday. I'm hoping I can get down there for at least a game.

Rangers strike first. 1-0

Our farm club is still leading after 2nd

I am so afraid of Columbus in the 1st round

Sam Rosen just mentioned the "s" word, rip.

Rangers tie the game with under 7 seconds to play.

 

[Stammertime91]

This Columbus team has some definite threats but fighting to make it to the dance and they've given up a ton of chances we would be salivating at having.

Bring them on.

 

[DFC]

I'm just not seeing what's so scary about this team. Duchene is a good player, but he doesn't turn them into a contender.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Columbus or Carolina it is.

 

[Hint1k]

Columbus or Carolina it is.

Carolina won all 3 games against Flyers this season with total score 13-6.
It looks like Canes can choose their 1st round opponent.

Really? Interesting

 

[DFC]

Can we all just take a minute to enjoy the fact that Montreal is missing the playoffs?

 

[God King Fudge]

RIP to Cbus. They're gonna get completely dumpstered.

Attempt to make a guess.

1) Pens are at home tomorrow. Rangers played tonight and gonna be tired.
Pens vs Rangers this year:
wins 3 - 0
total score 18 - 12
Pens will win

2) Carolina will play a road game tomorrow vs Philadelphia.
Canes vs Flyers stats this year
wins 3 - 0
total score 13 - 6
Canes will win

So Eastern playoff will look like this:
Tampa - Columbus
Washington - Carolina
Boston - Toronto
NY Islanders - Pittsburgh

...That's really an entertaining round.

Got a feeling the Canes aren’t gonna beat Philly 4 straight times. My guess is we play the Canes, which will be fine.

Bobrovsky made a (honest) mistake that hasn't made me laugh like that in weeks. That whole time you could just feel it coming when the Jackets swung for the fences 3 times for that ENG and failed. All said I absolutely believe they could give us a challenge but they didn't appear threatening until Panarin was on the ice.

 

[meatwad4343]

i can't see either the canes or the jackets taking us past 5 games, i'm ready to just get this started and hope hedman is ready. who's all going to game 1?

 

[Madifer]

RIP to Cbus. They're gonna get completely dumpstered.

Cbj fan coming in peace.

I think our guys have a chance. I hope to witness a great series and not a sweep. 6 games or more.

 

[Maelmoor]

I reckon both Columbus and Canes are better than the Devils team we played last year, so not expecting a walk in the park. With that said we are obviously the favourites to go through. Think winning the first game would help a lot, to take off some of the nervousity.

Hold onto your pants. It's not like it would take a miracle for us to still face the Canes.

Lol your team is trash. The only reason it wouldn't be a sweep is if the League stops in and mercy rules your asses after game 3.

Lmao damn spitting fire already and we aren't even playing them yet

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

If given the choice of Carolina or Columbus, I would take the Hurricanes every single day. Not that we shouldn't beat Columbus, but they're the most skilled team of those three that it was coming down to.
