Around the NHL - (Playoffs Edition)

I'm predicting it will be Edmonton-Florida in the finals. The healthier one wins it.

 

[Dryish]

I have Vegas vs Toronto in the finals. Much to my chagrin.

 

[tomd]

I'm the optimistic masochist...I'll be rooting for LA over the Oilers in order to maximize the Edmonton 1st round pick. Then watch helplessly as Madden selects a career AHLer with the pick.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about WPG. I think they’re going to be the surprise ones this year.

I think they beat the Avs handily, but won't make it past either Dallas or Vegas. Just not enough there to beat the higher octane offenses.

Colorado scored the most goals in the league this season.

 

[Dryish]

Colorado scored the most goals in the league this season.

Yeah, but their depth isn't there, and Rantanen is still hurt afaik. Or at least rehabbing an injury. I don't think MacKinnon alone is going to be enough. Plus, Winnipeg beat them every time this season. The Avs just don't match up well for whatever reason.

I have

Oilers and bruins in cup finals

I haven’t heard anyone talk about WPG. I think they’re going to be the surprise ones this year.

I think I have them going to semis vs oilers in my bracket…. I think that side is going to soften each other up for oilers to run through.

I think the oilers got the easiest route to the finals

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

The Islanders look a lot better than I thought they would. I had Carolina in 5, maybe they can make it a series

 

[dracom]

I can't believe how good Freddy still is.

 

[gunnergunther]

The diving by Carolina getting continually rewarded. Generating a predators like hate towards them.

 

[Leonardo87]

I think Carolina got lucky there, They didn’t play a very good game.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Time for me to start pulling for my second favorite team….whoever is playing the leafs. Go B’s!

 

[Arthuros]

Something has gone wrong in the cosmos if Shattenkirk is in a playoff game.

 

[duckaroosky]

I can't stand the leafs fandom as a whole but I do have a lot of friends who are leafs fans and they're not so bad so I'm torn.

The tie breaker is Shattenkirk, f*** that guy!!!!

 

[Arthuros]

Good forecheck and pinch by Lindholm to get the 2-0 goal.

I actually used to work with a guy who lived in the burbs of the GTA. He’s a huge leaf fan and a great guy. But for the most part I agree the fandom as a whole annoy me to no end. As well as all their media people. F the leafs.

 

[Arthuros]

I had a feeling whoever scored the first goal in the Bruins-Leafs series would win it...

3-0 Bruins ain't great!

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Now we’ll never get debrusk

 

[Leonardo87]

Now we’ll never get debrusk

Would love DeBrusk. But can he play RW?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Would love DeBrusk. But can he play RW?

I didn’t care the last 2 years and I don’t care now…. The guy is a menace in big games lol

 

[Rybread86]

Leafs are in trouble if this is all they can muster. Better bounce back game 2 otherwise this is going to be quick

 

[Arthuros]

You can set your clock to the Leafs f***ing up every year.

 

[ScarTroy]

You can set your clock to the Leafs f***ing up every year.

It’s how we know summer is approaching

 

[Deuce22]

I can't believe how good Freddy still is.

Said it at the time, still think it. Murray traded the wrong goalie.
