1:45 and onwards is our new goal song.

Anyways, it does look like #trolloffs2014 is catching on, and it should continue. We have to face Boston, and while they do have a great team, I think our D, goaltending and bottom 6 is enough to carry us to the next round.

I'll just post my lineup for you to enjoy. Youth FTW

Flash (AAAAAAHHHH, SAVIOUR OF THE UNIVERSE) - Huberdeau - Versteeg
Upshall - Bjugstad - Palmieri
Kopecky - Goc - Bertuzzi
Bergenheim - Matthias - Parros

Kulikov - Gudbranson
Voynov - Hjalmarsson
Campbell - Jovanovski

Markstrom

That's how we roll in the Shire.

Bring it on, Red Wings! I hope dHabs doesn't get the 'popular' vote

It should a great series, best of luck to Detroit, and everyone else who advanced.

Congrats to all who made it into the playoffs as well. I think every GM did a great job, and almost every team is a better version of it's real-life counter part.

Dallas is a good team, but the Team that will be facing them is much better .
This team is as stacked as can be, getting top Free agents Shane Doan and Ryan Whitney really will help our chances at beating the Stars. Their first line may be stacked, but check out ALL of my lines, than shoot your eyes down to my defense. That defense is arguably the best in the league. Then you have All-Star goalie Roberto Loungo.
Good luck Dallas!
Thanks for playing this game everybody, it's been really fun for me, and i'm pretty sure everybody else will agree with me.

Ah bummer, good luck to the rest of the teams. I thought i built a team nobody could beat.

I'm honestly shocked you did not make it...you have a great offense, great depth, great D, and a top goalie. Gabby built a great team, but I thought you would guaranteed make cup final

I just don't understand how people didn't vote me to win. Epically you Top6spaling.. My team was probably one of the best builds in the game. Don't know what happened honestly, would have been the farthest I've ever gone

The other three votes were easy, but I labored over that one for a long time. If that was a real series, it'd go 7 games, no doubt. Very tough choice. If you had a better #2C or Goalie, you would have one.

Just so, so close.

Remier beats Loungo?
Bachman beats Montoya?
Bolland is probably the most underrated center in the legaue

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

Remier beats Loungo?

No. I thought your goalies were better than his, D was about even, and i liked his forward corps better. I'm just saying if you had someone better than Lu, it might have pushed you over the top.

Very tough decision. You built a great team.

Just sad everybody I asked said I had a MASSIVE shot at the cup, again was what people said.

Anyways
Go

Very happy to have gotten past a difficult Detroit team. Now facing a Cinderella-squad in the Florida Panthers!

I love the fact that Florida made it so far, but I don't see how they could beat the Flyers. They have a superb defense, and a solid offense, with a promising young goalie. But we also have a great defense, have a more proven tandem in net, and have, in my opinion, one of the deepest, and most talented forward groups in the NHL.

Best of luck to the cats, as well as Winnipeg and Dallas. Honored to finish in the top 4, it's the highest I've ever finished in a game.

My trolling destiny awaits me. We are stunned we have come this far, and to beat two great teams is absolutely incredible. The Flyers do have a good team, but, I do think that I have the advantage on D, and goaltending can be very even, since I am going to assume Markstrom has carried us this far into the playoffs.

Vote for whomever you think will win, but remember...
