Definitely the Pens. We can take them. And I don't know about the next round, but I kinda want to face the Hawks in the final round because they can't seem to beat us, so there you go!
Never will go this route again. There is no one opponent I would like over another. Not one.
Every year in the past when I felt like I wanted a certain opponent ..well I've gotten what I asked for.
Same here... There is a reason they say: "Be careful what you wish for..."
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.
I chose PIT. That demon needs to be exorcised.
Yep. Terrible bad karma will come your way if you ever find yourself happy that you face one opponent or another especially when you celebrate when said team clinches victory prior to playing your team.
2011. Tampa came back and beat Pitt in 7 games!! Much rejoicing. 4 games later? Not so much.
85-86. Yes the 78pt Rags beat the hated 110 pt Flyers!!...6 games later...crap....
Same in 87-88. We struggled vs the Isles all year and pretty much had dominated the Devils since they became the Devils. Including that year. Devs beat the Isles! YES!!!!!....7 games later....I hate Schoenfeld and Burke..
Probably one of the biggest upsets ever. Jeez, good memory.
so its either caps vs isles or caps vs pens: lets break down how we get one of the two
If isles win friday, its caps vs isles in playoffs. then comes down to Saturday for home ice
If pens beat isles on friday, isles beat blue jackets and pens beat sabres on saturday, they both would have same points and same ROW but isles win next tiebreaker so again its caps vs isles. (with washington having home ice)
if isles lose both and pens win both, its caps pens (with caps home ice)
Demons everywhere.
Halak in NYI
NYR after having them dead to rights in the ECSF
Pitt for Pitt
Mon revenge for the 8-1 embarassment
I'm fine with whatever happens
Ideally I don't have to sit through another Rangers Caps series though
I've been calling it all year, its Rangers or Caps in ECF. I say Ducks or Wild in West.
hoping for Ducks/Caps finals.
I believe we play the winner of the Rangers-WC2 series if we advance so no Rags-Caps ECF if I'm not mistaken...
You're correct, I really meant out of the east not the east finals. I was wrong for saying it that way.
