After seeing the baseball opening day thread on here.. I figured I'd start this one and see if it can gain any traction.
Who all do you think is going to the playoffs and who will be taking it all?
If there's a good site for it as I haven't looked in to it we could even get a WSO NHL Playoff bracket going too!
For me...
West
Central
1 St. Louis
2 Chicago
3 Colorado
Pacific
1 San Jose
2 Anaheim
3 LA
Wild Card
1 Minnesota
2 Phoenix
East
Atlantic
1 Boston
2 Tampa Bay
3 Montreal
Metro
1 Pittsburgh
2 NYR
3 Philadelphia
Wild Card
1 Detroit
2 Washington
The East can have a lot of positions shaken up these last few games.
I really wish that the Wings could pull off a good cup run, but I don't think they will even make it past the first round. Too many injuries have plagued the team and even as well as the young guys have done this season, the lack of playoff experience will really show.
I haven't really been able to watch as much or pay attention as much as I usually do throughout the season, but as of now if I had to, I would put my money on Boston taking it. I'll be able to watch them tonight though when they face the Wings which will either solidify that thought or have me cast doubts.
New playoff system is stupid.
Boston is looking real strong right now and they have been on a tear since the Olympics. St Louis should have a good shot as well especially with Ryan Miller backstopping them. Can't count out the hawks, if they can get fully healthy they are fully capable of back to back. I figure the sharks will get bounced early and disappoint as usual. Hoping for a team run for the Rangers
Haha, the fucking Sharks.
yup...
Couldn't agree more. Hockey is hockey. They don't need to try and be set up like other professional sports leagues. The way it was wasn't broken. Far from it. Bettmen NEEDS to go.
It'd be nice if the Rangers could make a decent run. Especially if it gets to Rangers vs Wings then I won't have to worry about missing any games!
I confess that I don't pay much attention to NHL for much the same reason as I don't pay attention to the NBA: Season is too long, the regular season really doesn't matter all that much, and the strikes/lock-outs are lame.
I would like to enjoy hockey, but here in Atlanta we chased away our team.
If the Penguins can pull things together, they could be a contender for the Cup..if they could get past Boston. Out of the West I think one of the Cali teams will be in the Stanley Cup, all 3 look very sharp.
Hard to judge the Pens. They haven't had any pressure or to play for anything in months. Wondering if they can just hit a switch and get it going in the playoffs
I think it'll be Boston vs. Anaheim for the cup. By nature of beer league team being the Mighty Drunks... I should want Anaheim to take it all, but I think Boston would still best them.
Mighty Drunks at the Ice House?
Really want the blues to pull it off this year, but they will most likely be upset by a team from CA again.
A) rangers will bounce philly tonight and then bounce pitt the series after b) fuck st. louis, blowing a 2 game lead and messing up my 8 series accumulator.......
ECF is set..NYR VS MON
Rangers have no luck on the Bell Centre. Hope that changes this round
was at game 7 last night. kill me. Am I biased in thinking that the refs royally ruined that game calling WAY too many penalties??
Sure, the Bruins came out flat and hit the post AGAIN (I think must have been a record # of posts), but the officiating was truly horrible. What happened to letting them play in Game 7?
officiating didn't help but i also would like to know which children from the deaf and blind school they dressed up as krejci and marchand? chara also looked awful.
the west coast games are looking way more competitive, i hope anaheim or new york win
Every time I watch the west coast games I think to myself "man, these teams look a lot better than us"
I am thinking Montreal and LA. Chicago and LA will be a great series tho! I would be ok if that series went 7
looch should be kicked out of the league for his actions during the handshake
He's a scum bag
