Habs or Rangers - Habs

Penguins or Blue Jackets - Penguins

Capitals or Leafs - Caps

Sens or Bruins - Sens

 

Chicago or Preds - Chicago

Wild or Blues - Blues

Oilers or Sharks - Oilers

Flames or Ducks - Ducks

 

Best chances of a 7 game series - Habs/Rangers, really a toss up in this series. Price versus the Rangers depth.

 

Best chance of a sweep - Caps over Leafs. Sorry, but you know it's true. I don't think it will happen, but it's got a decent chance.

 

Best chance of an upset - Sharks over Oilers. Everything on paper favors the Oilers, but the intangibles of experience versus youth might be a big factor.

Playoff Teams with a Corsi% below 50%:

 

Oilers 49.99

Ducks 49.67

Wild 49.34

Sens 48.57

Rangers 47.94

 

The Oilers are just actually Connor McDavid and some scrubs. Wild and Rangers have been lucky in Sh% and Sv%. Ducks don't have anything special going on except super high Sh% luck from Rakell and Eaves.

Getzlaf is tearing it up right now. Almost two points per game since the trade deadline.

It's bound to happen...

You can't win when you build your team around a cocky Russian winger.

Gary Bettman jumps off a bridge.

This isn't possible, they'd meet in the Second round. Now Leafs Sens is possible in the Conference finals...

 

Edit: Also why wouldn't you want the Flames and Oilers in the Western Final?

 

If we beat Washington we would play the winner of Pitts/Columbus. The only chance to play the habs is in the conference finals.

Wow... you switch Conferences, that's messed up. Thanks.

The Leafs are in the Metro side of the bracket because they finished as a WC team. They got rid of re-seeding with this new (dumb) divisional format.

Yeah, I just joined a bracket challenge on NHL.com to see, lol. Wow this whole format is crazy.

Don't feel bad. When I wrote that it was a total guess as to how things went (didn't look it up). Glad to see that I guessed right. You just have to think like Gary Bettman then all the nonsense the NHL does starts to make sense.

I usually like you because you're objective (and also because of your zingers towards Jim), so you've disappointed me quite a bit with your pom-pom laden posts.

This is hockey, not politics. I am allowed. As long as I keep myself from blowing up my online sportsbook account with crappy bets there is absolutely no harm in this.

 

Go Canada!!!! Errr, I mean go random teams with players from a variety of countries that happen to have their home arena located in Canadian cities!!!! And Minnesota...because it's a cold, crappy small market that Bettman hates so it might as well be Canadian.

 

Come on, there's got to be someone, especially a cruel cynic, who would love to see Bettman's pandering to the southern U.S. blow up in his face for a year.

 

But yes, Jim has had some deliciously clueless posts in here too.

Playoff ticket prices are out of control. Leafs nation presale had no pairs of tickets, I didnt bother getting any singles.

Upper level obstructed view on the corner are $360. Cheapest lower bowl reds are $535!

[Dick_Pole]

Leafs win in 4, +4000...!

 

Don't tempt me man.

[ChrisS]

even at 40 to 1 that seems like a bad bet lol. Would be one of the biggest shocks in playoff history. I think the realistic probability we beat Washington is about 10%.

Well I'm one of those stupid MFers that does s*** like put $5-$25 on the NBA Bucks to win the opening series against the Heat back when they had LeBron and Wade at 75 to 1. So this would be right up my alley. But I learned years ago never to bet on teams which I have an emotional attachment.

Rangers swept by the Habs, just like the regular season, Jonn.

All Canadian teams lose game 1 on home ice tonight.

 

Also, holy crap, Allen!
