[Phil The Thrill]

[fletch]

FUCK YES BOSTON, WOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[kuley]

anyone else find it very strange that Don Cherry's overtime predictions in the MON-BOS series were right every time I think..

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Will the Penguins are out, mainly thanks to Roloson.

Eastern Conference
1. Washington vs. 8. NY Rangers - Should be an easy series for Washington with Callahan out and Gaborik struggling. Only way the Rangers will come out on top is if Lundqvist stands on his head the whole series, but I'm gonna go with Washington.
2. Philadelphia vs. 7. Buffalo- Philadelphia has been struggling since the all star break. Buffalo has great goaltending in Miller and steady offense. Philly has depth up fron and Pronger but their goaltending is an issue with Bobrosvky. I'm going with Buffalo on this one.
3. Boston vs. 6. Montreal - Boston should have no problem with this series. They are built for the playoffs while Montreal is small and fast. Only way Montreal could come out on top is if Price has better goaltending then Thomas and Boston gets into penalty trouble.
4. Pittsburgh vs. 5. Tampa Bay - I think Pittsburgh will come out on top. They have tons of playoff experience in their roster and Stamkos will struggle adjusting to the playoffs.

Western Conference
1. Vancouver vs 8. Chicago - Being as unbiased as possible i think Vancouver won't have much trouble winning this series. With Chicago a skeleton of last seasons team and Bolland's return unknown i think Vancouver will be too much for Chicago to handle this year.
2. San Jose vs 7. Los Angeles - This one is easy, no Kopitar. San Jose should be able to sweep this series.
3. Detroit vs 6. Phoenix - Phoenix doesnt stand much of a chance against the Wings. Their only hope is if Howard struggles, even then this would still be a very difficult series to win for Phoenix.
4. Anaheim vs 5. Nashville - This one is probably the hardest to pick. The teams are pretty much equal and have opposite playing styles. If Anaheim is going to win this their first line hasa to dominate and if Nashville's going to win Rinne and Weber have to be outstanding. The preds also need someone to tep up and score some goals. Im just going to guess Nashville shuts down Anaheims top line and wins this.

Well i got the western conference right.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I got perfect on the East and I was 50% on the West.

PTT, I find it ironic that you cheer for the Bruins because of Kessel when most of us hate him now lol

 

[.infamous]

Haha yes. Knew the Bruins were gonna win that shit. Good Job guys.

I knew someone would say that, but I support Kessel through everything, past and present. Soft, I know. Regular season wise, the Bruins are meh (Except for Lucic).

I think every Leafs fan was cheering for the Bruins anyways.

LOL was just sayin

Honestly, not surprising to me, I think the Leafs/Habs rivalry is bigger than Leafs/Bruins..might just be me though

I wasn't cheering for the Bruins. I wasn't cheering for the Habs either though. I didn't care who won. Though I like a few players on the Habs and none on the Bruins.

Lucic is an asshole, and he also pussied out of a fight with colton orr. during the fight he started hiding behind the refs and telling them to break it up.
