Favorite time of the year, bracket time

[Toxigen]

Who is starting up our bracket? I am ready to gloriously beat @Toxigen this year.

I'm back boys!

I don't think I've even logged in since last year's end of the playoffs.

Bring it on!

[Nazrark]

I have mine in. Deny the Fourpeat.

2 hours to game time. Little bit nervous with Boston as our opponents, but it's going to be awesome either way.

Honestly, better odds for us to beat Boston than Tampa (if Stamkos is healthy) imo. Only goal is to win the cup and there will always be tough competition in the way. But more importantly...

GO LEAFS GO!

[Zeoni]

someone go to overtime please

oooo yah cbj thats the stuff

Nice night of hockey. Forsberg just put in one of the best goals you'll have seen this year. And if Doughty got a game for his hit last night, Kadri should probably see at least that, if not more.

I almost don't want to see that happen, because Boston - Toronto should be a very good, gritty series.

Man that Forsberg goal was just dirty. I love Sam Girard but he got one of those " welcome to the big leagues " kind of lessons on that.

Odds are Kadri is suspended and frankly should be.

Johansen had a hit in the game that might get looked at, and I only saw one angle and I think that made it look worse at speed than it was. When I stopped it frame by frame it looked like he kept the arm tucked, and the primary point of impact was that area where your chest and shoulder kind of cup, but at high it looks like he got head. Who knows anymore what goes and what doesn't.

Also the hit in the Blue Jackets game that got the guy tossed, Anderson I think it was, ended up being a ton worse than the initial hit should have been. I expect he won't see anymore considering he basically missed the whole game, similar to the Hartnell hit.

[Greeney]

My guess is kadri suspended for two, Matt Martin should be brought up as Marner is going to be hit non stop. Hoping to finally see Plekanec do something because the way he's been we may as well have kept Moore in the line up and our 2nd rounder.

Kings look a lot better tonight, going to OT hope we can steal one on the road.

[PickleballAce]

This just in: Jonathan Quick is really fucking good.

He just saved our bacon on a bad pinch by Fantenberg.

[draynay]

Yea, the Kings looked like a team missing their top two defensemen. Came close but they were coming apart prior to the end.

[Armourboy]

Kings need to figure out how to score some goals. Meanwhile Toronto needs to figure out how to keep Boston from scoring.

[Greeney]

Really seems like either Bergeron line goes up against Matthews and makes Matthews a non factor or goes up against anyone else and scores. Only a few players have even tried to show up.

Not going to beat a team if you're going to let them break one of Gretzky's records.

Also still getting more and more frustrated with that Plekanec trade as each game goes, still hoping he proves me wrong but we could be in the exact same place with Moore or Martin on the 4th line.

I'm also not sure how you take too many men penalties in back to back games, not like it would have made a difference, but how hard is it to count to 5? Fuck.

[Rennadrel]

Freddie needs to stand on his head, and the defense needs to stop letting Boston players get open in front of the net, it's a fucking embarrassment.

[draynay]

what the fuck are the refs doing to this game...

Washington/Columbus series looks like a lot of fun, too bad I'm missing it.
