Ideal conference final matchups?

Love to face the Rangers. Will certainly get Callahan on the Goals scored column. lol . Should hopefully be back by the beginning of the series, and if he knows the Rangers advance will likely do everything he can to get back for Game 1.

Tampa got their revenge on Montreal, now it's time for them to get it on MSL, and Callahan to get his on the Rangers. Also expect Stralman and Boyle to go into beast mode as well.

Caps vs Bolts please

Late to the party but from a 'just want to be entertained' perspective things have worked out well in the West... Chicago vs Anaheim could/should be really good, might be able to salvage what has been IMHO a meh playoffs (and forgettable regular season).

In the East with Tampa winning tonight just need Washington to bounce the Rangers... Although I think the Rangers will end up winning.

I'd be fine with that, as long as the Bolts beat the Rangers. I want to see MSL cry in the handshake line.

Brutal.

Why do people still act like regular season has any relevance to the playoffs?

Nobody cares about the regular season series.

Ducks completely reconfigured their blue-line after the trade deadline, Hawks haven't played them since.

One of those 4-1 losses, the Ducks had a kindergarten on their blue-line.

Should be a close, tight series when it happens.

Go Hawks!

Some care about the regular season series. It's good to know so further discussion can happen. The weird stat of the 3 games of CHI-ANA is the home team lost each game.

The league would like...

New York vs. Montreal
Chicago vs. Does not matter

Those terms generate the most revenue for the league of the teams remaining. I believe that is the main reason Montreal and Chicago had scoring plays against them whistled dead and received the favor of many game management penalties.

LOL, I seem to recall that the Lightning scored the OT winner in game 1 which should have been offside.

NYR/Tampa would have tons of storyline stuff with the MSL/Callahan trade. Also the fact that Boyle (Keep him) and Stralman (Give him back!!) left the Rangers for Tampa adds to it. All assuming this match up does indeed happen...
