Out of Town Scoreboard 2017-18 season III: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[OmNomNom]

so next round is Vegas/Sharks huh

 

[Emperoreddy]

Why did I even pick the Kings to win this series? What an embarrassing miss.

They’ve won one playoff game since they last won the cup in 2014. They’re 1-8 in playoff games since, then two playoff misses in between. Safe to say their window shut a while ago.

Yeah why did you pick the Kings?

 

[OmNomNom]

So MAF is Nick Cage?

 

[Bleedred]

Don’t see the Sharks beating Vegas.

I think it will go 7.

I picked both teams to lose in the first round, though I said the Sharks will beat the Ducks with Thornton. They haven’t had Thornton and he might not play this series unless they get in trouble. It seems he’s ready, but they’re keeping him out until they absolutely need him.

 

[OmNomNom]

HAHAHA do you hear the "go knights go" chants? LOOOOOOOL

 

[glenwo2]

Yeah why did you pick the Kings?

Maybe @Bleedred was drunk?

I thought it was kind of curious myself, considering how that team still has players from the 2012 Stanley Cup finals on it.

I would never have picked the Kings regardless.

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah why did you pick the Kings?

A combination of their experience and them being a tough matchup for Vegas during the regular season. I know a lot of people picked Vegas, but not in a sweep.

Sharks are motoring on all cylinders and have embarrassed the Ducks so far. I have them winning the West.

Yeah, and I picked Bitcoin to be at it's current price back in 2011, Anson.

What a liar.

Jets man. That team is too deep.

 

[Bleedred]

I still think Nashville is the best in the West.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Vegas - Jets seems about right for the WCF

The Sharks are perennial choke artists. That's not gonna change. Them and the Blues are jynxed

What a liar.

Funny enough I distinctly remember Anson pumping their tires in early October when they had their show at the Vegas home opener. I only remember because how outlandish it sounded, he may have indeed predicted them to make the playoffs.

Devils Dominion probably got it right since he predicts every damn team to be competitive.

What a liar.

I had them being about 5th worst team in the league. Bottom 5, but not nearly the worst and a lot closer to 5th last than the worst.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Jets man. That team is too deep.

I think their players play too stupid at times to win later in the postseason against better competition. I think they will be one of the teams who need to lose in the playoffs before becoming a serious threat. Definitely a good team but I think they lack playoff experience.

I still think the Sharks fixed a lot of their choking problems when firing that worthless chump Todd McLellan.

I didn’t consider it a choke when they lost to Edmonton last year, as I picked them to lose to Edmonton in 6 games, which is actually exactly what happened. I wouldn’t consider it a choke if they lost to Vegas next round, as I never really considered them to be a huge playoff threat this year anyway.

 

[NjDevsRR]

My second bracket has Sharks Jackets in the Cup with the Sharks finally getting their cup. My first bracket of course has the Devils winning it all.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ugh. f*** off Tanguay

Yeah, I think this is what I've been seeing.

They are way more skilled than Minny, but I don't think they get away with playing this way against Nashville, SJ or Vegas.

 

[VoidCreature]

LA is so damn slow. Credit to Vegas for playing well defensively, but the Kings didn't look dangerous at any point in this series.

3 goals in 4 games. They're just not good enough anymore.

You could tell J.R. was NOT happy with that comment, because it came right after J.R. said he thought they'd only win 20 games. LOL He clearly thought he was full of crap.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Kings are not built to win in today’s NHL. Game is too fast for them.

 

[Oneiro]

It's probably way too early for this but if there's one guy I'd love to see in a Devils uniform, it's Drew Doughty...Even as his game falls off with age, he will be a 20+ min. a night player.

Yeah I was paranoid over the whole 'experience' factor kicking in and the Kings trolling Vegas in a rivalry series but my god Vegas just destroyed them defensively.
