Would love to see Ove win, but as long as it isn't a Kings/Blackhawks/Pens year I'll be happy.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lol, awesome.

Merry Playoffsmas

HOLY SHIT I NEVER EXPECTED TO BE POSTING IN THIS THREAD THIS SEASON

 

[TUSR]

im here to spectate

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I'm here because I believed in Patrick Roy once.

 

[Red_Man]

Not putting this in the OT side?

Rooting for Sharks / Ducks, tired of CHI / LA and the East is garbage.

I did the Finals OT in the OT side. I'll do the same if I do the Finals thread.

This is awesome

 

[Chris R]

Fuck I'm considering going into Downtown LA for G5 of the Kings series if it goes that far...

Tickets aren't that expensive, but the driving is what I'm having second thoughts about.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

An American team will be crowned world hockey champions.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Great OT Quick. Now which playoff series do I follow?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Go Flyers!

 

[zroid]

An American team will be crowned world hockey champions.

Finally!

 

[TUSR]

An American team will be crowned world hockey champions.

future OT thread title.

Would be amazing to delay the flood of Kings lifelongs as deep into the playoffs as possible. I don't want to be banned for more than the Finals.

 

[jello44]

Go Flyers!

 

[Line_HTX]

Let's go, Kings.

Vinny

and

will

Conn

Oh-hohoho~

Leaf Fan's Guide to the Playoffs

ANA-NSH
Prefer Nashville to win, upsets of division winners may improve value of PIT 1st

LA-SJ
Prefer San Jose, Sharks winning the Cup bumps SJ conditional 4th to a 3rd (also Fuck LA)

DAL-MIN
Prefer Minnesota (same as NSH)

STL-CHI
Prefer Chicago, Blues being eliminated early will improve PIT 1st

WSH-PHI
Prefer Philly (same as NSH), also Caps getting bounced early slightly improves their 2016 2nd

PIT-NYR
Prefer NYR, because PIT being knocked out early is ideal

FLA-NYI
Prefer NYI (same as NSH)

TB-DET
No Leaf implications



Best case scenario:

- SJ - CHI / MIN Western Conf Final
- PHI / NYR - NYI / DET / TB Eastern Conf Final
- SJ wins Cup

-> Leafs get San Jose's 2018 3rd
-> Pittsburgh 1st is 21st overall
-> Washington 2nd is 56th overall

[Line_HTX]

Dan Cleary blesses Jonathan Quick and the Kings.

;P

 

[ZeroGravity]

Capitals over Flyers in 5
Rangers over Penguins in 7
Panthers over Islanders in 6
Lightning over Red Wings in 5

Stars over Wild in 5
Blackhawks over Blues in 6
Ducks over Predators in 4
Sharks over Kings in 7

 

[Socreges]

GO....... Panthers? Yeah sure, Panthers. Go Panthers

Also nice OT, Quick,as always

 

[saltypickles]

Go Sharks! Can't wait for them to choke in new and unexpected ways!

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Woo Go CATS!

 

[Future Foundation]

What's more stressful than Rangers Hockey? Rangers POSTSEASON Hockey.

 

[Heretic]

[Red_Man]

<3 u

Don't get banned this time

 

[Heretic]

Don't get banned this time

Blame Schuey!

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

FUCK THE STARS

Seriously, fuck those guys. Wild have better green jerseys. And it actually gets cold up here.

Boom roasted.

 

[KingBroly]

Dallas over Minnesota in 6
St. Louis over Chicago in 4
Anaheim over Nashville in 5
Los Angeles over San Jose in 6

Washington over Philadelphia in 5
NY Rangers over Pittsburgh in 7
NY Islanders over Florida in 6
Detroit over Tampa Bay in 5

 

[Red_Man]

Stars are going to murder the Wild aren't they?

 

[Livingskeletons]

Sharks again.
Godammit that team actually scares me.
DeBoer's system was effective against the Kings back in 2012. Would have rather played Nashville, if we lost to them I wouldn't have had to hear about it at least.

Chicago will probably win again anyway.

 

[Clockblockers]

Let see, since the Hawks won last year this year it's the Kings turn to win, right?

 

[Fata1moose]

Stars are going to murder the Wild aren't they?

As I said, the Stars have a bye.

 

[megachao24]

Yay, playoff hockey.

My terrible predictions:

Stars 4-0 Wild
Blues 3-4 Blackhawks
Ducks 4-2 Predators
Kings 4-3 Sharks

Capitals 4-2 Flyers
Penguins 4-3 Rangers
Panthers 3-4 Islanders
Lightning 4-3 Red Wings

 

[RedRum]

Yay, playoff hockey.

My terrible predictions:

Stars 4-0 Wild
Blues 3-4 Blackhawks
Ducks 4-2 Predators
Kings 4-3 Sharks

Capitals 4-2 Flyers
Penguins 4-3 Rangers
Panthers 3-4 Islanders
Lightning 4-3 Red Wings

The only thing that bothers me here is not that the Rangers lose to the Pens, 4-3, but that it will go to a Game 7. I think we had enough of those last playoffs.

 

[Marvie_3]

<3 u quick

 

[Marvie_3]

Can we trade the Isles and Rangers? That way both the Panthers and Islanders have a chance to move on.

 

[MetatronM]

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I feel like pend are going to screw this up even though we've been getting better. Curious to see how much injuries become a factor.
