I would like to see the Habs beat the Sharks in the finals, but that is based on the 2 teams I like the most. I usually wait 2 games into the first round before making any serious predictions because my base theory is that whatever goalie gets hot makes the most difference in who wins.

I think both of those teams can certainly win their first matchup... But I'm not sure SJ can get any further than that.

I predict that SJ and Detroit will be the first round upsets. (Kind of weird calling a Detroit win "an upset.")

It'll be interesting to see how Chicago handles their goalie situation. It looks like Crawford is going to start Game 1, but I wonder how fast he'll get the hook if things aren't going well.
 
You guys can predict all you want....IT'S BEEN 9 FUCKING YEARS SINCE I HAD PLAYOFF HOCKEY


GO LEAFS GO!
 
Also. I really think the Leafs have a shot at beating Boston. Them poor guys are tired and we beat the streak they had on us.
 
I would LOVE to see the Leafs succeed!

Original Six FTW!!!
Note: This is the first time since 1996 that all of the Original Six are in the playoffs.

And everyone of them will lose to Pittsburgh. Original Six can go f themselves. They all think they are all high and mighty and above everyone else. Even the stupid NBC announces are bias toward them.

Lets be real here that cup is coming back to Pittsburgh.

Don't be jealous when this happens.

I don't like the term Original Six. Only two are among the first six teams in the league. Oldest Six is more appropriate.

I was going to reply with a pic of the Wings winning a cup... But then I was overwhelmed by all of the possible pictures to use. So, let's go with this one:

LOL! All kidding aside, I'd be surprised if the Penguins weren't in the Stanley Cup Finals.

You're on the Pens bandwagon too?

I'd love to see the kings go the distance again, and based on the regular season games, they can hang with ducks and hawks. Realistically, I'd be surprised if they made it past the second round. I think they'll do OK against the blues, they've had the blues' number for 2 years now, though the blues had added some D since the deadline.

I think it will be ducks or hawks out of the west, and the conference finals will be awesome.

I still think the ducks or hawks will put a whopping on the pens. Probably in 6 games.

Uh, Penguins aren't water fowl. Ducks are 😉
 
One advantage to living in Shanghai is that NHL Center Ice has no blackouts, so I will be watching a lot of hockey.

Boston started the season strong at 14-2-2 but finished in underwhelming fashion. Could go either way against TO...
