NHL 2012 Playoffs

[El Canuck]

Well, there goes the Pittsburgh Crosbys.

[RatedRSuperstar]

So far I have been:

Canucks sweep Kings

wrong

Blues over Sharks in 5

right

Coyotes over Blackhawks in 6

still have a chance

Red Wings over Predators in 5

wrong

Rangers over Senators in 5

wrong

Bruins over Capitals in 6

wrong

Devils over Panthers in 7

still have a chance

Flyers over Penguins in 7

wrong

Looking forward to seeing how wrong I am.

very

[El Canuck]

So far I've only got one that still has a chance of being right, provided Boston can beat Washington on Wednesday.

[coalition77]

Vancouver in 5
Blues in 5
Blackhawks in 7
Predators in 6

Rangers in 4
Bruins in 5
Panthers in 7
Penguins in 5

Holy dog shit was I wrong about most of it. At least I got the Blues right, almost had the Preds right (One More Game!!!) and can still get either the Blackhawks or the Panthers right. But my god, have the top seeds just been utter shit this year.

[El Canuck]

So Round 2 in the west is decided, it's King vs Blues and Coyotes vs. Predators. Should be interesting, all four of these teams are cup virgins. When the East is finished I'll put up a bracket for our predictions again.

Boy am I glad the Bruins are out. The less success Boston teams have, the better for my sanity

[El Canuck]

Blah, I was hoping to see the Washington Ovechkins go home.

[RatedRSuperstar]

Here's to hoping Ottawa stays in the playoffs.

[El Canuck]

Last games of round 1 tonight. Should be interesting, if Florida and Ottawa win, we'll have only one team in Round 2 with any previous Cups to their name, and that's Philly, who've gone almost forty years without a cup.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SUCK ON IT CANADA

LETS GO RANGERS! LETS GO RANGERS! LETS GO RANGERS!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SUCK ON IT CANADA

LETS GO RANGERS! LETS GO RANGERS! LETS GO RANGERS!

Yeah, because Canadians were just jumping at the chance to rally around f'n Ottawa, as Canada's Team....

[coalition77]

So many close games, this has been one hell of a postseason. I'm kind of intrigued by the Washington/New York series as I'm wondering if either Lundqvist can start to get going. He has been kinda shaky so far. Also, love the goalie matchup in the Phoenix/Nashville matchup. Should be a good second round.

[El Canuck]

I agree, 2nd round should be great. I also echo Neish's sentiments regarding Canada rallying around Ottawa, of all teams. In the east they're generally hated by both Habbies and Leafers, and the west are generally indifferent to the Sens when compared to the Leafs/Habs. Winnipeg's just happy to have a team again.

One thing I've wondered, why do Toronto call the team the Maple Leafs versus the Maple Leaves?

[El Canuck]

2nd round predictions:

NYR in 6
PHI in 7
STL in 6
NSH in 4

[RatedRSuperstar]

Kings over Blues in 7
Coyotes over Predators in 6
Rangers over Capitals in 5
Devils over Flyers in 7

I wound up being right about 3 of them in the first round...hopefully I'm right about 3 in the second as well.

[Red_And_Yellow]

Devils/Flyers is going to be an interesting series. Bryzgalov has been a wall in the regular season vs the Devils. 3-0 with a GAA under .50. They split the regular season, but the Devils didn't win one game where Bryz was in net. I'm going Flyers in 5.

[El Canuck]

Jersey up a goal already, PHX, NYR and LAK taking the first games of their series; certainly shaping up to be interesting alright.

[coalition77]

Little late on the predictions

Kings in 6
Predators in 6
Capitals in 7
Flyers in 5

Philly up a game already, PHX, NYR and LAK taking the first games of their series; certainly shaping up to be interesting alright.

Fixed it for you.
