Flames vs. Jets looks like the most balanced on paper to me. Will miss the Winnipeg fans though. They are a treat to watch.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Leafs/Jackets, Rangers/Canes and Jets/Flames should all be good close series.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Rangers vs Hurricanes

 

[Mobiandi]

Rangers-Canes will be pond hockey

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The one my team is playing in.

 

[Go Wings]

Jets vs Flames will probably be the most physical, entertaining and close series.

 

[HarryLime]

Rangers-Hurricanes

 

[jetsforever]

I shudder for the TV ratings of Nashville - Arizona

 

[um]

Leafs vs. Jackets are two polar opposites going at it, so that could be fun.

I only make a guarantee for Laf.

I only make a guarantee for Laf.

I'll take it and hold you to it.

Haha was about to post this. Well played. That said, I think McJesus and Dr. Drai running wild in their series is too good to pass up.

I shudder for the TV ratings of Nashville - Arizona

I too worry about how many viewers a major television network will get for an event. Poor, poor NBC.

 

[Ignite111]

Looks like most of the votes coming from the fans of their own teams haha. Will certainly skew the results. Outside of the islanders the rangers and leafs series will be fun ones for sure.

I want to see what McDavid can do in the playoffs. I hope he succeeds, and I think he will.

Edmonton vs Chicago

Not only is this matchup full of talent, its also a "old vs new" feel. The Hawks are the remnant of a dynasty, and the Oilers' stars are emerging young guns.

Plus, even the losing team remains interestng because of the draft lotto. Can you imagine Laf being an Oiler or Hawk?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Outside of my own team’s , I would have to say Leafs v Blue Jackets. Two opposites squaring off, I could see a short series either way.

 

[biturbo19]

Obviously biased, but i'm kinda excited for Canucks in "playoff-ish" hockey again, more than anything. That is pertinent to my interests.


The Oilers vs Blackhawks matchup could be fascinating and have some great hockey with crazy swings though.

 

[BlueBaron]

Outside of my own club the ones that catch my eye are:

Calgary vs Winni- two good teams, western rivals, both could go far

Chicago vs Edmonton- on the surface you'd think the Oil would skate circles around them but the old guys will be motivated to shut the young upstarts down.

Montreal vs Pittsburgh- My favorite player slapping around one of our biggest rivals, what's not to like?
