Anybody

I think it'll be fun facing Boston and seeing two of my favourite teams face off right away, especially with the memories of the 4-1 lead as a potential narrative.

 

[GodEmperor]

Boston, I hate them and would love to see the Leafs crush their overrated team.

 

[Wolf357]

I want the Jets to play Minnesota...I like the franchise...but also I want to see Manitobans invade and take over Excel

The Bruins, they’re a great team and I think it would be a very hard fought series.

If we were to win, it would be the most satisfying.

 

[bukwas]

Doesn't really matter. It's a long hard road for everyone.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Vs

 

[crackdown44]

For Calgary I would say LA just to see Tkachuk and Doughty go at eachother

 

[NoMessi]

Flyers. I want Penguins to show just how much they have evolved since 2012.

The myth that Couturier shut down Malkin (8 points in 6 games 2012) need to die, so I think that would be an awesome series.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hmm i dont care too much

Oilers... hahahah

Kings, we owe them 1

Flames, tradition to knock them out of playoffs

Sharks, because i think their fans would rather miss playoffs over losing to anaheim in round 1

 

[DKH]

Definitely want Leafs. A Bruins-Leafs series could be as good as it gets

 

[AfroThunder396]

After our game on Saturday, NJ vs TB would be an absolute blast to watch for seven games.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I feel like this thread is more fitting of a few seasons ago when the playoffs were actually cool and you could play any number of teams.

Now: cool, can’t wait to play someone in our division.

 

[The Shovel Penguin]

I'm not hoping for anyone in particular but I know it's going to inevitably be some blood boiler like Washington or Philadelphia. Yippee.

 

[treple13]

For the Flames, at this point I'll be happy to be there, but anyone but Anaheim is the right answer.

idc as long as its the caps in round two.

It's a nice idea, but I don't see Leafs beating Bruins in best of 7. Possible? Yes. But I would bet against it.

They're 2-1 v them this year, I don't think they're Tampa tier as their record might suggest.

 

[BlueBaron]

The Panthers (No offense intended). They look like the easiest choice. Not too likely to happen though.

 

[Its a Trap]

Yes, because getting the team you want to play always works out so well.

 

[rynryn]

Don't care. Just want that participation ribbon.

 

[JoVel]

Do you mean four?

For Tampa, the Panthers would probably be the easiest matchup and it very well could happen.

 

[Snippit]

I want to see Pittsburgh vs NJ and Toronto vs Tampa

Two really fun series for the first round.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Definitely Los Angeles, we've outplayed (and beat) them in 3 of the 4 meetings we've had this year, and recently embarrassed them in the playoffs. I feel confident that we would beat them in a 7 game series. On top of that, we are 2-2 against one another in playoff series and I'd like a rubber match.
