Round 1 Predictions: 

EAST

Battle of Ontario!! Leafs vs Sens: Leafs in 6. Would love to see Ottawa knock them out but I think Toronto has too much top end talent. 
 

Battle of Florida!! Panthers vs Lightning: Lightning in 7. Think Florida’s injuries and back to back Final appearances finally catch up with them. 
 

Caps vs Habs: Canadiens in 7, unfortunately. I think the Caps are entirely overrated and Montreal speed will be too much for this old ass team. As always, fuck the Habs. 
 

Canes vs Devils: Canes in 5. Neither team really has a chance to win the Cup, just filler until both get knocked out. 
 

WEST

Jets vs Blues: Jets in 7. We all know Winnipeg sucks ass in the playoffs but I think they have enough to overcome the Blues. 
 

Stars vs Avs: Avalanche in 6. Dallas has no chance without Heiskanen, and now possibly Robertson. MacKinnon and Makar are too much. 
 

Golden Knights vs Wild: Vegas in 5. The team I’ll be repping for the playoffs (major fuck you to Don Sweeney!). Kaprizov could make it interesting but Minnesota doesn’t have the horses. 
 

Kings vs Oilers: Kings in 7. Oilers are limping into the playoffs and the Kings are unbeatable at home for some reason.

Two games today to get us started!!

Game 1: Jets vs Blues at 6pm EST

Game 1: Avs vs Stars at 8:30pm EST

The Central might be the most stacked division in the NHL. Going to be an absolute bloodbath path to the Western Conference Final for one of these teams.

This Carolina/New Jersey series is such a waste of time. Both of these teams have zero chance to win the Stanley Cup. In fact, I think all of the Metro division teams kind of just suck this year.

Though yeah, this year was supposed to be a retool for Carolina while still being a playoff team. Blake emerging as a top 6 forward as a rookie was an unexpected pleasant surprise but the defense isn't there unless Nikishin rotates in and is Pronger level from day one, and Burns all of a sudden returns to his form from 2016.

TBH I expect the Canes to get out of the Metro, but then Tampa probably picks us apart in the ECF.

Just saw a slow mo of Manson's hit on Marchment from last night. Flopping ass bitch.

you mean the cross check to the face? lol, like Makar's pansy ass didn't dive earlier in the game.

lol, by who? the avs are one of the smallest teams in the league.

Just a quick look at their roster, I’d start with Manson, Lingred, Makar, Coyle, Lehkonen, Drury, Kelley, and O’Connor to name a few. Dallas has a reputation around the league as a team that isn’t afraid to sell calls, just look at the video of Marchment nearly giving himself a wicked fucking whiplash from a light cross check to the chest. Don’t act like the Stars are the Big Bad Bruins of the ‘70s either. Stars have one tough guy and he’s a liability against speed and skill and he’s a dinosaur.

One thing I love about the Surl, whether we are Jets, Avs, or Stars fans, we all hate Vegas. 

I’m a Vegas guy this playoffs (fuck Sweeney). Pulling for Cassidy to get his second cup.

LOL.  Fitting.

Who the fuck do you want me to root for? The Bruins fucking suck and will continue to suck for probably the next 5 years. I refuse to root for anyone in the East and I barely give a shit about any team out West. I like that Vegas is the perceived bad boys and I fucking wish Cassidy was still behind our bench in Boston.

and none of those guys are substantially bigger than Marchment. there are plenty of players in the league who have tried to run him without success. that's fine, focus on him, will leave Duchene and Seguin open. and I will admit the dive if you admit Makar's "trip" at the beginning of the game was baby shit soft too. it's the playoffs, some calls will be warranted and others won't. complaining about it makes you look like you don't follow the game closely. lastly, I'm not claiming shit about the toughness of the team, just one player, and I'm not even sure I'd call him tough, just big and able to take shit from others. our identity as a bashing team left a while ago. we traded that for skill. hopefully that skill shows up and shows out tonight
