That was a fun game.

Melagoo · 04-23-2017, 09:09 PM

Great series GUYS!!! oh well many more years ahead of us to do well! Go Caps! We put up a great fight!

And now to what everyone has been waiting for......Pens vs Caps. It's basically the Stanley Cup because whoever emerges from this has the clear road to 16 wins.

Hope the Craps do what they do best come playoff time.

Bruins got hosed last night with that stupid penalty call in OT.
If the officials let one go earlier in OT against Ottawa there should be no reason Bruins get call later on.

Poor officiating and I am not even a Bruins fan.

I fully expect them not to disappoint.

Kent Clements · 04-24-2017, 11:01 AM

Next round picks:

Sens
Caps
Blues
Oilers

k13 · 04-24-2017, 11:20 AM

Caps are going to win this time....and I'm a Pens fan.

PejaD · 04-24-2017, 11:59 PM

I foresee a Caps-Preds finals and Bettman blows a gasket.

NHL corporates probably want Rangers-Pens, Blues-Oilers and eventually Rangers-Oilers to maximize revenue.

Angus Con · 04-25-2017, 12:48 AM

My bracket had a Ducks-Caps final so I'll stick with that. But the Caps aren't going to make it if they keep playing so tight and afraid to make a mistake.

Bettman wouldn't blow a gasket, getting one of his warm weather expansion franchises to the Cup is a good thing for him.

NBC wouldn't be happy.

I'm kinda rooting for Ducks-Sens b/c NBCs ratings would be terrible and I'm a person who enjoys watching the world burn when my team is out of it.

Will update after round one.

Pretty bad round one predictions: just 5/8.

Round 2
Sens over Rangers
Pens over Caps
Ducks over Oilers
Predators over Blues

Agreed though I am rooting for the Rangers to come out of the East!

I hope Washington beats Pittsburgh this year though

I think Ovechkin really deserves to drink from Lord Stanley's Cup and would like to see him win it all (in the event of a Rangers Playoff Exit)

Ovie's A Truly Great Player

As far as the West, Nashville has alot of momentum right now though I would love to see McDavids Oilers in the finals

Though Detroits my team

playoffs have been fun to watch thus far

hairysasquatch · 04-25-2017, 11:24 AM

Imagine the ratings gold of a Sens - Preds final.

You got 4/8 in Round 1 if my calculations are correct!

Here are my Round 2 picks;

Rangers over Sens
Caps over Pens

Oilers over Ducks
Preds over Blues

I'm really looking at the Oilers getting to the finals, I think they have the talent and if they can get the needed goaltending from Talbot they just might beat the Ducks!

Think it might be a Nashville vs. Washington Stanley Cup Final this year.

ncm7772 · 04-25-2017, 03:29 PM

Caps in 6
Rangers in 6
Oilers in 6
Preds in 7

dcallow · 04-25-2017, 04:14 PM

Lol Nylander YG went from $18 -> $15 literally minutes after the Leafs loss....

I stated shaking uncontrollably last night. Then I realized I didn't have any games to watch. Ended up rewatching the WJC gold medal game from Jan

Might have to watch Slapshot tonight if they return. Wednesday can't get here soon enough.

quackhead · 04-25-2017, 10:16 PM

Senators (5 games)
Caps (7 games)
Ducks (6 games)
Blues (7 games)

Angus Con · 04-26-2017, 12:44 AM

Lots of my bias in my picks.
