NHL Playoffs!

[Nakor]

Hey, thought I'd create a playoff thread for any hockey fans out there. Also, so I could announce that the Canucks will totally take the cup this year.

...

What? They will!

Okay, anyway. Here's the matchups:

WEST
(1) SJ vs (8) COL
(2) CHI vs (7) NAS
(3) VAN vs (6) LA
(4) PHO vs (5) DET

EAST
(1) WAS vs (8) MON
(2) NJ vs (7) PHI
(3) BUF vs (6) BOS
(4) PIT vs (5) OTT

My predictions:

SJ in 4, CHI in 5, VAN in 5, DET in 7, WAS in 5, NJ in 5, BUF in 7, PIT in 6.

DET/PHO is going to be one hell of a matchup, both teams are hot and it could go either way. In the East's 4/5 matchup, I like Ottawa but I don't think they can take Pittsburgh. (Pittsburgh will have a hell of a second round problem whoever they get though.) Buffalo/Boston is the big match over there, because Boston has a great road game that should keep things interesting. I'll be shocked if any of the #1/#2 rank teams is tossed in the first round this year.

Predictions anyone?

lol hockey

I love hockey and I can't wait for the playoffs to start. Here are my predictions:

WEST
SJ in 5
CHI in 5
VAN in 6
DET in 7

EAST
WAS in 4
NJ in 6
BUF in 7

As for the Ottawa-Pittsburgh matchup, I'm a pretty big sens fan and I don't wanna create any bad karma by making a prediction lol. Pittsburgh's got a pretty awesome team, but for what it's worth, Ottawa has a healthy Daniel Alfredsson going into the playoffs for the first time since they went to the finals and he can just control a game. Along with a red hot Jason Spezza, if they get some good goaltending they could make the series interesting.

LOL.

I have to say, I <3 the Preds at least a bit. They play a fun style of hockey. But I'll be amazed if they survive the Hawks.

[bazungandshinnagan]

yea true the hawks are a good team i dont expect the the preds to get past the first round but i hope they make it intresting.

and btw this is rly wierd bc i started the white meat v dark meat thread and i just randomly stumbled apon this in which u started lol
