GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1/Game 1 - Avs @ Preds - Playoffs Are Fun - 7:30PM MST

[lonelybadger]

Subban is the idle matchup for Mackinnon because it is either going to go really well for Subban, or just terrible. No middle ground.

My head says GTFO but my heart says monumental upset in round 1 of the Avs ousting Nashville. Either way I will be in the fetal position by the end of the series.

Here's what could be the most important stats for this series. Nashville was worst in the league in penalty minutes and Colorado was third in the league in opposition penalty minutes. If our powerplay clicks we could win based on that alone.

In the playoffs, referees have their own personalized puzzle boxes. It takes a precise sequence of moves to get their whistles out.

Bold Prediction: If Mackinnon scores 4 goals each game they might just have a chance.

I hate how I’ve been keeping my expectations realistic all week and now that today’s here I know I’m gonna be super pissed if we lose.

 

[lonelybadger]

This will be like the 2006 Oilers vs the Red Wings...but without Pronger.....

I only drink 2 cups of coffee every day.

But there's a reason they call it "Bubba Cup"

I actually have this mug!! Breakfast of champions!!

 

[Foppberg]

It still hasn't really hit me that we're in the playoffs...

Unfortunately, I think we're all like that (myself included)...

Germany won Silver at the Olympics. Just saying ... everything is possible.

Don’t rub it in. Playoffs will be almost impossible for me to survive without the anxiety remedy that is booze!

I can supersize with that lol. There's a reason I need to go down to San Jose & hit a dispensary before the game

Cool, MacKinnon with the Hart AND Conn Smythe, right?

I can’t do that either! I need a non-substance related anxiety suppressant! I’m infested with progeny!

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

I’m sure that to my coworkers I look like this:

Because on the inside I feel like this:

Please play better than Philly! Please play better than Philly! Please play better than Philly! Etc, etc etc!

Oh god, well hopefully the boys can just blow the preds out early to save you some stress

That doesn’t help. They’ll blow the lead and it will be worse than if they had just lost from the beginning

Time for everyone not named MacKinnon to prove the rest of the hockey world wrong.

 

[SuperJoe]

Wow it's happening, never thought I would be posting in this thread this year. MacK needs to be super MacK and not get distracted with all the attention and cheap shots he will be getting, I'm so f***ing excited

 

[Murzu]

I see that @cgf has also developed a strong like game.
