Choose your playoff opponent

[fedfed]

Who'd you rather face in the first round of the playoffs?

For the sake of parity, let's assume the Caps won't have home ice advantage regardless of who they face.

(I know there's still a rather small chance of facing TBL/MTL)

For the first time ever, I want the Pens. That team has been a mess for months now and MAF gonna MAF.

 

[Blades of Steel]

I want to drink the blood of the Pens

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Pittsburgh or Montreal. I don't want to see Tampa or NYR until they've been beat up for a few games.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I want Pittsburgh first round, Montreal second round, Tampa in the ECF (no idea if that's possible). I want some demons excised and I want them all excised now.

Not Possible, if we play Pitt first round only way we can play an Atlantic team is in the ECF

 

[Midnight Judges]

It's not because I think the Pens are weak. It's because I want the Caps to curb stomp them.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Any team, as long as they're in.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I don't really care which team we match up the worst against, I just want the most exciting series possible. And that would mean Pittsburgh.

4 matchups against the Rags in the Ovechkin era has made me not want to see them in the playoffs ever again. I'm just tired of them.

 

[RandyHolt]

Hint

Pitt.

Yes that is S1d

 

[Brian23]

Games against the Rangers are just boring. I'm fine playing them, I know it'll be close, but I feel like they're just bad for my health.

I want Pit, not just because I think it'll be an enjoyable series, but because I always want to beat our rivals on the biggest stage.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Yes that is S1d

Sid has bigger lips, but yeah I can see it.

Wii Mario Kart FTW

 

[CapsATB]

This fits in here nicely.



My vote goes for anyone.

As a fan of hockey, I'd like to guarantee a matchup with Pittsburgh, though.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

If not the Pens, I'd love to face the Habs.

 

[Bananas]

Add "anyone"...

 

[Hivemind]

The Not Rangers.

 

[sycamore]

The Not Rangers.

And not Tampa. We're cursed against them in the Playoffs.

 

[ChibiPooky]

I wouldn't mind seeing it shake out like this:

NYR - NYI
MTL - BOS
WSH - PIT
TBL - OTT

ANA - LAK
STL - CHI
other teams

(if it can)

 

[Corby78]

I voted NYI, don't want the rags, and something in the back of my mind keeps telling me fleury will stand on his head and win a series this year.

 

[sycamore]

Looks the like the Penguins will be the most likely opponent. They have 5 games left (while the Islanders have only four), they have a gimme game against Buffalo, and the one game they play vs the Islanders is at home. I see them keeping pace with the Caps and the Islanders fading.

 

[hockeykicker]

start chanting this in games, we want pitt, we want pitt haha

 

[marcel snapshot]

I've done this before - I wanted Montreal in 2009-10 and wanted Tampa Bay in the 2nd round of 2010-11. And I didn't want Boston in the 1st round of 2011-12.

I'm not doing this anymore.

well who do you not want?

 

[marcel snapshot]

I see what you're doing there - so my answer is I don't want any of the other 7 teams that make the playoffs from the East.

Finals are now guaranteed
