thebtskink frankyt SnoBorderZero Frizzo the Clown donny NeverendingThe playoffs are almost here, and that means getting some predictions going. Will update as the final seedings are confirmed for the West division. Please forward to others you think could be interested. Canada has a 25% chance to get in the Finals! Last year, we went with a simple point system. 1 point for predicting the team that wins the series and 3 points if you get both the right team and number of games. If anyone has other suggestions for a point system, let me know. Central (Wins/Losses/Ties) 1. Carolina (36/12/8) 80 pts 4. Nashville (31/23/2) 64 pts 2. Florida (37/14/5) 79 pts 3. Tampa Bay (36/17/3) 75 pts Eastern 1. Pittsburgh (37/16/3) 77 pts 4. New York Isles (32/17/7) 71 pts 2. Washington (36/15/5) 77 pts 3. Boston (33/16/7) 73 pts North 1. Toronto (35/13/6) 76 pts 4. Montreal (24/21/11) 59 pts 2. Edmonton (35/18/2) 72 pts 3. Winnipeg (29/23/3) 61 pts Western 1. Colorado (39/13/4) 82 points 4. St. Louis (27/20/9) 63 pts 2. Vegas (40/14/2) 82 pts 3. Minnesota (35/16/5) 75 pts

Damn, the Kings missed out yet again by...several points. At least they did better than those stupid Ducks and Sharks.

Was going to let you now of the shift in seeding. That's a bold pick for the Wild in 7! The Wild have given my Avs trouble so glad we missed them in the first round. |

Depends on the goalie. Wild have rocked flower, would think some locker room riff will come through when they bring lehner.
And fuck Vegas. Put them in the dirt Minnesota.

The Tampa- Florida game started out super intense. Going to be a great series.

Yea Chicago used it for their cup runs too. I thought they had adjusted it by now.
Really was hoping the Panthers woulda got em this year. Carolinas gonna be a tough out regardless though.

Wow, I didn't know about that. Quite the loophole to exploit come playoff time.
And once again, Kadri goes predatory and a nice fat playoff suspension.

What a pathetic performance from jarry. Lost us the series and if desmith was healthy he woulda had the chance to be the savior but instead we had to stick with our mentally rattled goalie. And I hate the way the isles play, Lou lamorello wants to ruin the game with trap play and forcing everything to the outside.
They know how to get under our skin though and in our heads. Guaranteed they lose in next round as they just can't really play with a half decently coached team.
4 first round playoff losses though I would assume sully is out, prob whole coaching staff is gone as hextall installs his own vision. Curious who we send to Seattle, Letang and geno last year's of their deals. Would assume the rumors will be swirling.
It's worth it for back to back cups but it's really disheartening to keep losing as our window of opportunity keeps getting smaller and smaller with our aging stars, one last squeeze to get them to be a contender this coming year and then the rebuild I believe will definitely be on the table.

We all picked the Pens. Really thought they had potential but another failed playoffs. Isles are so sneaky.
Was watching Canes/Predators highlights and wow, tons of easy backdoor goals.

Nothing sneaky really. Expected goals for was 13 for jarry all series. He gave up 21. i.redd.it/i9lqc94otq171.jpgAs long as Boston can lift the puck and have a half decent goalie (they've got two!) They should make short work of the isles. Everyone in the burgh wants Vegas to win, I swear I'm the only person in the world who hates Vegas with a passion. Let's go Minnesota |
