Any predictions?

[renard_ruse]

Well both my favorites are number 8 seeds, so I'm not expecting much.

I will say it will be St. Louis vs. New York in the final, but GO KINGS!

 

[Dribble]

Bruins vs Blues

(Same dark horse as last year...Preds)

 

[clutch1]

Let's Go Rangers!
I don't like the way they finished the season, but that's my team and I'm sticking with them.

 

[harry johnson]

Rangers blues

Rangers Vancouver

Rangers Nashville

However, rangers kings, as unlikely as it sounds could well be.. The kings have been playing virtual playoff hockey for months now.

Let's go rangers, let's go rangers

 

[Silverlily]

Considering I never expected the Caps to make the playoffs this year, I'll take whatever I can get. If the Penguins get blown out, double bonus.

Ovie and Sid the Kid go home after round one. I agree with Dribble, Bruins and Blues.

 

[Cratchit]

I am going with the Pens. I realize that most people don't like them but i just think they are too deep and too talented to not make it to the finals


I dont see anyone in the eastern conference who can beat them in seven games

 

[shoulderblade]

Given the toss ups involved I will do the First round.

New York Rangers
Boston
New Jersey
Philadelphia
Vancouver
St. Louis
Chicago
Detroit

For a final Rangers-Canucks Winner Vancouver

So there!

 

[alabama]

First round:
Go Canucks Go!
Disco Dan & the Penguins
Rangers
Nashville
Caps - fucking hate the Ruins & refuse to pick them & I like Ovechkin.
Phoenix
Shark Tank. They like to upset.
MarTan Brodeur

Canuck vs Rangers in the Final. Canucks in 6.

The main reason no one like the pens is because they get preferential treatment and it goes way back to Mario and jagr when they
Use to
Flop like fish after being hit and then cry incessantly to the refs. Malkinstein is a dirty player and Crosby the biggest baby in the game's history. Never before has such a talented player been so despised around the league by other players, fans, coaches and GM's - he is a total dick

Yea. That's why I picked Philly for the series. I figure it is really a toss up but I dislike the Pens so badly I just could not go with them. It's Cindy Crosby, by the way.

thank you for this. these kind of comments always make me smile because of how far off of reality they are. again, thank you

really? people still resort to this sadness?


get a fuckin clue

Right - to anyone outside pittsburgh it is reality. Sorry to burst your bubble, but very few hockey fans outside of your fine town like Crosby. Malkenstein is dirty. His nickname should be slewfoot Malkin.

By the way, great game last night. While I hate the flyers, nothing makes me happier to see the pens lose.

 

[Loring2]

Fore checking is vip

Either Blues or Red Wings Vs the Bruins in the finals

 

[Beco]

Any predictions?

Caps kick Bruins ass!

 

[Morcheeba]

So the Florida Panthers with a major bad luck streak play the Devils on Friday the 13th?

Hey, I'm cool. Really no reason for there to be an ICE hockey team in South Florida, anyway.

but there is no bubble bursting. its not like i am being naive here. people may not like crosby (i suspect its cause he isnt on their team) but everyone i talk to at least has respect for how talented Sid is


Malkin dirty??? lol congrats, you are the first one i ave ever heard imply, speculate, state, mention anything about him being dirty.


Yeah, that game was disgusting. i hope tonight is much better

 

[renard_ruse]

Kings lead series 2-0 over Canucks!

 

[Dribble]

Kings lead series 2-0 over Canucks!

This doesn't really surprise me...but how easy they have done this has.

 

[renard_ruse]

Senators even series 1-1.

Number 8 seeds doing pretty well!

 

[Paendragon]

I'm late, but I'll add my picks here. Some are not looking so good (I'm looking at you Pittsburgh and Vancouver).

Rangers over Ottawa
Boston over Washington
New Jersey over Florida
Pittsburgh over Philadelphia
Vancouver over LA
San Jose over St. Louis
Chicago over Phoenix
Nashville over Detroit

Actually, I'm doing pretty poorly based on the play I've seen so far.

Hmmmm. Actually your picks look pretty reasonable it's the teams that are screwing everything up. Who would have thought the favourites (Vancouver and Pittsburg) would start down two?

Good thing I don't bet money on this stuff.

Blackhawks Baby!!
