What team do you hope to play against in the first round of the playoffs, and why?

Would rather have tanked for Svechnikov or Dahlin to be completely honest.

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.

I'm not sure why Pens fans care about 2012 seeing as the team has won 2 Cups since then. I'd like to see this matchup as well, only because the Flyers would be big underdogs with nothing to lose.

Wait, you're a Pens fan? I always thought you had a dislike for Sidney Crosby.

Well for the Leafs it's gonna be either Lightning or Bruins in the first rd. Really no other options barring something crazy happens.

And between them, I would easily want to face the Bruins. For various reasons.

 

[Baxterman]

For the Flames even though it is highly unlikely at this point I would say Vegas. I think a lot of the things that have worked for them in the regular season (new team/opponents partying) would be reduced in the play-offs and that over a 7 game series their defense would get exposed.

More realistically the Sharks. I think all 3 California teams are better than the Flames but out of them the Sharks are the most vulnerable.

LA or Anaheim since I'll be there so I can go to a game

You can like a player but think he is overrated. I cant stand when the Penguins official FB page post that Crosby is THE GOAT and get 100k likes, especially when ive been around and seen Lemieux. (and Gretzky)

I want a Ducks vs Jets series.

I hate Perry. And Kesler. And I'm jealous of their nice weather.

(they also have a stupid name)

Leafs are in a weird spot. We are gonna see either Boston or Tampa. And both teams are ridiculously good. I really don’t even wanna predict who I want leafs to face. Credit to those teams. Any which way. The top three in Atlantic are in for a fight and will be some great hockey.
