And Oilers-Sharks it is. There won't be a all Canadian playoff match up until the second round at least.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Looks like Edler tipped that in. He got the memo.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

100 points for McDavid.

 

[dem]

100 points for McDaddy

 

[Marvie_3]

Booooo for no Canada on Canada crime in the 1st round.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

One hundred points. Boss McDavid.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Bob Miller's last play call was for Shea Theodore's goal to beat the Kings in OT.

 

[RC]

29th is all locked up. Thank you Oilers.
Now go get eliminated in the first round.

 

[Fata1moose]

One hundred points. Boss McDavid.

Really impressive in this NHL.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Comeback is on!

 

[Socreges]

Tryamkin!

Sure why not

Isn't Nolan Patrick the most boring and meh 1st overall in recent years tho?

Yes

But there is still a difference between the first few picks and the rest, as always.

 

[MetatronM]

Maple Leafs @ Capitals
Blue Jackets @ Penguins
Rangers @ Canadiens
Bruins @ Senators

Predators @ Blackhawks
Blues @ Wild
Flames @ Ducks
Sharks @ Oilers

All done here.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

29th is all locked up. Thank you Oilers.

What if the Oilers take on the Flames in R2?

Congrats, shitty draft this year though.

 

[Marvie_3]

Wheres the playoff thread? Enough of this shit.

 

[kopitarrulez_11]

Oilers will not be any easy task for the shorks the speed will be tough to maintain

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Kid's just too fast for this league, it's like the oilers are playing on turbo.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Thornton and Couture are question marks too.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Ducks vs Flames has plenty of heat. Rematch, and that kneeing incident last week. Not the battle of Alberta but probably still gonna be intense

 

[RC]

What if the Oilers take on the Flames in R2?

That would actually be great. Was hoping for a battle of Alberta.

Congrats, shitty draft this year though.

We'll pick first overall for the first time in franchise history only for him to be a complete and utter bust.
Canucks hockey.

Im ok with this.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I don't want a Battle of Alberta this year, you can have it next year.

Your problem remains as long as you're stuck with the sedin twins.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Nah well have it round two 😘

 

[Acid08]

Oilers in 5

at least the Kings missed after making their trades lmao

 

[Socreges]

Your problem remains as long as you're stuck with the sedin twins.

🙄

I'm still on the Hischier best player in the draft train. Before Pronman made it cool

Yeah I want Hischier

 

[Fata1moose]

I want to not suck.

 

[Marvie_3]

Oilers in 5

Shhh dont talk like that 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Your problem remains as long as you're stuck with the sedin twins.

No the problem is that we have no one to succeed them.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I assume we'll go into more detail about our predictions later but here's who I think will win in the west

Hawks
Blues
Oilers
Flames.

 

[Acid08]

Shhh dont talk like that 🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊

Thornton and Couture are dead in the ground

Pavelski, Hertl, Braun, Ward all dealing with nagging injuries

predictable DeBoer offense

bad pp

loooooooooooooool

 

[Buba Big Guns]

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but anyone else think best of 7 is overkill? I mean why the hell do you have to win 4 fucking times. Best of 3 or even 5 makes way more sense.

Are you a Caps fan?

 

[MetatronM]

Rangers-Habs Game 3 is on Sunday.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Not in this draft, you might get an Alexander Daigle-type talent if you're lucky.

 

[Calamari41]

NHL playoffs should be single elimination, let's knock this thing out by this time next weekend and let Carlyle lift his Cup again.

Dude should get a jock that fits if he needs to lift his cup.

 

[BTails]

Alright, Flames... you gotta win in the Ponda Centre. I need to drink Calamari's salty tears when we advance to round 2 against all odds.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'm scared of the Flames, guys. Team is too strong.

 

[Calamari41]

All I want is for everyone to be safe and have a great time out there. I've got a cooler full of Capri Sun and orange slices for both teams after the series is over.

Pool party at Smack's house when we're done.

 

[Holiday]

Why play a whole game? Just have a 16-team knockout shootout.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

And that's the regular season.

 

[ShaneB]

Not really an unpopular opinion when the ratings for hockey in the US suck. So it's just more games for people to not watch.

I mean hockey in June is nonsense. it's blasphemy to think of getting rid of that great game 7 magic... but what is that magic except one game to decide it all? March Madness is madness because it's one game, obviously the NFL is an entirely different beast having one game, etc etc. MLB wildcard games, etc.. People can't help but love knowing one game is going to decide who moves on.

But the Stanley Cup is the greatest trophy in sports, and should remain hard as hell to win.

 

[bonesmccoy]

This talk reminds me of that TSN baseball lad who recently wrote to Manfred and told him to reduce the strike/ball count by one.

My vibe: Cut the pre-season in half and start the league 2 weeks earlier.

Ticket/ad revenue is a big reason why.

Both of those sports suck shit though.


MLB wild card is awful too.

I could go for this.

I'll bring Sunny D and some granola bars. Best of luck to both teams, though Go Flames Go!

Spoiler

I'll be at Game 3, so if you could win that one, it'd be great, thanks

 

[Cake Boss]

Good regular season guys, no one got banned all year 😇😇

Another year, more blessings for NHL-GAF on Marvie's birthday.
