NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

40 seconds to let Chicago score a soft one.

You're going to need some actual goal tending if you're going to have anyone out in round 1

Assuming you mean Crawford, he has looked damn good in this game. About the only reason the Wings don't have 4-5 goals.

The Preds and Wings should where their solid color jerseys every game. Red against Yellow. It would be epic.

Let's do some quick predictions. These are just off the top of my head, not going to do any real analysis.. just my gut.

Vancouver in 5
Blues in 6
Chicago in 6
Wings in 5
Rangers in 5
Bruins in 4
Devils in 6
Penguins in 7

Looking most forward to Penguins/Flyers series. Going to be a bloodbath.

[Masqerader]

Dats and Kane pretty fun dekes in the shootout to start

West

SJ - 6

STL - 4

Chi - 6

Nsh - 7


East


NYR - 6

Bos - 5

Fla - 5

Pitts - 6

Isn't that just a bit premature since we know exactly one playoff series in the West(Detroit/Nashville) and the East (Philly/Pitt)

[Garbles]

Alright well... I wanted the Hawks to play Preds in round 1.. but that's not happening now and cool beans Kane.

[Irony]

So the absolute worst outcome in this game, has happened.

[Aeriedk]

Well my team isn't in, and this is completely off topic. But...

LETS GO LIGHTNING! Stamkos get 60!!!

Anyone think hes going to get it/not get it?

[Irony]

Fla - 5

If Florida actually wins in 5, or even the series, I'll buy a jersey in disbelief.

I can always change it if things go differently.

Pretty cool thing:

The skinny

You select a roster of six forwards, four defensemen and two goaltenders under a salary cap of $100 million and attempt to outscore your opponents. Points are points; you get one for a goal and one for an assist. Goaltenders accumulate two points for a win and one bonus point for a shutout.

Don't know if you guys care about contest links and such but could be fun to see how everyone does in this. I picked Rinne Fluery in net - Letang Bieska Karlsson and Chara on D - Raduluv Krecji Malkin Kesler Gaborik and Neal up front. Got to 99.5$, .5 under the preset cap they have on there. Thinking of switching out Neal because of him being out but we'll see.

[Ostrichsized]

I'm mad that Jagr didn't salute those bitches.

[Deleted]

When do the playoffs start?

[Garbles]

When do the playoffs start?

Wednesday.

[Deleted]

Wednesday.

Excellent, thanks.

Is there any schedule/fixtures yet? Or will it be decided after tonight?

[Ostrichsized]

Most of the brackets will be decided today.

[Garbles]

All of the brackets will be decided today.

Fixed that for ya.

[Epuration]

I think its about time for a thread name change..
but for the espn thing I just choose all canucks

[Zoma]

Just took my last shave in what I hope is a long time. Go Playoff Beard!

Was bored so made a roster. Halak and Broduer for Goalies, simply chose them based on how certain I am they'll win the series. Attempted to stack D-with players playing terrible goaltenders, So Yandle, Chara, Letang, and Pietrangelo(Unless Kings end up 7th.) Did the same strat with forwards, Crosby/Malkin, free points right there. Whitney and Vbrata will most likely play Chicago, so easy points. Zetterberg always shows up in the playoffs and Richards because Washington always sucked defensively in the Play-offs.

Also created a MMO-Champ group, since apparently you can be in more than one group.

Har har har! Have fun in Nashville!

---------- Post added 2012-04-07 at 05:57 PM ----------

In my opinion Nashville are this years favorites, but don't count out LA. They do have some offensive talent; I don't know why they have so much trouble scoring goals but their defense is great and their goaltending is out of this world! You never know man, they might come out in the playoffs and start kicking ass and taking names. If my Hawks fail I'm going for them in the west and FLA in the east.
