If so, who do you think will win the Stanley Cup and why? I feel like the Penguins have the best chance with so much depth. Although I would like to see the Blackhawks make a comeback.
Never really seen hockey talked about on here but surely there are at least some people who are into it.
We usually have an annual NHL playoff thread but no one made it this year.
It would be pretty amazing to see the Hawks come back and win the series but against a veteran team like the Wings, with a coach like Babcock… I don’t see it happening. :X
Going to be a tight Eastern FInal…Pens have been rolling over teams for the most part all year but Boston is pretty damn solid. Should definitely go to 6 or 7.
Also hoping for a Wings-LA West final. Poor SJ…always good but not good enough. I’d really like to see big Joe win a Cup though.
Yea, the Bruins/Penguins is gonna be a great series I think. Bruins don’t have as much firepower, but they’re pretty solid defensively. I do not want the Sharks to win! I’m a Stars fan and they’ve been a pretty big rivalry over the years. Excited to actually be able to watch the Sharks/Kings tonight. First game that hasn’t been on late.
Yep! Played our first playoff game of the session last night and won in a shootout 3-2. I beat the blocker high on our first goal and also slammed the puck through the five hole in the shootout.
I feel like I should be rooting for the Penguins since they have 3 former Stars. Its safe to say you guys got the better end of the infamous James Neal trade! Goligoski ended up with a bunch of assists, but hes just so frustrating to watch sometimes.

Yep it’s a series now. I’m not gonna whine, but a penalty shot? Really?
Since the wings let them back in it I’m going to say Chicago vs LA, with the Penns taking it all. Fuck! I can’t believe I said that.[/quote]
hey man I got respect for you saying that. I said the Wings were gonna win game 6 and I’m a Hawks fan. Chicago-Detroit fans may shit talk each other all day but this has been one hell of an entertaining series and these two teams are obviously pretty damn good.

I like that it’s all now down to one game. The teams seem equally paired.
It will be interesting tomorrow to finish my scrimage and see what’s happened.

Yeah the Wings surprised quite a few people, including me. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year, so anything they accomplish now is gravy. Kind of interesting to see them come in as the underdog spoiler considering how many times they have been on the other end.
Chicago really is the more talent laden team, especially on defense. It just goes to show how far coming in hot from fighting for your season will take you.
