Tampa Bay vs. Florida - obviously rooting for Tampa Bay in this one. Should be a tough series. The Bolts endured Toronto's high-octane offense in the first round, albeit just barely, and really seemed to put it together in game 7 with a tight-checking game. However, Florida has better depth than Toronto; on the other hand, they looked beatable against Washington in the first round. Bobrovsky is a little unpredictable for me. He played well enough to win a series in the first round against the Capitals, but can he stand the test against the Bolts? We shall see. Should be a fun one. The nature of Brayden Point's injury will also be a big variable. I don't know what's going on with this one yet.

Carolina vs. NY Rangers - going for Carolina in this one. I've been adopted by the Canes board for the rest of the playoffs, but would be going for them anyway (rt is disappoint). I don't quite know what to make of the Rangers, or Shesterkin, even. Carolina has a solid lineup top to bottom. Raanta, as we all know, is quite good when he's actually healthy. The Hurricanes should come out of this one in 5 or 6 I'd say.

Onto the west... which I barely watched any of because I'm old woman Jenkins now and go to bed and wake up early. When I did actually try to stay up to watch a western conference game, more often than not, I fell asleep during the game.

Colorado vs. St. Louis - I have to root for the Blues because my sister is a Blues fan, but I don't really see them getting past Colorado. Because of what I said about the west, I can't really say why other than the obvious.

Calgary vs. Edmonton - f*** Mike Smith. That is all.

Tampa Bay vs. Florida

Before the postseason I would have said Florida all the way, but after watching the first rd I'm not so sure. Florida looks vulnerable while Tampa continues to demonstrate that they just know how to win when it counts. Should be a fun series.

For the other series I'm going Carolina, St Louis, and where's Canada?

Canada is in her bed. She’s my neighbor’s chocolate miniature poodle

Go Blues. Go Rangers.

 

[RABBIT]

Panthers, Rangers, AVS, Flames

I always enjoy watching Toronto and Edmonton lose. Almost as much as I enjoy the Jets not make the playoffs.

Shadenfreud Paradise!

I was just going to mention that the Duke hasn't done much in the playoffs.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Nurse was suspended for a head butt.

 

[PainForShane]

Absolutely sick assist by Kucherov



Also note that Chiarot doesn't skate well enough to get into position after Kuch dekes past Ekblad... not a great look. Let's see how this pattern continues (usually Kuch attacks from the other side though, he's a RW)

 

[MIGs Dog]

I say Interference on the 3rd TB goal. These refs suck. Totally blew the earlier interference call. Missed the head butt. Missed the puck out of play. Ugh.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Tampa came to play. Kucherov is a stud., but you already knew that.

Annti Raanta doing remarkable things..... like not getting hurt.

I wonder if Carolina fans are as nervous about that as they should be.

Doesn't seem like it.....

Crappy D in front of him.....

Calgary came out popping the Oilers in the mouth and haven't let up.

Damn I didn't know Mike Stone was still in the league.

And damnx2 I didn't realize it was 12 years ago he came in to the league with us. Yikes time certainly does fly.

Good to see him moving more fluid on that knee. He was awkward for some time after the surgery.

Shit, it didn’t look good as new on that last Oiler goal (#3), but still much, much improved.
Edit: he wouldn’t have been able to prevent that goal, even before the surgery, it just showed it wasn’t as good as new.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Now Mike Smith doing that coyote thing.

And now the whole game doing that coyote thing. 6-5 at the 2nd intermission? Who is this the Yotes and Senators or something?

Holy nut balls….. battle of Alberta is off the chain.
