OFFICIAL NHL Playoffs Scahdenfreude Thread

Don't know how the fuck the Pens were able to get to 2nd best record with the AHL defensemen they were using, but not having Letang will be a big enough blow to keep them from repeating.

I hate the Blackhawks, but gotta go with them to win it all. They'll be tanned, rested, and ready as the West is a shit show, while the East winner goes through a grind.

Hawks over Habs

Caps choke in 2nd round and Ducks get upset again in 1st round. Like Geico it's what they do

Ducks/Flames is the 1st round series that will have the most game to game drama ... there will be a lot of physical play

On paper the Pens/CBJ series should be the best ... but I really don't trust the Pens D ...

As for my Caps pick I'm well aware of the track record of the President's Cup winners ... but the Caps have the best all around team and if they are going to ever win a Cup this is their best shot
 
Penguins win, and I don't care how

I will add that playoff hockey is just behind March Madness and the NFL as the best post season league. MLB is good too, with pitching rotation strategy in full effect.

Basketball post season and College Bowl games can DIAF.

I like the Sharks in this series. They like to wait until later rounds to choke and the Oilers appear to hate having the lead.

Getting Couture back was huge.

Hopefully Joe Thornton can stay injured for a few more months.
 
Still taking Oilers in 6 but el oh el if we get Oiler tears out of this. They are so much more talented but lack the experience and took so many dumb penalties last night.

The playoffs are a completely different animal ... IF the Sharks stay/get healthy during the series they probably win ...

But the learning curve and lessons are often fast and the Oilers are very talented ... I'm still expecting a long series that could go either way
 
What the duck is a San Jose anyways? Some up-jumped suburban shithole that thinks they know how to play hockey? My Gretzkys need to lay the hammer down and de-fin these so-called sharks.

Your Gretzkys are playing Minnesota

The Caps are not going to win because they're the Caps.

HTH

I thought about that but the Gretzky in STL era is funny.
I was deprived as a child, because I only got to see 90s Gretzky.

Yes you were. 80s Gretzky was amazing.
