Call the 2018 Conference Finals

[Martinez]

bolts vs pens
Preds vs oilers
Bolts over preds

 

[stymie]

TOR vs MTL
EDM vs CGY

 

[MBTendy]

The Stars are too reliant on Seguin to go deep in the playoffs.

You're right. It's not like we have any other stars like Benn, Spezza, Radulov, Hanzal up front.

Is Hanzal really a star?

Eastern Conference:

Pittsburgh vs Tampa

Western Conference:

Edmonton vs St. Louis

Edmonton wins cup.

I think a lot of teams rely on their #1C in the playoffs.

Yep, and the Stars center has a pretty impressive history of disappearing in the playoffs.

Not true at all, but keep going... this is entertaining.

 

[Territory]

Leafs Pens ECF would be amazing!

Toronto MTL 1st or 2nd round would be legendary too.

 

[OilCanada92]

Not true at all, but keep going... this is entertaining.

Not true? 7 goals in 43 playoff games. Even if you take away the Bruins cup win when he was a 13th forward and getting almost no ice time, he has 4 goals in his last 36 playoff games.

I'd love to hear the counter argument that says a 35+ goal scorer in the regular season producing at a 9 goal pace in the playoffs over 4 post season appearances isn't a disappointment.

I am SHOCKED at the love for the stars. No way they get by predators blues wild hawks even the jets , ducks oilers flames and one of coyotes sharks.

I almost named every team in the west. I can only say for sure that there are four or five worse teams in the west then Dallas.

Lindy ruff was not the problem they had success under lindy.

Hitchcock won't be some messiah and that defense needs help as does the depth at forward, especially centre after losing Eakin and nisch...

Ben bishop could be the goalie they need but the jury is out. For sure they could have a good year but to pencil them in as a final two west team??? Let's see if they get back to the playoffs first.



Anyways Ducks and blues I'll say.

East, lets go pens and Tampa bay

 

[firstemperor]

Leaving the Leafs out due to biases:

Pens-Tampa would be my favorites in the East

I want to say the Blues in the West but they just lack C depth.

Oilers/Preds in the West

St. Louis doesent really lack depth at center especially after the reaves trade getting a first rounder and the penguins best forward prospect in Kim Klostin.

Stastny
STeen
SObotoka
BRodziak/Klostin


Also not sure if Fabbri or Schwartz can play centre, if not both and isn't berglund there too....that looks fine to me.

 

[SotasicA]

Nobody was even close.

Basing too much off of previous year's success. And I think we'll see it again next summer.

I predict Preds Ducks and Bolts Jackets for next year. Ik it’s very premature tho.
